Torchbearers of the Heart

Day two of Women Unleashed Online Retreat included a guided journey by Shiloh Sophia - an intentional creativity exercise on Torchbearers of the Heart. 
These are my torchbearers. This was done in about 10 minutes using waterproof pen and watercolor paints. Amazing for me because #1 - I tend to avoid drawing people. #2 - I rarely create artsy things quite so spontaneous and in the moment.  
It was fabulous creating it. I need to do more of this. :) 

This retreat is just what I need to recenter and focus. 

A journal in process...

My journal for Women Unleashed Retreat 2016 is a work in progress... 

Here is the beginning. It's painted with two colors of acrylic, a metallic teal and blueish green. This shows much bluer than it is in real life.... my phone camera just don't do greens well. I just used random brush strokes and then while wet, made bubble wrap texture. I used it like this for the opening session. 

And then because one cannot waste all that good paint, I printed the inside cover with the paint on the bubble wrap.

I used a sunflower stencil.  several layers of paint later... 

 Here's the journal cover for today's session. 

I intend to add details to the sunflower, and maybe some words. 

I'm just not sure what all yet. I'll work on it as I go along.
