January 2, 2010 -- Itinerary #1

Itinerary-#1-Patience_web

I joined Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Caravan for this year.  There will be 52 entries (called Itineraries) for this journey.  I hope I keep more up to date on this than I did with Project 365!

This is my layout for Itinerary #1.  Our assignment was to choose our word for the year.  My word is PATIENCE.  I seem to have little of that lately, and now that I am aware of it, I will strive to  be mindful of being patient--after all, it is the greatest virtue!

I chose my cluster elements very carefully.  First, the luggage tag has the word PATIENCE inserted into it.  Then I chose the gear because it moves slowly, the heart because patience is needed in any loving relationship, then the foliage because for things to grow we must have patience, the watch case because time is the most important aspect of being patient.

My layout doesn't look very "artsy" but I am hoping by the time my journey is complete, I will have learned something about doing an art journal and an improvement will be seen.  Again, patience is the key--and, perseverance!
