This "spilling" thing is really going deeper! Its kinda scary! This page is venting out feelings I have had for a long time. I am shaking just doing this, but to confront these feelings feels great. I had some emotional abuse growing up, and (gulp) I have always sort of felt rejected. Its something VERY difficult for me. To protect myself from being hurt, I throw up barriers. I don't mean to, but in the end, it makes things horribly painful for me. Anyway, thats what this page is about.
The Photo on this page is one that I took this past week, on the way to one of Gillian's appointments. There is this abandoned building and I always love passing by it, just to see the cool graffiti.

Awesome page! I think it is incredible that you know the feelings you are feeling and being able to identify them. Beautifully done!
Kristy-I love the intensity of this page. And the one with the face-I am just me- is incredible as well. You are getting your voice through your art. Love the rest of the journal pages and your samples for Inka-beautiful. I am behind in my blog reading due to storms ad flooding, but what a pleasure to catch up with yours! Great work!!
hugs, chris
I love your page!!!It's funny what we see on the way to going somewhere else, I see art in everything too. Keep journaling, it is great therapy.
Great eye- your page looks amazing!! I think that journaling is therapeutic too...keep on going!
Wow!! Kristy, this is fabulous as is all the art you've been sharing lately!!! You are an inspiration!!!! I also love the pics of the kids on the horse... they are sure growing up.
Love this one too. I admire you or maybe envy you for taking on some more "deeper" challenges in journaling. I really have a hard time with that and can't seem to get to that point most of the time. I should but it's just easier to avoid I guess. :)
What a gorgeous page. Love the colors and the composition. Great stuff!
Kristy, this page is beautiful! The colors are perfect.

I so admire your ability to work so close to your feelings. This page is amazing and so inspires me to try a journal but I fear I could never capture my feelings the way you do. You are truly an artist of the highest level and that is a height we all would like to attain.
Now I understand why I was so taken by this image on Flickr. I, too, experienced abuse as a child and built walls to protect my Self. It's a hard row to hoe, but facing up to the emotions is the way to process them.
Amazing journaling!
