To wander with heart

Although it still may be a while before we are able to journey again, I am able to voyage in my heart and imagination and in my art journaling.
Mary C. Nasser, Mixed Media Art Journaling
I would love to explore the foreign shores of Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way, and this page celebrates that dream. I visualize the lush green landscape, blue ocean waves, the ancient and rugged terrain, the Cliffs of Moher, clean air and long summer days of 20 hours of sunlight.

I’ve layered green and blue hues of Wildthorne watercolors and Traci Bautista’s color reactive crystals along with bits from vintage atlases, some Irish postage stamps, and a compass sticker. I also stenciled the words to wander from my Let’s Go 2 stencil along with waves from my Water's Edge stencil, and Land, Sky & Sea stencil from StencilGirl® Products. And I pounced white gesso through my Map Stencil along the upper right border of the page to add patterning to the layers of watercolor, too. Lastly, I wrote in some song lyrics from Van Morrison that came to mind while reflecting on this destination I wish to see.

This journaling prompt came from The Ruby Dahlia Society.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and Happy New Year,
