The Gifts of Imperfection on Oprah and it started today!! My book club friends are signed up too and we are going to share our experiences as we follow the course. One of the reasons I joined was that Brene is encouraging participants to create an art journal as they go along, something I have been wanting to do for a while. Her supply list includes a copy of her book, The Gifts of Imperfection, a journal/sktech book, water colours & brushes, double sided tape and markers. Supplies I have!!!! Generally unwilling to follow the rules (OR maybe my desire for control), I have decided to do my art journaling on half sheets of white cardstock (8.5" x 5.5") which I will bind into a book when they are done. Here is my title page. As you can see I immediately had the opportunity to embrace imperfection when, after I am more than half way finished my page, I see that I have misspelled Imperfection!! I loved what I had already created and had no desire to start again so I just added the missing letters and kept going. I hand lettered the title with a black fine tip Sharpie, added the frame and then the surrounding spaces. Watercoloured the whole thing!! I am very happy with the way it turned out!!
If you are interested in participating you can follow the above link for get more information. We all deserve to love ourselves and live authentically!! It is NEVER too late!!
