CED2011 ~ Wk7...my art

This week I participated in Art Journal Love Day Party at Dirty Footprints Studio and this is my art for the party. OH, and the huge bonus - I actually WON one of the giveaways. Super excited!!! I get a Creating My Goddess Year workbook, planner & calendar from Godess Leonie. Can't wait to check it out!!

I was inspired by a Rumi quote - "only from the heart can you touch the sky". When I started the journal page, I had an idea in mind. I was blending some of the red, pink & white on another piece of paper to add to the page when I dediced to put my hand in the colors. In the palm of my hand was a heart shape where the paint did not stick. It didn't transfer to the page that way so I added a heart. If you look in the top right of the page you can also see a heart among the clouds.

I had no intention of using my hand when I was thinking of what to create, but I like how it fits perfectly with the quote -- reaching with your heart for the sky. I like when something unplanned works out better than what you planned. :-)

Below are some left over hearts that I'm going to save for another project. I'm sure they'll fit perfectly.
