Balance ...It's like riding a bicycle
I am in an art group for journaling. Each month and we are given an assignment of 2 prompts and 2 pages to put in our journal.
One of the prompts for the month of January is - Balance.
The Balance page on the left is all the quotes I have collected on balance printed on rice paper, adhered with matte medium to background sheet, colored with linen ink and red pattern stamping. Then a mylar sheet overlay with a balance image printed on it. A few of the most inspiring of the balance quotes are:
“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.” ~ Patti Smith
"Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some." ~ Robert Fulghum
The right hand page is an overlay of the same balance image printed on vellum.
Lift the vellum sheet to reveal the background balance sheet. Ta da ...
Acrylic paint was used to paint the yin yang symbol and clipart images were matte medium adhered in a balancing act!
To keep your balance you must keep moving."
~ Albert Einstein

Great "balance" spread in your journal. I looked through many of your previous posts and really enjoy your artwork, especiall like your quotes. I read all about the Greek scholar anon and had quite the laugh. Thanks for the directive.
