Paint Party Friday # 49

Honey, I´m hoooome!
After two months and a half, I´m back at Paint Party Fridays.
In fact after two months and a half I gathered my stash again. All of it. Just like it happens.

Dining-room table: painted art journaling on the left, scrapbooking on the right.

 Kitchen table: collage art journaling on the left, written journaling on the right.

 My word for 2012 is expansive. My iGoogle has a sticky note that says: Deeper than the ocean, higher than the sky. Yes, in English. I found it that way and loved it that way.
Now ... when things get stuck. My plan was to paint the title page with my word and use the journal for guide/intention quotes. Faber Castell aquarelle pencils on Canson white paper. You might remember the deep greenish/purple colour of the sea in Las Grutas.

 You see where this is going? If I wrote "deeper than the ocean" and then "higher than the sky", ocean would be written in the sky and sky on the ocean. And it just didn´t sound right the other way around.
One day I was telling hubbie about it and as I translated it ... it sounded perfectly the way I needed it to be in Spanish! Tan alto como el cielo, tan profundo como el mar. (We use as deep as the sea, not ocean.)
Voilá! My title page for this year´s art journal.
