The sky

We realize our mortality.

We realize the immensity around us.

These are the foundations of a spiritual life.

Thomas Moore

Judy's Journal

all the lived emotions

What is this blog about?

I use my design wall like a sketch book.

I use my black hard covered sketchbook/journal to keep my thoughts and quotes from what I am currently reading.

This blog juxtaposes photos of my design wall with the newest words from my sketchbook/journal. Sometimes they seem to go together, which is interesting to me.

Ideas and false starts and things I read are important to my process. This blog just records, it does not analyze. This blog is a glimpse into how I work.

The labels below are a guide through each piece's evolution. Some pieces have long histories, others only a passing glance. Please use the labels to navigate.

Resolved work and thoughts will continue as usual on my main blog, Judy's Journal.

Welcome.
