onetwothreepeaceful: play that song

Play that song / 2

For one of my art journaling pages, I had to draw inspiration from a music video, and either use that song for the actual journaling or a different one. Here's the video I chose:

And the song I used:

At the end of the day, I reallyREALLY loved this prompt and will probably use it a few more times. So much creative potential. It was actually a little difficult in the beginning to look at the video and decide which elements I wanted to put on paper (I'm a perfectionist, but there's no right/wrong way to work on an art journal, so onetwothreepeaceful), but the party theme was a no-brainer and the masks. Of course, the masks. After watching the video a few times I realized I had my work cut out for me- my very own three minute inspiration board. How cool is that? Um, very.

I hope you're gearin' up for a fun weekend! The Boyfriend and I are taking a mini roadtrip to Galveston for some much needed maxin' and relaxin'. Yep, you heard me right. Ladies and gentlemen, I will FINALLY be getting some serious facetime with the salty spray and sand between my toes. Beach better be ready, I'm comin' for ya!

Play that song / 1

Because obviously my life isn't busy enough with working full time, art projects (including my Summer Of Love art journal), learning about photography, reading, getting ready for fall semester, spending some quality facetime with people I love...I signed up for yet another art journaling class taught by, once again, the eversolovely Miss Kara Haupt. I mentioned it two weeks ago in a B&P post. Yeah. That one. Art journaling about music is taking me to some really exciting, weird, deep, and semi-scary places.

You guys, even though I turn a twitching, wary eye/fullbodycringe at the thought of marriage, it's a little too late for me. I'm married to music, and always have been. More on this later, because I never personally weighed in during the Record Store Day series, but I wanted to share some of the pages I've done in this book so far. I included one or two lyrics pages in my Summer of Love journal, but this is a whole other beast. A composition book turned awesome. And in true Loverboy style, I'm lovin' every minute of it.
