Art Journal prompt 1

So, i've decided to take part in The Year In the Life of an Art journal again this year.  I *am* late.  Very late.  It started on January 15, 2012 and it's now June 12, 2012.  Haha  Oh well, that's me.  Takes me a while to get started on things.  I'm always late to the party.

Here's the "rules" (just something to broaden our horizons, so not technically rules)
THE PROMPT: Word
ie: along the lines of One Little Word, choose one word that embodies the way you want your year to be LIVED.
THE STUFF: Imagery
ie: Use images, clippings... all to create the FEELING of the word you choose.
THE TECHNIQUE: PAINT/DOODLE
ie: paint and doodle on your images to further create the emotion of your word


Here's my entry.  I'm using an ole journal book i've had for a LOOONG time.  It's kraft paper and it's paperchase (?, i think).  I bought it from Borders in their clearance section and i've always wanted to use it for something.  I've hoarded for a while and now i'm glad i'm using it.  I've also glued some of the pages together b/c it's pretty flimsy.  


I used Thickers - I didn't have a complete Thickers alpha set so i compromised and I LOVE LOVE the way it turned out! 

My word was Regret - it seems like i'm always using that word in my art journals but i"m using it again.  :) I've used acrylic paint and background stamps.  I doodled around the edges and i'm going to journal on the right side of this page.  

My journaling is going to say something to this effect:  No matter how you cover up regret it always seeps through.
