Subtitle: Rise and Resist
I couldn't stop thinking about it....so I spent some time this morning making a mini joy journal.
I may make some of these for the Tiny Art Gallery this season. I'm not done making joy journals! I'm not sure I'll ever be done.
I added a couple snippets on the first page...but will include several more in the pockets.
This painted paper has been kicking around the studio for a while. I've always like it...and it matched the scrappy heart perfectly....so it needed to go in this little mini.
It was a beautiful day to be downtown for the rally today....
and what a treat that the cheery trees were blooming in front of City Hall.

This gentleman and his upside down flag caught my eye. We are still a country in deep distress!
A group representing Rise and Resist, Singing Resistance handed out cardboard 206 silhouettes representing those Mainers abducted during Ice's despicable Operation Catch of the Day. The actual number is much higher...and people are still being taken.
We held our silhouettes up as they sang...and it was quite powerful.
Rise and Resit
with JOY!
A mini joy journal possibly going to the Tiny Art Gallery—great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheery cherry blossoms!
Thank you so much for sharing the Rise and Resist, Singing Resistance initiative at today's rally. Touches my heart; very powerful.
Thanks Dotty....turns out the day after my birthday was just as delightful as the day of. Every day is what we make it.
DeleteAnother wonderful joy journal, MaryAnn, so full of possibilities! Love the cover and inside cover color - one of my favorites! And such beautiful photos from today's rally. The silhouettes and the meaning behind them really struck me. Such heartfelt and joyful resistance! Thank you for being there.
ReplyDeleteI love that color too Judy! I think I'm going to enjoy making these minis. And I agree...it was a powerful visual experience at the rally...so glad we went.
