SMUDGEFEST-day 1 "BI-POLAR"

Hello, today I revisited my Dark "over-the-edge" journal, which is a WIP.

It is dark, because it deals with my depression, and bad things in my life, or things that my depression makes "bad". It is Over-the-Edge, because every page has stuff that hangs over the outer edge.

Today for SMUDGEFEST you had to use a SMEARED INK image and make something opposite= BI-POLAR.
so, I went for my broken heart (winged broken heart image by SMEARED INK) vs. a whole, sweet heart (image by DESIGNED 2 DELIGHT) The word "broken" is also by Smeared ink, the rest of my verse is computer generated.

The front:
Images as stated above, paper by MARTHA STEWART, Diamond Glaze by JUDIKINS used over the blood splats, German scrap wings in chocolate by COLLAGE STUFF. Both Heart painted with Tim Holtz distress inks by RANGER. Misc. clear and frosted heart buttons

The Back, for journaling:
misc. paper. TIM HOLTZ distress ink black soot and sharpie

I am also entering this Dark Journal page in the "anything goes" challenge at:

I like the name you've given the journal... "Dark over-the-edge"... Mostly I like it for the reason for the choice of name.

OK, so I'm amused by strange things. ;)
