Negative Journal Look Through (Finished Journal)

I made a post last September talking about an idea for a project I’d had. It was a journaling project where I work in two journals simultaneously: a positive journal for good days and a negative journal for bad days. I ended up completing the project at the end of February and did a couple of blog posts here looking through my positive journal and my negative journal. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I hadn’t manged to fill all the pages in my negative journal at the time, so said I would update you again when I had.

This is that update and these are the rest of my pages in my negative journal.

It is interesting to me that by the end of my positive journal there was a clear style and favoured colour combinations emerging, but I feel like in this journal there is much less of that. There is a greater variation in colour and more adventurous colour combinations, I suppose because I’m typically working quicker and therefore are less considered in my choices. It is interesting, at least to me, to see that that isn’t always a bad thing and had created some interesting pages which I don’t think I would have done otherwise.

I did say, at the end of my part two post, that I was going to carry on my positive journaling and work in my junk journal. I have made a start on that, but for whatever reason, I am really struggling to work in that journal. I want to persevere with that, so I’ll keep trying, but I might end up just finding or making a new journal to work in. If I finish another art journal, I will be sure to show you another look through.
