June art journal page ~ books

About the prompt for this art journal page ''books''.
When a certain group have the urge to write a lot, they will end up writing more lies than truth. In fact, someone only has the urge to write a lot when all he has to write is lies.

These books are not about full truth, so these are empty books...blank pages, which is almost ALL books. One of these scientist said to a journalist: ''To rewrite that what is written, is to burn all libraries''. Unless you fall for the deceptions and live by it. That makes that you choose to live a lie based on lies!

I prefer to work with matte acrylic paints. Van bleijswijck acrylic paints are matte acrylic paints and they are a lot cheaper than the Marabu decormatt brand. The differences in price and quantity is huge! Van bleijswijck gesso primer is also matte, which is fine when adding other layers of paints.

Spring

Welcome Spring, bring us your warmth and signs of real life😇

My card is whymsical with a cute little dear in nature enjoying a blooming flower on it. It is clearly Spring! And the SUN is shining inside of the card, giving a flower what it needs, which is life.

The little dear is cut at 2.75" using the give a hoot cartridge. I received the die cut border with tree a long time ago as a gift from a swapper.

Garden meditation day…

I don't celebrate any of these holidays. 'Garden meditation day' is just a prompt for this art journal page.

Meditation is letting go of all thoughts, concerns, worries, lies, deception, the past and focusing on just one thing...in this case, what I'm doing in my garden as part of Great Mother Earth as part of the Universe as being a child of the Creator directly from Source. To help correct what the wicked ones did to the different creations; it is is witnessed and experienced by Mother Earth, the trees and the animals and the sky. Truth will be unveiled!

I have a tomato plant still going on from 2018, so I think and hope she'll bare tomatoes this Summer. Another seedling is doing her best and I hope she'll make it so I can enjoy some sweet tomatoes although I didn't sow any this year.
I did sow fruit seeds, so I wonder if they'll come and ever give fruits. I have granate, fransman birambi, mandarin, longanan, lichee. I think they'll make it and give fruits in a couple of years.

I also planted a couple of roots of chinese spinach. And I see some baby leaves already, so fingers crossed😊

I have a lot of plants in my garden; most medicinal herbs and trees. I am working on a long term project, so I will have to see how this garden and my project goes.
