Musical Musings July 15th
Hello, and welcome to another PROMPT!! This song is near and dear to my heart... I've always loved it.
THE PROMPT: Broken
THE SONG: Mama's Arms by Joshua Kadison
Written Lyrics HERE
PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: Kisses
I wasn't able to find the song on Project Playlist, so I've added the You Tube video I found of it here for you to listen to.
GLENDA
For this journal page I did a lot of stamping and I used lyrics from the song.
SUSAN
I loved this prompt & wish I had time to make another page because the words of the song really spoke to me too. But I've been dying to use up this old broken mirror I'd kept around and this seemed like the perfect page to use it for. You can't really tell here but when I look at the page I see two separate images of myself in the broken pieces. I wrote on it with a paint pen and the background is made with torn bits of paper and watercolors. I journaled on how I feel broken & defective sometimes but how God is healing all of that for me.
MARIT
Marit created her page a little later... she posted about it HERE and HERE on her blog. This is her page. :) I really hope you go and visit her posts about this prompt, because I want all of you to realize that the prompts really ARE about you and your process... and that sometimes, you have to allow them to sit. Sometimes, you have to do something to make them YOURS. If that means waiting to finish them... or keeping out a part of the prompt... or digging into a part of yourself you don't often visit... whatever. You MUST make them about something YOU are inspired to create.

A beautiful heartfelt song and your journal page did it justice, also beautiful and heatfelt. I can't read the fine print but from what I see your pages are not sad they are full of hope for the future. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI don't like the song much (again!), sorry! But I do like the idea of Mama kissing it better - if you know what I mean? Anyway, my entry is on my blog:
