AEDM & NaNoWriMo Day 25

Today's AEDM is a quick art journal page:
This page was purely about getting messy. I used every wet media & scrap in arms reach, not caring about the outcome, I just needed to get some feeling out.
Linking this today with Paint Party Friday.
My glaze finally came so I have been sealing all those paper beads I made earlier in the month:
Adding glitter and other things like silver flakes, which you can see on the loose beads above, here's a close up:
Day 24's final word count for NaNoWriMo was: 4,150

My Nano stat's were telling me yesterday:

Your Average Per Day: 1,430 
Words Written Today: 4,150 
Target Word Count: 50,000
Target Average Words Per Day: 1,667
Total Words Written: 34,335 
Words Remaining: 15,665
Current Day: 24 
Days Remaining: 7
At This Rate You Will Finish On: December 4, 2011
Words Per Day To Finish On Time: 2,238

2 days ago it was telling me I was under a thousand words a day & would finish Dec 17th or have to write three and a half thousand a day or something to finish on time. So I'm actually pretty chuffed how it's turned around. I can do this, easy!

  10. I'm loving the beads and the journal work!

    I love doing art as emotional expression/therapy. I can't do that so much with jewelry, but with painting, it's so freeing. And who doesn't love a little creative chaos every now and then? :)

  12. I love your paper beads. You make me want to grab my stash of beads and work on them again... perhaps embellishing as you have done!

    I also enjoy "circumstances sometimes suck, life never does"... oh, I feel that on some days... thank you for the reminder!
