Art Journal

This is my first Art Journal and I plan to enter this to the "Hop To Stop" blog hop. I noticed the support provided is overwhelming http://damselofdistressedcards.blogspot.my/2015/10/the-hop-to-stop.html. For this project, instead of making cards, I decided to create an Art Journal. I am not really a card person actually.
The first thing my daughter noticed was the colour purple. she wondered why I had turned to doing purple all of a sudden. Well, Becca had the answer:

If you're wondering why everything (at least that's my hope) in the blogosphere is turning puple... there IS a reason - the Hop to Stop is here! 

You see, purple is the color of National Domestic Violence Awareness month. 

1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence over the course of their lifetimes. 

Let that sink in - 33% of all the women you meet. 

And women aren't the only people who are affected! Women, men, transgender - gender doesn't matter. Domestic violence is something that exists regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, religion, education level, etc.
