Thursday journal with Neet

 'How old do I have to be before I have any idea what's going on'  are the words this week. 

To link it to Mia's theme on Art Journal Journey of Make your own background I have used Dylusion spray inks and a Dylusion stencil.

Susie was out with her favourite Aunty Betty, her Mum's sister and they were discussing the state of the world, the evil of some people, the greed for money, and global warming, amongst other things. Betty was very concerned about the youngsters growing up with the state the planet was heading into, but didn't't want to scare the poor girl. Betty stared telling her of the lovely people she dealt with in her job and all the good they were doing working with people who were struggling with illness and poverty.

"Perhaps you might like to do something to help people when you leave school" said Betty.

"Well I want to teach, which means I will go to university and get all the qualifications"  said Susie, I think that would  help people I suppose, I'm really not sure" 

"Yes of course it will, why aren't you sure" asked Betty.

"Well I'm not sure that I  have a full  understanding of today's world, how old do I have to be before I have any idea of what's going on." Susie asked.

That figure on the left really is an aunt Betty isn't she? I love how you bring current affairs into your stories.
Love the background for Mia's theme at AJJ and how you use a double spread in your smaller journal.
Great choices today Wendy.
Hugs and best wishes to the two or you,
Neet xx

Gosh, Wendy that might be me! I often wonder the same thing. I love the girls and their adorable outfits. And that stencil you chose makes a perfect background for Mia's theme at AJJ.

That's an interesting question, and who even understands the world these days?
Great story, and your characters are well-developed!

I like your background with that stencil Wendy, and of course, your characters are always great. I hope Susie doesn't let her lack of understanding put her off from teaching. :) Thanks for joining Mia's challenge again this week. and I hope the rest of your week is a good one too. hugs-Erika
