This was a test to see if I could do at least a little "extreme visual journaling" digitally - which I've never been able to do because digital gives me too much ability to redo work. But I've come up with a way to duplicate some aspects of visual journaling.

a) create base paper, paste candle image (prompt was illumination)
b) in patches, add two layers of text (from Tony Small's song* "The Welcome," the chorus of which is about the custom of leaving candles in windows to alert travelers that a home was ready to welcome them). Mask out one layer and randomly paint some words in that layer back in. Examine what got highighted enough to read.
c) pick a random tarot card, find public domain image of it and add it to LO
d) mull over b and c to see if anything spoke to me
