Exceed your Borders Page

I used one of the gelli plate printed papers I showed you yesterday as the starting point for The Documented Life 2015 page this week. Our theme for March remains: Doodles and Mark Making. The Art Challenge for this week is: Borders. And the Journal Prompt: Borderline feels like I'm losing my mind. 

To make the borders I used some of my ever growing collection of washi tapes to decorate two sides of my page making them all different lengths. After that I started a marathon session of doodling along and inside all the various features of my page which included stencils by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer (the leaves) and by Stencil Girl (the circular shape you see just above). 

 And in more detail here.

The original quotation I was thinking of, used the word "limits" instead of "borders" but I liked the adaptation and wrote it on masking tape using my own handwriting and then added it to the page. I'm well in touch with where my borders are but that doesn't seem to stop me going over them! Although never so far that I feel I'm losing my mind.
