Monday Mugshots Collaboration Oct. 15th

Hello, Bookers and Shooters!! If you're new here, you can take a moment to see how the prompts work this year by clicking HERE.
Shooters can share their pictures from this prompt on Facebook 10.21 
PROMPT: My Struggle. What is something you struggle with?
SHOOTERS: Shoot your mug all tied up. Use rope, twine, string...
BOOKERS: Use imagery or journal it. Let's do some misting today!

I used one of my heart shaped mugs (thanks, Amy!) and tied it up to symbolize the struggle of my heart when it gets tied up and tangled some days.

I had fun with this prompt and did a 2 page journal spread on not just one struggle but a few (lucky me eh??) haha I used some of the funky stamps from Viva Las VegaStamps! to show some of my struggles. Take the lady with an ax for instance, who hasn't felt like that before, am I right??

Lets do some misting today!
This page is all about texture and colors. The text is from a vintage bookpage. It has words I don't know the meaning of, but I like the sound when I read the words load. I also love how they look when glued to the background.
 
YOUR TURN!!

The rules
  1. Use all or just part of the prompts.
  2. MAKE THEM YOURS. These prompts are IDEAS. They are not set in stone. I encourage you to stretch yourself. If you find a prompt doesn't speak to you, think on it. Find a way to MAKE it speak to you, and go with that. 
  3. You do NOT have to be a coffee drinker to play along! Tea, Water, Beer or the Hard Stuff. WE DON'T CARE!! Make the prompts work for you and your mug. (or lack there of)
  4. There is NO right or wrong.
  5. Share your feedback positively. ABSOLUTELY no judging of what others share. (If I find that people aren't following this rule, I will remove links left by that person.)
  6. This is a place for you to explore! It doesn't matter if you've just gotten here in the middle of the year, or if you've gotten "behind" and don't create every day. It doesn't matter if you don't create at ALL... (although we'd love it if you do)  
  7. Add your link to what you book or shoot in the comments here for easy visiting and sharing!! Be sure to add a DIRECT LINK. (you can get this most times by clicking on the title of your post, and then copying the URL.) General links to websites will be deleted (because they make it hard for people to follow behind and find the post pertaining to this prompt) ALSO, links leading to posts that do not make it clear how they are related to the prompts will be removed. 
  8. If you would like to "officially" sign up to be listed in our participants list, visit the sign up page, by clicking on GOT BADGE at the top of the page. (this is one area where direct links are not needed!)

  2. This is my page:

    I struggle with insomnia, because the 'cogs in my head' keep on turning and turning and they seem to go faster when I want to sleep.
    I tied my mug with ribbons, because the look is softer than with ropes.
    As I don't have misters I used distress inks.
