I am lagging behind with my journal pages as I have been busy with other things but I will hopefully catch up soon.  This is for week 11 Scary, to include:

• what makes you scared – list your top 5
• use a scary colour on your background
• use paint to stamp with

In real life this actually looks quite bright yet dark IYKWIM but this photo makes it appear rather washed out (is it because I have used a black backdrop?)
What is the difference between being worried about things and being scared?  I worry about many things including the health and well being of my nearest and dearest, my own health, getting old and what the future has in store for me.  Loads of things make me anxious and nervous like going to the dentist, being trapped in a confined space, flying, public speaking but these I can confront or avoid where possible. But I think the things that are most scary are the ones we have less control over: nuclear war, biological war, destruction of our planet, and more personally – crime, and being buried alive.  Superbugs/resistant bugs are pretty scary too but the list will get longer and longer if I don’t stop there.     I drew the Scream (original by Edvard Munch).
