Jeudi Journal - Trust

"The Only Person I Trust is Me and Even that's Iffy" is another of Wendy's chosen quotes and another one on which I pondered for a while.  

Having done a background in yellows and oranges (Distress Inks again) - because they are easiest - I was stuck and that is probably why the background got left and nothing was added.  Yes, I know there are some leaves stencilled down one side but they came just before the figures were added out of sheer desperation.

Eventually I decided to use one of the bigger heads that I find it impossible to use with a body because it has hands somewhere near the face, with a few of the smallest figures I have surrounding it but how to show that the central figure does not trust others?  Oh heck, some of these quotes are difficult to use.  In the end I thought of using the word "Trust" above the main head and saying "no" by the other figures - ie 'Trust' is the topic and 'no' by each figure means 'no trust'.

Guess what?  I actually have the words for this journal page - at last, I have some words to fit a page and don't have to type them out myself.  Hooray, it was a definite bonus for me.
