Bookbinding Adventures
These books were exchanged for paintings made by a friend. I am in the process of making my first handmade journals. I’ve enjoyed writing in books I’ve made for other projects, and I figured it was time to make a journal that I would write in every day. At the antique store I found two old keys that will also be included in the journal’s design.
The Sketchbook Project
I have decided to participate in The Sketchbook Project. My sketchbook has arrived in the mail, and now I’m working on what story I want to tell and illustrate. If you’re interested in participating, click here for more information.
Art Journal–March
Inspired by “No Excuses Art Journaling: Making Time for Creativity” by Gina Rossi Armfield, I made these for March. Can you find the four-leaf clover?
And I went to The Cleveland Museum of Art and made some sketches and my usual ekphrasis.
Every Year Gets Closer
Check out this article by Matt Bell, author of “In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods,” “Cataclysm Baby,” and “How They Were Found.”
Journal Complete!
I have finished my 14th writing journal. After I use my 15th, I will write in a journal that I bound myself.
Daily Writing, Daily Art
I’ve written every day for three years now. I want to do more with my time everyday, like poetry, fiction, and art. So I’ve decided to try to make a habit of writing poetry daily, writing fiction daily, and making art daily. I’ve missed two days so far sick with a cold, but here’s to making The Daily Writing, Daily Art a habit.
