This started out as an embroidery piece with rows of machine stitching & couched yarns. It was cut into squares and re assembled. The blue rectangle was applied after - it's made of friendly plastic & tangle tuft.
I'm aiming at doing 2 journals each month, so that's it for April.

I glued down a page sized magazine picture in my journal. I sponged acrylic paint (with water) to create the mist around her head. I drew some thick black and white lines to represent the scattering of my dream. The word 'dream' is made of bakery twine, stitched on the page.
I finished to write into the pocket size, I'm going to star to regular size notebook (Little Prince edition).

This week's word was Disclosure, the dictionary's definition for the word is the action of making new or secret information known, right after reading this I really focused on the secret part of the definition, and what immediately came to mind was a journal. Journals are where you can write your feelings and tell secrets that you wouldn't be able to trust another person with. You can never know for sure that the person you tell your secrets to won't disclose the information you just told them, but with a journal you can write down everything you feel and not have to worry about anybody else finding out. That is why my photo I chose to make my subject the black journal.
After deciding to do this I needed a journal, I found a little black notebook in one of my drawers that was perfect because when I think of journals my mind makes a picture of a little black notebook. I don't know how to write cursive so I asked my dad to write "My Journal" on the page, after taking a few photos of that at various angles I asked him to write "You won't believe this..." just to add more writing to it and to add a dramatic affect to the photo. I put the notebook on my white desk so there could be a contrast between the black of the book and the white of the table. Then I put my lamp over the notebook to create an affect to make it look like night or that the person had just written it. I put the pen in so that it looked like the person was about to continue writing, I was using these little details to create a story or a setting. I moved the light in many different ways and I liked this position the best because it created a spotlight type effect. I like the line the light makes. I hope you like my photo! :)

A blank journal I bought at W.H. Smith for £5.00.
It is my DIY Bible. I'm not hand copying the Bible, no. I'm writing down all the things I believe, all the things that inspire me, etc. For example, there's a Robert Frost poem in there, quotes from the Bible, the Charge of the Star Goddess (Wiccan scripture, basically), and a couple of quotes, right now.
I'm going to be adding more quotes, poems, words of wisdom, spiritual wisdom, meditations, yoga poses, and even "knitting meditations"!
I love this book, it is so perfect in every way, though I admit the cover is sort of annoying because that black part is not black, it's silver overlay. And the silver keeps wearing off, even if nothing bumps it. So right now it's covered with a makeshift little printer-paper book cover that I decorated. I'll come up with better, later :)

this is a journal that i made during the sue bleiweiss online journal class, week three.
Harvard's Lehman Hall, which is in the southwest corner of the Old Yard, faces Harvard Square.
In front of it (with the "Harvard Square" sign) is Out-of-Town News, a newstand where I spent hundreds of dollars in the Sixties, buying everything from Playboy to Stern (the German magazine) to Sight & Sound (the journal of the British Film Institute). On the left is Dimitri Hadzi's sculpture called "Omphalos" (meaning "navel" or "center").
The Golden brand fiber paste used on the background adds a lot of texture, more than regular texture paste in my opinion.
Drawing practice in my art journal, using Sharpie Marker Pen, Fine point. This image was inspired by a design found in the book "Draw 500 Fabulous Flowers" by Lisa Congdon.
Two different days...
Two different Doctors...both on time...
Two locations on opposites sides of the valley...
Two weeks apart.
Two sketches...one journal spread...
Spending too much time waiting?
NOPE...
just not getting enough waiting time to sketch! :)
