This is a set of 5 over-sized postcards of some of my visual journal pages. Each glossy postcard represents a journal spread, and is 8.5" x 5.5". The printing quality is so good, you can read my writing and feel what I was feeling when I created the journal page. Keep it for yourself for art inspiration, or mail it. The back is blank, except for my information, so you can write a note and address it.
This is the journal entry for a visit to Why Not Junction that goes with the sketched passport from earlier this month! Passport: flic.kr/p/2qmjwz4
A journal made for the Brooklyn Library 2022 Sketchbook Time Capsule project. The journals of 1000 participants will be buried and not opened until 2072 -- 50 years! That's why they are so small. I made the 1st 3 pages yesterday. Hopefully, I'll have enough birds to fill the 14pp.
it's been a chilly grey day, but I'm enjoying a quiet afternoon home with the catgirls, me grading papers and them sleeping -- plus taking some time out to scribble in my journal now and then...

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Wallace Stevens
I
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the blackbird.
II
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three blackbirds.
III
The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.
It was a small part of the pantomime.
IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a blackbird
Are one.
V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
VI
Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the blackbird
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.
VII
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the blackbird
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?
VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the blackbird is involved
In what I know.
IX
When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.
X
At the sight of blackbirds
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.
XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For blackbirds.
XII
The river is moving.
The blackbird must be flying.
XIII
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

This icy white journal has some interesting stitching - I'd seen some "French" stitching for regular hardbound books and thought it would be really nice to have it visible on the outside of the spine. Attaching the covers was the trickiest part because I didn't want to disrupt the crossed stitch ladder effect on the spine.

"Take this
this gambit
and show me
something good can win
These days they turn
they turn...
but the messengers are all silent today
and the only sounds are the waves
so i take this little bucket of mine
and prepare to empty the sea
Today
there are no winners"
