The same procedure as every year. Which journal shall I choose for next year?...
The Moleskine's and the CoolDiary's paper are lousy for ink and nib pens. (Look at the details). The Hobnichi Techo is great for ink an nib pens, but not for watercolors used with much water. Yes, I know. I'm searching for the jack of all trades device.
This is a journal page that I did tonight. It helped me decide what my next "30 Days" is going to be. Check my blog 6/30 for more info. www.TraciBunkers.com/blog

Being an American and being so despondent over the past 8 years of horrible leadership of our country, the inauguration of Barack Obama as our President was a very emotional day for me. This is my art journal page about the day and the historical event.
Like someone of you know I'm rather unhappy with the Moleskine's paper reduction in quality in the last years. I'm using the Pocket diary since 2001, but this year I decided to change. The paper has become a too poor quality now.
I made some tests with other notebooks and calendar books, but it was hard for me to decide where I should lay my focus on for my basis of decisionmaking.

At least I decided which criterias are important for me: I want a calendar, one page for each day, black cover, A6. The calendar print shouldn't be too obstrusive and the paper's quality should be better than the actual moleskine's paper quality.
Now I decided to use a teNeues Cool Diary from the next year on. I've had some good years with my Moleskines, but now it's time to separate. We'll see if the Cool Diary and I will make a good match.
I also flirted with the Letts Lecassa, but the lines in the calendar are too black.

I found a shopping list in Menton, France. My french is not good, but I could understand a few words of the list. (I translated the rest with google). I noticed that the list is very detailled, so I assume it was written from a woman for her husband. One point is "Olives du pays" what means "Olives from the region".
"Je ne trouve pas les olives du pays" means "I cannot find the regional olives".

I am excited about the increasing presence of 3d objects in my collage. I'm trying to build up enough courage to incorporate video and other digital elements in my collage. I'm getting there. For now I just need to focus on making art more regularly. :)
Also - these collages are impossible to scan and I am not good at photographing art.... that part sucks...
