Sometimes I feel as I'm hoarding input, input, input... like a hamster. Even if my head is already full of ideas, I'm collecting more and more ideas. I've got so many ideas in my brain... and than I'm thinking and thinking and thinking... "Where should I begin? Which idea should I realize first, which idea I should give up? " ...and than I bring off such a small output. Like hamster droppings. (If I compare the output with the huge ideas pool in my head).
This is a journal page I did at night, after my studio open house. I was so happy and feeling like everything was finally falling into place.
More watercolor play, and some pastel pencil on the blue flower and the stems/leaves. Pitt pen for journaling.
Caitlin and I watched television from the master bed as we sketched together in our books... skimming through magazines looking for images that inspired us. It was raining outside, and we totally enjoyed being lazy, lounge-lizards.
This was a strawberry that I saw in my Real Simple magazine. Voila! A real simple sketch. :) Oooops, I just realized I put the incorrect date down on the page... duh! I'll have to change it in my book.
Pencil and watercolor pencils in my small Moleskine.
Art Journal layout encouraging me to visualize things changing in my life and making those changes happen.
