And the sketches they contain are to hep me remember what I want to make, not to show off as art.Kat Campauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200655105022888817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-7338697479428573002012-01-06T23:00:25.986-05:002012-01-06T23:00:25.986-05:00I have also kept a written journal since 1995, but...I have also kept a written journal since 1995, but I have never ventured into art journaling. I think this will be the year that I keep a sketch journal. I want to practice drawing. Your new journal is beautiful. My brother made me a fountain pen for Christmas out of olive wood. I think I can write beautiful words now, because of the pen - lol!Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367949314724875797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-50257226817098537492012-01-06T17:08:57.195-05:002012-01-06T17:08:57.195-05:00Impressive book, looks strong enough to take every...Impressive book, looks strong enough to take everything you can throw at it.janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338339737871387437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-37539058649617855322012-01-06T13:32:48.171-05:002012-01-06T13:32:48.171-05:00My high school art teacher required her students k...My high school art teacher required her students keep a sketchbook: my first lesson in Draw Something, Anything. Now I feel naked without it. Yes, mine too looks very different from those on-line. Lots of wandering and thinking.

I have so little time to make my art, an elaborate journal is an irritating idea. <br /><br />Thanks, Lynn. Your journal itself is beautiful - enjoy your time with it!Thea Beleczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987139441091333949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-57698221827693871722012-01-06T10:36:19.170-05:002012-01-06T10:36:19.170-05:00I think sometimes the current art journal craze is...I think sometimes the current art journal craze is too much about finished product and less about learning and exploring. Those that keep it going for years use it as a tool, it is obvious from your work you are ever learning, ever progressing.Leannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386016138744317608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-66491294804264678992012-01-06T10:24:32.867-05:002012-01-06T10:24:32.867-05:00I, too, am fasinated by the art journal epidemic. ...I, too, am fasinated by the art journal epidemic. I have been keeping a journal forever in a large spiral bound sketchbook. It has everything from to do lists to drawings to floor plans for my studio. I am trying to get enthused by all the colored and stenciled and modified backgrounds to dash a few words on. but I cannot. I have so little time to make the art I want to make that it seems a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
