DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?

In 2011 I bought myself a sketch book.  Not to start a journal but just to put in pictures of things that I found to be colourful and inspiring.



But then I started putting in pictures of things I had made.


And ideas for projects.








And then I started doodling/drawing.  Experimenting mainly with colour and pattern.






Oh and I seemed to draw lots of flowers.














I did this one last night.  The inspiration was the patterns on vintage sheets.  Still deciding whether to get out the pencils and do some colouring in.


And my little one added in his artistic expression too.


Anyway I don't profess to be a wonderful artist or anything like that.  But I find this book enjoyable and fun and I keep adding to it whenever inspiration strikes so I guess it is a kind of journal.

  2. It is so lovely to see your journey and evolution through your scrap book/journal - and the additions from your little one. It will be a great diary to look back on in years to come. It is lovely to see, thank you! xx
