Color Shower

Okay, this journal has yet again taken my out of my comfort zone. Yesterday, I went to Michael's and picked up some cheapy paints and brushes to play with, even though I've never painted anything more than a wall so very much not a medium I'm comfy with. But I got them and decided to use them for this page:


Color This Entire Page

The colors are a little better in person - more soft and minty - but this still give you a good idea of it. Anyway, lots of fun painting - I'm gonna have to use the paints in the journal more!

I also did another page in the journal today.


Bring This Book In The Shower With You

I didn't flip through the book while showering (like Dan wanted me to do) but I did my normal shower routine while the book was in a less-than-safe-from-soap-and-water location. Several pages got wet, including my lovely glue drawing. Also, the ink on a few other pages I've done (including the office supplies page) bled a little, and I actually think it added to the loveliness of that page.

Though, if I am to "work against my better judgment", I think I'm going to have to tear up one of my completed pages since getting the glue drawing page wet made me sad. Kind of misses the point of well, wrecking the journal if I'm going to be sad when something in it gets messed up!

It gets wet it in the shower and who wants to do that to a book? Well, a book you aren't supposed to destroy. :) Of course, who in their right mind would draw with glue, but I did that, too.

It's got lots of weird directions in it. Throw it at a wall, go for a walk while dragging the journal behind you, wash a page with your laundry (my washer ate my page for that but I have pictures - sort of - to post later)... It's weird, but fun! :)
