Oh! my new Sketch book came today!!! They ARE great for Sweet Trash! I wish I had started it in January, but that is ok, 1 in a composition book is fine, but man do I love this SO much!!!
I love this size of this book, I just cut some of the margin out of the page and can glue the entire PDF for the class inside, there is room for notes, I can sketch in it if I want to. I love the feel of it. I cannot do watercolor in it but this is for sweet trash...with all my feelings and notes. It just made me happy today! The other item that came was my new Tarot deck Crow Tarot. I love the imagery but the Starman is still my go-to deck right now05/100 of 100 Days Project, and a screw up with my pen when I was making the circle...but it is what it is...and I am moving on.
05/100 of 100 Days Project, and a screw up with my pen when I was making the circle...but it is what it is...and I am moving on. I am using the sparkly watercolors. Maybe I will actually have a decent one by the time the 100 days are over!
I was working in my journal today and trying to just let it be ugly, you know, how art has to go through ugly stages to get to where you want it to be? I am there right now. Lots of more work to do on it but I am glad I am back to working in my journal. What I am loving about this process is the doing of the work, not questioning the outcome, just getting the paint to go where I want it to, layering the work, being PATIENT which I am not very good at and letting it dry and being consistent in my process. I put together an art journal play list of some music and just hit this morning. I am getting more comfortable in how I want to approach the process.
Today on my walk we saw a few deer, they were across the street, but I love seeing them. We live on a relatively flat street and no traffic. It is a great walking street and lots of people who live here have dogs and so its a great dog walking street! It is about a mile long if we do the entire street. And I love hearing the birds, the quiet and seeing the wild life. This time of year we can hear the frogs singing. I am at peace where I live. It is a nice contrast to my before life.

Lets hope I can get some sleep because first thing in the morning is my FIRST 5K!
I spent most of today Binge watching Sabrina Season 2 on Netflix....I love to binge but hate when it is over!
I'm blogging along with Effy Wild in April. If you'd like to join the Facebook group to read the rules, go here!
I am so glad you posted this and said you couldn't watercolour in it as I was really pondering this as my new sweet trash but I really want to be able to watercolour in it.

oooh, the book sounds fantastic! I work with really small books right now, I guess I need to build up to bigger ones. I love the art! Good luck with the walk!

Rachel, It is a wonderful book for Sweet Trash and doodles, notes on the classes. If you want to watercolor, maybe lightly, or use watercolor ground on the pages first but that is a pain in the butt! I did that all last year for my 100 day project and it messed up my results.
Kimi, I was in small books until a couple of years ago and I love them now. Thanks for the luck for this morning! I need it! I was so nervous I didn't sleep last night! Dumb
