More from week 1 (offically 9)

so

So here is what ive done this week.I turned my endless line into a map, well work in progress.Ive got my white page in process to,my colour outside the lines in pretty basic and was the first thing i did.Um iv draw around all the stuff in my bag too, but maby ill do some more on that later.The picture with the purply spill is where i spilt in some (ok a lot) of red wine.it was so funny as i spilt it all over the table , floor and my sock but thats creativity 4 ya.Then i used the test page to test m y new travel watercolour set with.The next picture is after i pulled it through mud, fji:taking it for a walk.

Havent made the chain yet but iv coloured it in:).My circle page is pretty basic to.

This page is draing whilst in movement.It was a bit disapointing as out car was hardly wobbely but there you go.

Here iv riped the strips and done rubbings of a load of random stuff i found round the house, so hair pin, coins, scrapbooking chipboard designy things and loads more.

So in my poke holes page i did this put then turnred the holes into
a field of flowers.This is one of my fave pages.

I added loads of numbers to the number page.Coloured the materials
accoring to how much i like em, so green i really like em , orange middle or dont care and red hate.It was fun to do .Like that page to.And last but not least in burnt the page(had to tip water over it to put out fire but thats a hole new story..)and then rupped in the black ash onto the page.

Voila thats what iv done!!!!!

And yes i am gonna contiune after the book club on next chapter is over...

So keep ya eyes peeled...

Week 1 4 me week 9 offical : Wreck this journal

Here are some pics.

Day One: Wreck this journal

I have signed up on the next chapter, http://www.tnc-wreckthisjournal.blogspot.com/ .Which has wonderful links to inspiring blogs, by the way. I have already done quiet a bit and have taken some photos i acctully wanted to share with you , but im on holiday and my pieping camera wont fit the connection cable over here.So ill have to buy one or something. Instead i will show you the photos another time and give you a text on all my thoughts to wreck this journal.
Well i love this book.It is so amazingly fun to do, and i really think that it makes you think creativly.So for example the colour this entire page , you can do the obvios i.e. just use one colour to colour the whole page.Or you can coulour it in a nice pattern, do a whole drawing where every mm of the page is coverd. Or on the fruit sticker page, you can just stick em in or you can sort them accrording to which fruit they came from or you could draw fruit and then stick them on or you could stick em on and draw the fruit from which each sticker came from.Do you get my drift?It allows for so much creativity.
So if you are doing this project to have fun and be creative and if you dont go buy it.

"There are painters that transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who,
with the help of there intelligence,

What Crafts come on holiday?

Im guessing almost everybody is doing some kind of trip this summer.Wether its a long car journey , a 2 hour plain fllight or even just a short train journey.But have you ever caught your self dreaming about what crafty project you could be doing at home right now? I know i have.So thats why i thought id spill all my ideas on this subject.
So first of all you can of course just take a notepad and doodle the time away and plan your next craft project in it.Oh and no im not forgetting the ultimate traveling craft crochet and knitting.But to give you some ideas on what to crochet /knit why not get a headstart on making all those winter scarves and hats? Or mabey even mittens?Or you could simply knit squares and sew them together to make a blanket.Although please check with your airline if youre allowed to take knitting or crochet needles on the plain.But if knittin/crocheting is not your thing never fear.Do not leave your art journal at home!Oh and dont forget your artist Pitt pens so that you can spend all your time drawing waay.Your going on a long(very long) Journey?
Well then you may want to think about taking your travel watercolours kit , a paintbrush,watercolour paper, scissors (check before taking on a plain) and glue with you to.Craftypod has a great podcast on this subject by the way and there is for eg. The idea of making a lunchbox into crafty travel gear and that will come in very handy when you have to transport all your gear.http://www.craftypod.com/2006/07/14/craftypod-30-crafts-go-on-summer-vacation/.
Dont forget to bring your camera either, as im telling you there will be many times when youll regret it if you dont.
Some other lil mini crafts that are nice :
-collecting quotes, either just when you see good ones or one per day
-trying to find some kind of fabric every day and sewing it to a work of art

So thats about all iv got for you apart from these links:
CRAFT has this cool tutorial for a craft caddy:http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/07/car_craft_caddy.html
Theres the podcast:see above in text
