Journal

I think I completed two pages of a journal...a long time ago.  Then Suzi mentioned something about a journal...travelling around and ending up in a museum.  So I checked it out, paid the money and I've been racing to get it finished now before the deadline, Jan 15, 2011.  At first I was sorry that I had taken it on, but now I believe it's been one of the best things I've taken on.  I know it's not my best work...I'm probably not going to finish the entire journal, the way I would like to, but I've learned so much and it's becoming one of my passions.  It's such a great way to grow, experiment and learn about yourself.  Not to mention becoming addicted, in a great way, to things like ink.  I didn't know how much fun drawing in pen and ink could be.  I am so looking forward to creating journals from now on!

Here are a few pages...

These are awesome!!! Maybe next year I'll take time to do this. I read your comment about your nephew being a Cleveland Brown. You must tell me more. My husband AND my son would be so interested--they are true die-hard fans.

Love your ink work Deb. I too, have a journal for the project. I have been very slow to work on it, and now with the holidays - eeek, what spare time? I'm betting that I will be working in a frenzy after Jan 1 to meet the deadline. Good for you & your discipline - the work looks great!
