It's been a while since I've shared any of my journal pages - and I've been adding pages to my current journal like crazy recently - I'm a big fan of documenting and getting feelings out of my head and on to paper and all the changes that have been happening here lately have been a catalyst for that.
For anyone interested, I make my own journals from jiffy bigs (padded envelopes) cut open along one side and unstuck at the top and bottom. The pages are constructed from modified birthday cards, envelopes, fliers, scrap paper, either masking taped, stitched, glued or stapled into the fold of the jiffy bag, creating a book that I can add pages to, as and when I need to.
"…reality is sometimes better than my imagination."
It's mainly text-filled, I have heaps of sketchbooks full of drawings and doodles - this is just a place for me to keep my thoughts.
It's mainly filled with reminders of what makes life good and small, scrawled moments of terror and panic. Diaries, don't you just love them?! ;)
Feel free to comment, but please remember these are my thoughts and emotions, try not to judge them too harshly.

Your art is so beautiful and inspiring, I know how you feel, I like to express how I feel with art. Your typography is so awesome too! :)

Hello you...
ReplyDeleteI am all over your blog today. I am missing blogging a lot, but get very happy when I am inspired by other bloggers...like this post from you! Lush journal. I have just started one - hand built like this...so much fun and less 'stressful' than a bought book. Thank you for sharing your insights!
P.S did you get my postcard with new address? love N x x
