I have wandered onto so many artist's blogs that feature their journal pages that I thought maybe I should try it. I love doodling and I have about 10 sketch books that I go in and out of never adding much color to any of the pages. In the airport on the way to China I bought a moleskin journal and decided I was going to try jotting down all my random thoughts, doodles, prayers, color combinations, books I'm reading and what ever else tickles my fancy. Ohhhh, I can't tell you how much fun this is. I can see why this is something that other artists treasure! And what a wonderful gift to hand down to my children. You will be hearing more on this subject I'm sure.
I did find this fun gal on YouTube that does some journal tutorials.
LOVE IT! I've watched a couple of those youtube vids you were talking about. They are really cool.

Wowsa...fabulous journal entry!!! I keep thinking I'll sit down with my journal and colorize it, but for now I'm doing as good as I can with a plain old pencil. At least the thoughts are there! Lovin' those youtube artsy videos as well...so much talent and inspiration there!

So funny...in my last blog, I mentioned how much I am NOT a diary kind of gal and how I always seem to abandon it on my night stand, empty. Well yours rocks! I never thought of adding color to it or doodles, that might make it a little more fun. Now I'll have to check out those Utubes. Thanks for sharing.

Okay so you inspired me to create art just to create art. I started a sketch book and started just cutting out pictures (remember in school we had to do this?) and creating just to create. No deadline, no request, no special order - not "important client needs this yesterday". It is really re-freshing, exhilerating and sort of tough! Thanks for the inspiration!

У диктатора должна быть некая мистическая притягательная сила, благодаря которой его последователи впадают в своего рода религиозный восторг. Он должен обладать неким магнетизмом, чтобы они считали за честь отдать за него жизнь. Они должны чувствовать, что в служении ему их жизнь обретает величие.
