Continuing on
I realise I have not posted an image as yet but it is the pipe line. I’ve taken this first week to really think about the whys the whats and who’s of joining this challenge. Plus working out the nitty gritty of the journal makeup which has meant waste bin has been filled, pencil ends chewed and disgust at my efforts visted but not embraced.
I am approaching this challenge for myself like so many others here and wrote a little about that in my weBlog today. I said –
“I have no burning desire or need to explore the who and what of me because I already am well and truly involved with that, I do not need to free up my inner child or any such thing as she has rarely sat down let alone been locked up. I probably could do with some lessons in being an adult but find myself asking Why? in that tone that all three year olds hone to perfection and know that in reality for me at least having an adult approach to life does not mean gagging or tying the child rather it is adding the experience of a life lived to the outstretched hands of that child and watching them dance not buckle under the weight.
However, I do know that watching, listening and learning from other travellers is one of the joys of being a pilgrim even though my interpretation and instigation of the insights, skills and understanding I may find in the interaction are often executed in some far off tangent where similarity is not the word that comes to mind. ”

The box has won out as the basis for my journal. I am going to use only materials I can find at home or in the immediate environment for free but that is not as limiting as it might seem as I have paper, card and all manner of mark making equipment on shelves and in drawers. I have almost completed the first ‘element’ that will be ‘housed’ in the box.
As I use one of my weBlogs to chart thoughts and ideas of the creative kind I will create a photo album of the process and completed elements of this challenge over the weeks I am engaged in it. My pace is probably not in sinc with the speed that some people produce here nor the weekly idea sheets but I enrolled in the challenge because I was aware Shimelle is happy for her ‘classes’ to be used as the pupil wishes not as she dictates or some outside force says is correct.
Thanks to everyone who has posted, such creativity and fearlessness:0)
