Necessary Objects
Hi All!
This is my first Art Journal challenge, and I am totally amped! I’ve been a scrapbooker for eight years and a journal-keeper for life. I’m a writer—journalist and novelist—and I think because my “day” job is in black-and-white, I’m craving to create in color. Finding a way to bring all my loves together is a dream come true.
I’m intimidated by what I’ve seen already from you all! My “necessary objects” here look very bare:
It cracks me up to look at this picture because I am the least simple person in the world… full of contradictions and oxymorons. Complicated is my middle name! But when it comes to creating an art journal, I’m taking Shimelle at her word, that all I really need is my book (one I’ve been working in for a while now) and a pen. I have a craft room full of various other supplies that I’m looking forward to tapping into, but I’m starting small.
Here are the facts: Mom to three (8, 5, 16 months) in Northern California. Soon-to-be-37. I drink too much caffeine, I stay up too late at night, I spend too much money on craft supplies and yarn. But I’m pretty much the happiest person I know, so go figure.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
