I started thisproject a few days late but never mind.
I’ve never been one for starting my journals at page 1 and continuing until I reach the end. I’ve always opened them at any page and just carried on working in that way, a page here and a page there. This has already taught me something new, working in sequence can have benefits! The claiming my book exercise at the start of the book got me straight over that sinking, daunting feeling of a blank book. I’ve done similar exercises before but somewhere in the middle of the book!
The armour exercise was an interesting one for me, ignoring the martial aspects of the armour, I saw it as building a protective shell around what I think the most important part of being creative is… a brave heart.
Page 3 and 4, I was limited by the magazines I had on hand, so I probbly spent way too much time being picky about the pictures, collecting and saving them in order. So much so I missed the word “art”, and I seem to have ended with a very blue page rather by chance than design. I will be going back to the spread to add more drawing.
I’m not sure about the dolls, and if I’ll make those, we’ll see.
I like your armor. I didn’t choose the armor because I didn’t relate to the martial either, but I like your take on it.
I also chose the same colours for the background of the inchie squares…funny! I just checked your page after I uploaded pics of mine, and I had to laugh. Blue is such a soothing colour for me!
I’m happy you’ve joined in on the fun. Great soul armor. I too missed the word *ART* in the sampler. I was also focused on finding the right images. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
What a amazing armor page ! Nice work !

Thanks for the comments- its great seeing how everyone is tackling the project. We all seem to get something different from each post Sarah puts up there.

Thanks! Really funny. I wish i could spend my time on writing articles…just have no time for it.
I really like the book of pictures. The blue tinge adds to the charm.The fact that you took a great deal of time demonstrates that you care about your art and are very creative. I certainly enjoyed. Keep going it’s great! I look forward to more.
