It's almost here: 2010!
For reasons I don't even know, I set my sights on owning a real Moleskine 2010 daily planner this year.
When it arrived, again for reasons I don't even know, I made a decision to "decorate" every spread. Not necessarily every page, but at least every spread.
"Decorating" could be any sketch in any medium that worked well on the thin paper, collage elements, zentangling or other forms of patterned drawing or just about anything else. The only limitations were that I would need to preserve some space for scheduled client sessions and activities and the pages would still have to fit and turn easily because it was, after all, my official planner for the year.
I'm loving this venture! I've lost all sense of professional decorum as the pages fill up with FedEx stickers found on my door, expanded rubber stamp art, newspaper clippings and individual words that could mean anything (like the WHY I snipped from a larger text) and, of course, drawings of my three dogs.
Love the Moleskin 2010 calendar idea...and many congratulations on your 300 posts! I took a journey back through them this morning, and saw such an amazing array of techniques, styles, and subjects - so rich and full. Complimenti.
ReplyDeleteJob well done for 300 posts in 2009! That's an accomplishment. It's clear art is part of your life, something we all strive for. Keep it up, and I'll be checking on you in 2010.
