Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about life in general, and the biggest conclusion I've come to is that I'm scared of a lot of things. And when it comes to art, I'm petrified of showing anyone anything because I never think it's "good enough."
So, as I told you earlier, I'm going to take part in The Sketchbook Project. But it will be a few weeks before I can order the sketchbook. So when I stumbled across Journaling in July, I realized it would be the perfect warm-up.
I'm trying to decide what sort of book I'm going to use. I do have a blank, medium-sized journal that would probably do nicely. The paper is a little thin, but maybe I could toughen it up with paint, or glue something in, or ...?
I think I'll try a variety of things, from sketching, to painting, to digital. But I'm going to try to keep a balance, and not rely on the digital too much.
Anyone else interested in journaling too?

Hey, welcome aboard the journaling project!
I journal in a readers digest collection of short stories from the 1950's (I'll tell everyone all about how difficult it was for me to take the first steps to 'ruining' a book soon) and my pages are very flimsy. What I do to make the more sturdy is glue two pages together. :)
Hope that helps with you book choice!
Thanks, Danni! I'll give it a try! Looking forward to this!
