Catchup...

Well, I have a bit of catchup to do.  I'm getting to the point where I will be creating new things for the Daily Paper Prompts because I didn't do them all last year; and there are a couple I skipped last year.

One of them was "Creative Reading".  I guess that this time last year I didn't have many books on journaling, or zentangles, or just creating.  I have increased my library a bit and the four books pictures are just a few.  I was introduced to "Journal Fodder" by Eric Scott and David Modler by Emily.  She was lucky to have been able to take a workshop with these authors.  I have skimmed the book, but beginning in August I decided that I was going to work through some of their prompts - and some of them have been shown on the blog already.

Zentangle Untangled by Kass Hall, was given to me by my husband and was my first zentangle book.  I have a couple more now!

"Raw Art Journaling" by Quinn McDonald has some interesting ideas.  I haven't delved into it very far yet.

"Art Journal Freedom" by Dina Wakley has pages marked for me to refer to - It has lessons and then little assignments too.

So that's were I get some of my inspiration and where I get to learn new things.  That's in addition to the blogs I follow and the challenges there.  I am a sucker for challenges!

Daily paper prompt #31 was "finishing".  Well, I started this a week ago and finished it tonight.  There are a couple of other things I've started and not finished yet - but this is the most recent.  

Daily Paper Prompt #32 was "invent a font".  

The Tangents and Tactics I completed here is "Beach Umbrella" - I followed Tammy's tutorial and filled in the spaces with words ----and invented a new font as I went.  I love doing this little doodle so I just added it to my letters.

I'll do the Beach umbrella technique again - and share some photos.

Until then,

Create something new everyday…..or do your best - 'cause sometimes life happens and gets in the way.
