journal

A few years ago, I noticed a new habit of doodling faerie folks who seemed to exude off of the page. They look very doodle-y but they have ‘presence’, at the same time. I don’t know if that comes across to anyone else, but it does for me so I find them interesting. They each have part of a story that they want me to tell ... Here are five of many.

Two girls I doodled some time ago, and now turned into these two pages in one of my journals

These are just a few of my own Handmade Journals I love to work in.

I try to do my Yoga Practice every morning, but I still am not as flexible and good as my little drawn Yogi's, ^_^.

This page, in one of my own handmade journals, I made after my surgery for Colon Cancer. And I get a lot of comfort from Yana, my sweet cat.

These ones are about my darkest, pathetic thoughts. I'm really sorry that they're Turkish again :(

Moments of reflection on scraps of paper.

Went to another city by train with lead time about 3 hours & sketched inside the train

This page includes a sketch I made pulled over on the road near Pontiac, IL, a shield I stamped using a stamp I carved (pretty crude , but still works!), and some stickers I had made of sketches of other things in the area.

I was travelling two weeks ago, the train moved fast, so the only thing outside the train stable enough to be sketched was the sky.

Love this little Seuss quote. I wear Chucks a lot, and have a habit of taking pics of them in the places I go....hence this drawing.

Ever have one of those days when you want to pull your hair out? Here it is in black and white! I was experimenting with white ink in a journal with black pages.

When I was working on my new bullet journal, a friend asked, "oh god, are you one of those people now?" Yes. Yes I am.

Quick line portrait in my journal as I spice it up to receive daily musings.

We wrapped up our trip with South of the Border, the schlockiest, most-borderline-offensive Mexican-themed South Carolina rest stop of all time. Then we hit Raleigh's art museum, and went home. The last few sketches of my sketchbook were me flipping through my photos and drawing a few favorite things I hadn't gotten to drawing yet. Thanks for traveling with me!
