 What I've been up to in the last couple of years:

Trying to age gracefully...not really succeeding there!

Journaling every day in my little Hobonichi English Planner. (A6) Lots of life changes, births and deaths, check-ups, every-day mundane stuff. Still hanging in there!












Again, as in most years, my A6 Hobonichi is getting pretty chunky, and a little more difficult to write in. Time to look for something the right thickness to put under the right side of the planner to even out the levels that I'm writing on! In the above photos, I've used Micron pen (.02) watercolors, Washi tape and a variety of painted papers for collage.

It was really awesome to finally get to attend a workshop at Running Rabbit Studio in MI, with Ingrid Dijkers! I have followed her blog, artwork, and journals for years. Her studio was amazing, she was so welcoming and the class was SO much fun. Highly recommend!! 

Keep making art my friends!
