Fake Journal Wrap Up

April is the month each year that I

create a Fake Journal.  Four months have passed

and I'm just now getting around to posting

a Wrap Up of this year's project.

Stop by my Fake Journal blog,

Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal to see

all of the images from this year's Fake

Journal, and my thoughts on the process.

I think Eccentric is fun,

don't you?

Eccentric Eyes

April is almost over...

Fake Me is almost done with

the Fake Journal 2018.

Stop by for a peek!

Hobonichi Drawings

This dahlia flower was only penciled-in

last week...

I love the loopy center petals that

aren't quite open.

Wonky coffee cups for my beverage

today -- to link up with Bleubeard and Elizabeth,

for T Tuesday.

Went to my first ever Urban Sketchers event

on Earth Day, at Bicentennial Park along the 

Scioto River in Columbus, Ohio.

Drawing buildings is a lot harder than I 

anticipated! It's a beautiful park, and finally

the weather cooperated and was warmer!

I did a pen and watercolor drawing in an

8 1/2 x 11 sketchbook, spent about 2 hrs on it.

This little sketch in my Hobonichi is 

about two inches high...

You can tell from the photo that the 

proportions of my sketch are off, but it's

a learning experience...

Having the photo to

compare to is helpful, and I could certainly

do another drawing from it if desired.

Still enjoying the flower prompts

of the Hobonichi Challenge 

this month...

I've also been journaling as someone else for

the month of April, over at my other blog

Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal.  Stop by

to see what's happening there.

Happy Tuesday!

If you counted twelve beverage cups

last week in my post, you were right!

Hobonichi Flowers and Snow

Flowers are blooming in my

Hobonichi planner this month.

But the actual weather in Ohio has

still been cold. Mother nature is fickle.

We are really tired of snow...

haha, ever find a mis-spelled word after the fact?! had to go
back and fix "April" in my Planner!

I'm working on another project this month:

International Fake Journal Month.

Stop by my Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal

to see what my fake character is

drawing.

Linking up with Bleubeard and Elizabeth

for T Tuesday. The vintage coffee cup is

a lot smaller than the mugs from which

 I usually drink my coffee and tea! 

What beverage are you drinking today?

Tuesday Tea and Techo

Showing some drawings in my 

Hobonichi Techo (planner) again.

Featuring some drawings of lamps,

because it's dark and rainy here in

Ohio today!  

The March Hobonichi Challenge was

 "Around the House."  Above, I've drawn our 

refrigerator which is covered with lots 

of photos, notes, and drawings by

 grandchildren, as I suspect

may be the case in other homes also.

By necessity it's simplified, as the 

drawing is about 1 1/2 inches high.

Our family enjoyed a very nice Easter

gathering and feast at my parents'

home. Always thankful when family

gets together. Loved the label from the

fresh pineapple that I bought for my

Easter fruit bowl! Maybe it's a bit 

weird to have Avengers on the page 

for Easter, but no stranger than Snow

on Easter!  Mother Nature had to 

'spring' an April Fool joke on us

I guess...

I hope you will visit my other blog,

Cottonwood Counterfeit Journal,

to follow along in April for my

Fake Journal this year!

Linking up for T Tuesday over at

Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog.

Stop by for a great tutorial about

rusting fabric!
