The Doodlicious Tapebound Journal

I made it home late Monday night

and yesterday morning the first thing I unpacked,

well the first thing I unpacked was my toothbrush the night before,

but the first thing I unpacked yesterday morning was my doodle journal.

This is the journal we made at Handmade U with Dawn DeVries Sokol.

I don't know what it is about this particular journal,

because you know I have a gajillion art journals,

but this one,

I just cannot stop playing in it.

 

I think I mentioned before that this journal is made out of

cardboard and scraps of paper

and the whole thing is bound with tape.

 

Let's just pause a moment and think about tape.

Ahhhhh.

Tape.

{this page may get my attention next}
 

I also mentioned that we had time to work in it

and that Dawn gave us a few prompts.

A few of these doodles are the end result of some of those prompts.

 

I am somewhat obsessing right now over drawing with a black pen.

Specifically, drawing with a black pen in this book.

I don't know what it is about it,

but probably well over 50% of my day, if I'm not actually working within it,

I'm thinking about it.

Thinking about making black marks in this lovely, little book of mine.
