| Doodles from my notebook. |
 |
| More ideas from my notebook. |
 |
| Page ripped from Elle Decor Magazine, stapled in my notebook. |
 |
| My butterfly calendar, note the colors. |

| My copy of Rachel's book full of classic inspiration. |
Why keep an art notebook? I keep a note book to catalog inspiration and my doodles. Ideas and inspiration have a tendency to fly out the window and get lost as fast as they came. I document ideas from other sources carefully giving credit where credit is due because it's never cool to plagiarize.
I got out my notebook and reviewed ideas and got out some scraps and worked out a few things.
The stage must be set.
Use what you have, where you are and some really amazing things can happen.
great idea to keep a notebook Janie and it's coming together beautifully. I love how you are layering with paper

ReplyDeleteI always think I should do this, but it hasn't happened yet. Yours is encouragement to keep trying - thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy 'notebook' always seems to end up being scraps of paper. I should really try to do better! It was fun to peep into yours....
ReplyDeleteI'm a collector of colorful scraps of this and that and I have a stapler, glue and tape so that's where my notebook comes from. I look at it when the creative juices run a little dry.
