In early November of last year I talked about using 'left-overs' as in scraps of paper and bits and pieces left over from other projects. I started using these " odds and ends " in an old book, filling two pages at a time :---- no theme or plan, just playing with whatever I had at hand and letting it 'happen'. I have done several pages now and the front cover. I guess you would now call this project an Altered Book. The freedom of creating a page with no constraints or specified requirements is so enjoyable and therapeutic. Sometimes random words on the page might influence what I put on it, but usually I just experiment with techniques or try to create pleasing arrangements using random bits and pieces. Anyway continuing on with this theme of random creativity, Julie at Balzer Designs has started a Daily Art Journal post which I am going to attempt to take part in:---------- I don't know if I can do it for a whole year, but I am going to attempt 30 days and then see what happens.
