Wreck it Wednesday: Scribbling on the Edges

Wreck it Wednesday: a page from one of my journals.

 

This is the first of my 'wreck it wednesday' posts, so I thought I'd start with the first journal I started almost a year ago. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm sure I will over the course of this series. It's not the only journal I currently own, I also have the Anti-journal amongst others, and I even made one for my boys.

I love these books, they kept me sane during a really rough time I had last year. There is such freedom in the way they force you to 'ruin' a perfectly good book, something any book lover would struggle with. And I love completely nerding out and watching YouTube videos of other people's completed books, its fascinating how differently people interpret suggestions.

Anyway, here goes...

 

 

Wreck this Journal is available here.

About 'Wreck This Journal' by Keri Smith

(Description from Amazon)

It is book for those who've always wanted to draw outside the lines but were afraid to do it. For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book featuring a subversive collection of suggestions, asking readers to muster up their best mistake - and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them).

Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts - poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, colouring outside the lines, and more - in order to experience the true creative process. With Keri Smith's unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.
