Wreck it Wednesday: Compost This Page

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

This was fun trying to stick back together!

I buried the sections in a pot of soil and left it on my window sill for weekly increments.

I didn't enjoy this one as much because my crazy side kept insisting I cleaned the mud off before I put it back into the book...

I don't know what I'll do with the other side yet. We'll have to see.

 

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.
