Wreck it Wednesday: a page from one of
my journals.
I attempted to fill in the page numbers in order of page completion, but I didn't start it until I'd done enough pages to forget what order I'd done them and got confused.
And after my fun with collecting the letter 'W', thought I'd add lots of numbers too, which were almost stuck in in numerical order until I decided to stop being so freakin anal.
My shoes weren't muddy enough.
Much harder than you think it'll be.
With a kitchen knife.
Ripped it up, and as the next page instructed me to glue it to the last page, I simply stuck the ripped bits back down.
Giant paperclip, a piece of lego and my ukulele strings.
Ripped it out, crumpled it up, taped it back in.
Made the airplane, threw it across the living room, taped it back in.
Wrapped a random toy up, gave it to Bean to unwrap, taped it back in.
Includes dentist trip stickers.
Paper chain.
I used mud from a houseplant.
I used this page to give the boy's pen drawer a clear out.
So it turns out sewing a page that is still attached to a book is a freakin nightmare. I just stitched in some applique stuff I had in my stash.
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.
