Award winning quilt Artist, Sue Bleiweiss is hosting The Sketchbook Challenge, as a fun way of encouraging daily sketch sessions. This ties in nicely with my New Year's Goal of making time for more creative play.
There is something paralyzing about sketching in a pristine journal: where to start? what if I make a mistake? Silly, I know! So I skipped the sketchbook and opted to sketch one 3x5 index card each night as a way of commemorating the daily events. If I mess up--I simply start a new card!
Each card starts with a word that sums up the day: purge, productive, phone or packing (that is a lot of P words for just one week!) From there, I doodle images related to my day. Once my daily doodling is complete, I turn it over to add a date and some quick bullets from the day's events. They all fit back into this embroidered zip pouch, along with a black Pilot Precise V5 Rolling Ball Pen (my current favorite as I keep one tucked into my BuJo as well)
I am really enjoying this nighttime ritual as a way of reflecting on my day and documenting it in doodles. I will share my progress from time to time.
