Expressive Junk Journalling
Posted by: trishbee on: January 2, 2008
Uh Oh! Do I hear the sounds of another challenge afoot!?
This is a mini challenge is for those of us who are either addicted to sketchbooking or want to start a sketchbook for the first time. All you need to take part in this mini challenge is a sketchbook and some journalling pens and some kind of colour medium.
Sketchbooking is all about self expression, you should never worry about how your sketchbook or journal is going to look because you are doing it for noone else but yourself!
If you want to find out a little more about finding a sketchbook and what pens to use etc then why not check out my earlier challenge for the Starting An Art Journal Challenge featured on my blog. This page should answer some of the many questions you may have on sketchbooking – if it doesnt; leave me a comment on this post and I’ll answer it here!
There is nothing worse than journallers block! Staring at a blank page not knowing what to write or doodle on it – nightmare! So I decided to start a mini challenge to help kick start the journallers muse so that we never get writers block again!
This page is eventually going to be full of journalling prompt ideas, so please keep checking my blog for details and updates for any new journalling prompts I may add.
Expressive Junk Journalling Prompts
January 2nd 2008: This Year I ….. -
Seeing as its the start of a brand new year I thought this theme was appropiate. Think about the year ahead of you, is there something special or important that you know is going to happen to you this year? Do you have an upcoming special occasion? Maybe your going on the trip of a lifetime? Or maybe you have hopes and dreams for how you think this year is going to pan out. Whatever your thoughts on this, create a sketchbook page to express them.
February 20th 2008: A Letter To My Younger Self-
Create a sketchbook page as if you were composing a letter to your younger self. You can send the letter to yourself at any age you wish. Write advice or offer help or anything else that comes to mind. If you could write a letter and have it sent back in time to a younger version of YOU what would you write? What would you say and how old would the younger you be who you are writing to?
April 27th 2008: All That I Am-
What makes you tick? What makes you the person you are? What defines you the most and what do you hold most important in your life?

Welcome to my blog, my name is Trish Bee & I live in the North West of England.
My other blog became corrupt so I had to import all my older blog posts into this one as to serve as a back up.
Ive decided to use this blog to showcase my latest artwork as well as mutterings on life and things in general.

| Your Brain's Pattern |
Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent. You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored. You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts. And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be. |

What Trish Means |
 You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. |
