The horrors of this week all got too much for me, so after spending the morning finishing reading Murder on the Leviathan I decided to give myself the day off and spent the whole afternoon on the couch, listening to music and messing about in my journal – I completed 6 entire spreads! Plus added a bit to a few more. I don’t think I’ve ever done that much in a session ever before. Definitely feel better for a little random creative thought, although the headache is as bad as ever.

Made a Moleskine collage

I had to work out some sort of collage to cover the back of the Stonehenge page which bled through quite badly, and particularly where the surface of the paper had torn. And I had to unwrap my new Moleskines, so decided to use the insert which shows all the different types of notebooks and the wraps from my new softcover plain (the wrap is green) and tiny volant (white with multicoloured stripes) books and make a collage from these. A tribute, if you will, to the cult of Moleskine

Did a little collage

in my composition book – I wanted to keep a page out of the Millais exhibition notes, on his stunning portrait of Louise Joplin, but it looked too plain against the paper, so I found some old dark-green tissue paper and stuck that over the page last night, then today added in the page and part of the cover to remind myself of where I’d found it. Looks much better than if plain.

Read through first lot of posts from the Everyday Matters group

I’ve been meaning to join this Yahoo! group for a while because I like the philosophy and wanted to get the weekly challenges which seem to be updated only irregularly on flickr – now that I’m on I discover it’s a whole huge supportive community. Might need to switch to digest mode to save being drowned in floods of friendly artistic emails!

in my notes from the Tristan Tzara Manifesti & Lampisteries. Still need to do a little more, but at least it’s a start.
