365 Calendar August September

Well its September already, cant believe it myself, where has this year gone?? Good news is I am almost up to date with my 365 calendar, August is done and filled in, just need to add my journal spots to September. Beady eyes will note I have finally used my Bo Bunny time piece paper that I have been hoarding for well over a year. I figure this way it stays mine and wont be given away! Enjoy and don't forget to go visit the other calendar participants on Kate's blog!

WOYWW 365 Calendar Update

What's on my desk today? It is the 1st of August so that would be my 365 art calendar page! Where has this year gone? Don't forget to pop along to Kate's blog  and Julias blog to add yours to the lists.

August isn't fully stuck down yet as I am getting a new car, hence the car shaped journalling spot. I don't know when I will get it but it is on its way and should be here Friday/Saturday so I don't want to stick it down in the wrong place.

What's on my desk today? Well my Art Calendar update! I have been so late with it that I haven't updated it here because theirs no point when the month is halfway done! So here it is! I am doing Willowing's Lifebook course so May is following her lessons theme.

WOYWW - 365 Calendar

What's on my desk this week? Well First we have some base pages prepared and ready for journaling in my ledger.

Then their is the 365 Calendar January page finished and all journalled on.

And lastly February's page finished this morning ready for the month ahead.

New year new projects

Well we have reached 2012. I have a few projects planned and will be joining in on a few challenges and workshops. I have decided to take this ledger that I found within my family's stash and saved from certain damp, decay and mould and use it as my next art journal. Also I have decided that this will be a 1 year journal and plan fingers crossed to have it filled by the 31st Dec 2012, so watch this space.

So here we have the journal, its a Collins Balmoral account book and the first entry was made in June 1982, in my Granddads hand writing.

It is so pretty and the paper is lush to work on, the ink they wrote in though smears if you even think about getting water near it which is a shame.

Here is a view of one of the random pages.

Kate Crane Art Calendar Challenge

I have been saying I would join Kate's challenge every year since she first had the idea but never managed to, this year I am going to follow through with it. Here is my first page no where near done but it has a base ready for writing and doodling on. I am happy with it as it is a blank canvass even though partially decorated waiting for a bit of tarting up as the month progress's.

Willowing's Life book Workshop

Willowing's life book year long workshop has begun, the first task posted. I am not following her idea completely as I want to keep my work in one place for everything I do this year, but I am very happy with the outcome. I may at a later date go back and re do it into her format, who knows the year has only just begun and we all know how fast I can change my mind!
