Musings on an excerpt from the award winning book by Eli Clare ‘Brilliant Imperfection; grappling with cure’.
Considering how happy and engaged I feel when I’m creating art, I decided to dedicate an entire month to it.
Ironically I chose to use exactly ZERO watercolours for my brand new watercolour bullet journal. Instead I chose to go with a minimalist theme.
I’ve been struggling with trying to decorate my journal in watercolour paint on cheap paper, so I bought a new journal.
The theme for August 2023 is Delftware (or: ‘Delft blue’ as it’s called in Dutch), which is a very traditional Dutch art style in blue monochrome.
July was the first month that I added a little quote to my title page. It’s a bit hard to read, but it says: “Even busy bees stop to smell the roses.”
New year, new journal, new me! The summer mood inspired me to make my first theme very cheerful and what better way to represent summer than strawberries?
I’m creating a bullet journal to track and document some things, as well as create opportunities for myself to be inspired to make art.
