Art journal Swap

Don’t be afraid to join if you can’t draw, or if your collages look like something you made in kindergarden, just as long as you have a creative way to decorate your journal pages a little, and that you ENJOY trying this out!

CHOOSE AT LEAST 15 of the given prompts and in addition to them you make 5-10 promps yourself, something personal and close to your heart.

The size of the journal is senders choice, but it should be at least 6” x 8” (or A5) Be creative, have fun, and don’t worry about your journal not being “arty” enough. One partner, no unexplained 1’s or 3’s and ABSOLUTELY NO FLAKERS!!!!

Prompts:

1 This is me! It doesn’t have to be a biography, but give us the highlights!

This sounds like fun will watch it till gets closer.

Is this a full journal of 15 pages ?? and the 5 - 10 prompts of our own are added or incorporated ?

suzanne33 11/ 9/2011 #

I've started mine but have a question..... Is the idea to make a journal that my partner can journal in or make a journal that has beenfully completed by me. ie my journal notes,feelings, etc etc

rettam 11/11/2011 #

Good question Suzanne.

If I was to go ahead with it (watching ATM) I was going to do it all by me because the journals I would use would have a heap of paper left for the recipient to add their own pages.

But I do like the idea of making double pages for each prompt theme with one side filled by yourself and the other side left for your partner to add her views etc etc and kinder have a comparison thing going on.

suzanne33 11/12/2011 #

That's what I'm doing- a double page.

cafras 11/14/2011 #

thanks ... my question's been answered ... 20 pages.

Watching for now, hopefully I'll have time to join this one to get back into journalling again.

neca84 11/21/2011 #

sorry I didnt check this ,,, journal should be enough pages to cover the 15 prompts from above as well as the 5-10 prompts of your own,.

I agree I like the double pages as well

I have started mine too

craftycol 12/ 8/2011 #

A question number 5 i'm confussed says word of day and then adds an animal is this ment to do both in this promp as both are different subjects to me? Please Carol what is ment to be both in one or mayb e ment to be seperate subjects.

Smiles Col.

Col, I fixed it, just shows my proof reading isn't as good as it should be, we now have 30 prompts :)

as for double or single pages, it is totally up to you, I have done double pages for what I have started BUT one side is not as decorated as the other soooo anyway its your choice.....
