Sometimes I get so busy with life (kids) that I only get time to me in a series of moments.....taking a moment to scetch ideas as they pop in my head gives me the joy of being creative and records the idea, lest it be lost forever.

I don't draw, but I do have the color journal that I wrote about in my first AJE post, last October. http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2012/10/inspiration-insights.html <br />Great post, Jenny.

I may sketch an idea, but it's rare and usually on a random bit of paper which I promptly lose or forget about. Maybe if I could sketch more than chicken scratches...plus I get bored very quickly when handwriting words. It's too slooooowJennifer Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470332267386141926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-85422032822255774932013-02-22T09:35:07.909-05:002013-02-22T09:35:07.909-05:00I keep a sketch journal-everything journal. I am ...I keep a sketch journal-everything journal. I am not a diary keeper - I wouldn't want anyone to read my private thoughts, but I do like to right down important things. Mine is a 5 x 7 that goes with me everywhere - I'm never without it and it has everything in it. sketches, ideas, lists, notes to myself, etc. EVERYTHING goes in the journal. I had lost it last summer after Bead Fest PA and it was very traumatic but I found it! I also keep collage journals and I like to make my own journals. Journals are another form of art to me that I love.Mary Welsh Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404733719240130292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-3788535765101268532013-02-22T09:29:16.763-05:002013-02-22T09:29:16.763-05:00This is so cool!

A lot of my designs happen in my head or at my bench, simply by looking and moving pieces around as needed. I keep my sketch books for ideas I want to remember and don't have the time to do in the moment. Mainly my sketch books are to work out ideas for lampwork beads; exactly how a butterfly wing is constructed or placement of stringers on a bead, can I possibly fit all the elements in my head onto one bead.

I can't draw a line straight with a ruler much less the beautiful things you have done. That pin sounds stunning. I feel your pain with losing it. I was thrilled with the bracelet I made in Stacie's class at ArtBliss and wore it all the time. It represented overcoming some challenges for me and sadly I lost it a little while back. The bad thing was I didn't even take a picture of it! Thank you for opening your journals to us.

(isn't that an oxymoron anyway?!) I too have all sorts of different journals and use the one that fits the moment. The one I will be starting, tho, thanx to your inspiration, is the 'cut and paste' type. I have boatloads of inspirational items in a bin . . . putting them into a journal and adding my own elements looks like a lot of fun!

I've tried numerous times to do something like this but they always end up falling by the wayside after a few weeks, then I pick them up again later and try again but it falls away. I think it's awesome and hope one day I start and continue!KristiBowmanDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015584159659853422noreply@blogger.com
