And in case you are one of those people who are keeping track, yes there are two 16th's and no they are not in order and sometimes things like that just happen.  Deal with it.  She did.

I'm just going to post the pages because I really don't have much to say about them, just as I didn't have much to say in them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

International Fake Journal Month 2016

Well what can I say.  It's been a slow year.  But I did participate in IFJM even if it kept it to myself in real time.    I had to.  Last year was such a good experience and I learned so much about what I want from my journal and why I find it attractive.  This year's journal was totally different but again, it was an eye-opening experience.  Maybe I'll write about that later, but for now let me just say...

I used a Swathmore watercolor softbound journal 5 1/2 by 8 landscape.  Why?  Because I had it.  I decided early on to use washi tape.  Why?  Because I've bought a ton to it and use it mostly with my travel journals (for which it's very useful) but I don't travel that much so it mostly sits around staring at me.   I used Towbow markers.  Somewhat.  Again, because they were on hand.  And I sketched with pencil, micron pen and some watercolors.  

I love that I used the things I had and just went where I was inclined.

About my character I have nothing to say.  Like last year, I tried not to give it too much thought.   And like last year, the less I thought about it, the more fun I had and the more I was able to relax into it.

So here are some pages.
