Journal 52, Week 11: Just Write

For Week 11 at Journal 52, Chelle wants us to just write.  Not my favorite prompt, but I will make the most of it as long as my hands hold out.  Chelle said not to worry about our handwriting.  I used to have good handwriting, but after my arthritis got bad, it went to pot.  She also used a blocking technique, so I tried to follow that.

This is my contribution for this week, and I'll walk you through how I made it.

I started with one of my used file folders, several of my handmade spray mists, and my new pens I bought yesterday.

Although some of the blocking was a bit iffy, I was happy with the way the mists shimmered on my table.  Next, it was time to add the blocks.

I was a bit disgusted with myself because I checked very carefully that I had positioned the typing in the correct spot.  However, when I placed the file folder in the printer, it grabbed the folder before it was in place, causing the typing to print in the wrong position.  Still, it saved me a lot of writing, so I'm not terribly upset.

I know many of my internet friends like to draw, doodle, and write.  I type.  I try not to write if I don't have to.

I used every new pen I bought yesterday and I explained what a great deal I got on them.  As an aside, the sale is on through Sunday if you get their coupons.  I'm not sure how long the 50% sale is, but it included all pens.  So, if you live in the States, you might want to head to JoAnn's for a really good sale.

By using every pen, I was able to see how each one worked on the different backgrounds I created.  Unlike Chelle, I didn't add paint, or gesso to my file folder.

I always try to find a place to share the week number, but this week, I wrote it out.

One final look and I'm calling this one finished.

Thanks for visiting.  I always appreciate your visits and your lovely comments.  They truly keep me going.
