(the books were like drugs - i was addicted).<br /><br />with his inspiration, my fire was re-lit and i have been drawing more and more - danny helped me get back one of the most important parts of my life - my art.<br /><br />thank you, danny.Ryn Weiszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10456939700849379014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-21552847641445912032010-12-27T07:22:26.088-06:002010-12-27T07:22:26.088-06:00Rebecca, whatever works for YOU.

That's okay too...it's part of life, so it's reflected in our journal pages.<br /><br />Colette, you should read the dog book, it is a DELIGHT.

I'm at the stage now where some art therapy has crept into my watercolour explorations. Everyday is different for me and sometimes stuff comes up.

I have tried this myself, in hard copy but find that the 'purity' of the white page is offputting, so I doodle on scraps and transform them on computer before putting them together in my blog as a journal for myself because I'm finicky about the things I want to keep and the things I want to forget. I will, eventually, print these pages out and put them back into a hardcopy journal because there's just nothing like the feel of a real life journal in your hands all bound up with emotion and living, is there? Thanks for this interview. It was great to see... and inspiring... definitely inspiring. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964867167868338817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-31103996129630138822010-12-26T14:05:21.149-06:002010-12-26T14:05:21.149-06:00MaryO, guess what?
