The Wreckers

This weeks wrecking has been a little slow. Not surprising really with the pages I tackled. I still have any number of in progress pages but the only four pages I wish to show you are these...

Lines in motion. I did this while F was driving, going from left to right across the page and down the page with each colour before starting at the top with a new colour.
Non-stop Line. I have drawn mazes in this way before and really enjoy the effect they give (see postcards) so it is not surprising I did the same thing again but then wrecked it... ink splodged on in various colours and then water sprinkled onto the page on top. The ink has spread through several pages.
Coloured Page. I started with some small shapes and then did contours round in a lovely set of pastel markers. I love the effect this page gives. The markers soaked through so a couple of other pages will have this as a background.
Doodled Page. I doodled in and on and around th text as requested...
Then there is my title page which I re-wrecked and forgot to post a picture of...
I have had a few other interesting bits.

The gum F and I stuck on the sticky page has slowyl dried and as I have kept flipping through the book and forcing this page open, some of the paper has now torn.

My composting page had a little seed sprouting in the thin layer of compost on top! It was too small to handle and move and seems to have suffered in the heat...

My time passing page now gets a date stamp whenever I open the book to that page and look at it for more than a split second. I write the time and date in whatever pen comes to hand...



So observations....Not many really. Just the gentle process of metamorphosis between create and destroy.... The silver tape on the spine is splitting as well as gaining a lovely rumpled texture. I shall fix this at some point and preserve both the texture and the broken bits in the process.... I love my journal..It is so mine. Other books I own always remain to some extent the property of the author. This one is all mine though. I own it and it is a reflection of me....
