Making a new sketchbook - watercolor & pen & slow stitched journal cover

I have used up some fabric scrap and handstitched

a journal cover for my new sketchbook.

The plan is to do some watercolor flowers, birds and zentangle

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant." — Albert Einstein

I will try to draw flowers and fantasy flowers, try out some colors.

Practicing doodle flowers is a fun and relaxing way to enhance my drawing skills and add beautiful elements to my art projects. I do not plan, I work very

intuitive.

"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do." — Benjamin Spock

"Intuition is seeing with the soul." — Dean Koontz

Birds with charachter, and I will use other medium as well

"Creativity takes courage." — Henri Matisse

"Every stitch tells a story."

I love slowstiching, it is so calming, its so meditative 

and peaceful. I am still wondereing about my

hacked instagram account, but have not heard

a single word from meta after I complained.

I really enjoyed being on Instagram, and I have so many

beautiIful friends there, so I wonder if I should make

a new instagram account?

Handmade watercolor art journal

Creating a handmade watercolor art journal can be a rewarding and creative project.

Try out new tings, new colors, and maybe add words, poems and quotes.

I also used it for collage with handpainted watercolor flowers and butterflies.

I used an old cereal box, panted white and decorated. 

Because watercolor actually moves on the paper, it is the most active of all mediums, almost a performance art.

Watercolor and pen

is cool to try

Loose watercolor and mixed media

Watercolors is the first and the last thing an artist does.

Willem de Kooning

I have been doodling with ink and watercolor on paper all my life. It's my way of stirring up my imagination to see what I find hidden in my head. I call the results dream pictures, fantasy sketches, and even brain-sharpenin g exercises.

Maurice Sendak

Words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the world. ... they bring the world into focus, they corral ideas, they hone thoughts, they paint watercolors of perception.

Diane Ackerman

Whimsical flowers and paint on envelopes, write some words, poems or diary notes. Make it personal, make it your artwork.
