One of the presents I received for Christmas 2012 was ‘Wreck
This Journal’ by Keri Smith. It’s a fabulous, reader-involved book which, as the title suggests, you destroy. All in the name of creativity!
Completing it is one of my goals for 2013.
So far, it’s been inspiring. The instructions are varied and
open to interpretation, even encouraging you to deface the cover (as you can
see, I’ve not done that one yet!)
I’m having fun with picking pages at random to complete, and
art materials that have been gathering dust in the cupboard for years are
finally seeing the light of day!
One of the great things I’ve found about Wreck this Journal
is that it’s helping me to lose restraint when being creative: to be careless,
to rip and scribble and colour outside the lines. And I’m pretty pleased with
some of the stuff I’ve churned out so far!
I would definitely recommend this book.
This was NOT a
sponsored post. As with all posts on Unfortunately Oh!, I have written my
opinions out of my own will without receiving any benefits in return. I just
want to share with you the awesome things I’ve happened upon!
That looks fantastic so far! I don't know what the task was, but I love the look of the pages with all the circles(?) drawn on them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of the journal :D
Looks like nice low pressure art. Sometimes when I'm working on something I feel as if I am concentrating too hard, but with that journal it looks relaxing AND creative. Soooo nice!
