Artist Swap for Wreck This Journal


I'm still working away at wrecking the journal I have from Keri Smith. When the mood strikes or I see the book and feel motivated I pick it up, flip a few pages and do whatever the prompt tells me to do (unusual for moi who does NOT like to be told what to do!).

A few weeks ago, Dawn Rice at Artist Reborne was talking about the above page and rather than just giving her favourite page to someone she thought it would be fun to swap favourite pages with others who are doing the Wreck This Journal challenge. I agreed and we swapped addresses so we could make this part of the process a little more interesting and a whole lot more fun.

My envelope from Dawn arrived the other day --







This is the page I told Dawn I had liked the most (from what she had already shared on her blog)...the big holes at the top are from where Dawn took a drill to the book ...



Also included was a copy of this zine created by Robin Olson Mayberry of Alchemy Studio in which Dawn has an article and some of her art work. It's lovely and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.



I'll share what I've sent on it's way to Ohio in a few days!
