Working in the Travel Journal
One of my pleasures of traveling is in making and working in my travel journal, both on the trip itself and also when I return as I recollect and digest memories. Its a beautiful way to extend the magic of the trip and also to give the memories and experiences a tangible form that I can connect back to again and again.
So many marks made on location giving me access right back to the scent and senses of the place and experience.
The raw memories demand to be laid down in strokes of colour and words that spill forth, sleep gives way to the urgency of committing those fresh memories to form. 
Next is to write up thoughts and to sort the 1000s of photos that I took, print some and glue them into the book. Such a delicious process. 
It's also the first week of my on line class Of the Heart, and I am loving being inspired by what the students are all doing, bringing me back to my own book and where I left off before I set off on adventure. And I think one of the highlights of the week was when one of my students posted a video of her front porch strewn with the project as her hands were beautifully messy in the act of creation. I think this might just have been the moment I got addicted to teaching.

ReplyDeleteYUUUMMMYYY!!!! I am totally curious now for a true flip through. It's inviting to the inside because of all the ribbons peeking out. The drawings are fab, as we come to expect from you. Well done. Hope you find time to work further on it. I definitely want to see more of it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a lovely time and now you have your journal pages to remind you. I love looking at it.
