WTJ - Page for negative comments

Using some of the bumper stickers I found I could create the perfect page for my inner critic :)

And here is the other side of the very first page I've done (doodling never stops):

WTJ - Trace your hand

Finally at least I'm completely done with a page and I'm happy with the outcome. It took me a couple of days, but it succeeded! Here it is:




And this is a little package for my boss, who is leaving for Switzerland:



It contains typical Hungarian candies: dunakavics (Duna pebbles) and francia drazsé (French dragee). I printed a cute candy shaped gift-tag for it.

WTJ - Peace

I just got an enormous hint this weekend how to do the 'trace your hand' page. I saw a guy on MTV who had a shirt with a hand forming the peace sign. So thats it :) I always liked hippies and the whole flower power era anyways :)

Wreck This Journal - A little from everything

Well, I have the feeling I'm not like one of those artists/bloggers who start a page in the journal and work on it until it's finished. I'm more like "a little drawing here, another sticker there" kind of person. I added some pagenumbers, in the order of my progression with the pages. So it's gonna be chaotic :)

Wreck This Journal - Let's start destroying!

Although I didn't have much time yesterday I did some damage in the evening cause I was in the mood. I added some non-fruitsticker decoration to the fruit sticker page, chewed on the page where it was required (not very yummi), did the journal-golf (no photos to document it unfortunately), glued back the 'golfball' page to be able to spread the fruitsticker page, and I cut out the paper-chain page, in the hope of a future paper-chain. Plus I slept with the journal. (I had nightmares, but hopefully not FROM it :) I will have to describe the experience on the pages :)

Wreck This Journal - Not much happening yet

I'm still brainstorming about lots of ideas for lots of pages of the journal. I made a slight progress with the fruit sticker page (though I actually didn't eat the fruits they were on) and also added stickers to the cover.There are so many things to do I don't know where to start :)

But instruction no. 1 is done for sure: I started carrying the journal in my bag to work in case I get hit by brilliant ideas while pretending to work :)

Wreck This Journal - Finally!!

Finally my own fresh WTJ. Smells good, looks good probably also tastes good (didn't get to the biting part yet).

Since I'm quite worn out today and don't feel up to any creative challenge, I started with doodling. I haven't been drawing this pattern since high school but let me tell you it was quite recreational.

And my very first stickers on the back. I had to use them cause my journal arrived with a British price tag glued on it's back which I removed (bad idea) and all of a sudden my book started sticking to everything I put it on.

I was a bit afraid that when I get my nice and shiny new book I wouldn't feel like ruining it according to the instructions but after doodling I realized wrecking is not necessarily destroying. It's more like using and that means making it your own. So I can say I'm already owning my journal! :)

Wreck This Journal - The Waiting

I'm going to dedicate my blog (for now) to my new project: wrecking the journal.


For those who doesn't know what this book is all about, here are the instructions:


* Carry this with you everywhere you go.


* Follow the instructions on every page.


* Order is not important.


* Instructions are open to interpretation.


* Experiment. (Work against your better judgement.)

I decided to document my progress with WTJ. At the moment I'm in the waiting phase, I ordered it online but hasn't arrived yet. I'm a bit impatient. It's been a week now! I will have my birthday this saturday, would be cool to get the book by then, as a present from the National Dutch Postservice (TNT).

I can tell you I'm already avoiding tons of pages in my mind. Especially the one where I have to carry my journal UNDER THE SHOWER!! Guess I just didn't get to that creational highpoint yet.
