I’m not quite sure where May went. I missed the end of the month by a few days. Here's my calendar page for May’s Calendar Challenge. This month, I just didn’t have the patience to cut out those little date squares and get them straight on the page. So I changed it up a bit. 
I’ve kind of gotten past the dark, “I’m totally sad, and mad, and irritated” journaling this month. I’m getting near some closure with the whole work debacle. I just couldn’t dwell on it anymore. Which has been good. So I’ve been doodling a lot lately and enjoying it thoroughly. 
And made some more new cards for the stash. 
And on another art note…
A week or so ago, the Sketchbook Project came to Los Angeles. I sent my sketchbook to Brooklyn in January to join the rest of the 2012 sketchbooks. After all that work it was tough sending it in to be housed somewhere else. I looked forward to visiting the project when it arrived in town. Stef joined me on an outing into the Echo Park area of Los Angeles.
The Arthouse Co-op (organizer of the project) brought all the 2012 books to the iam8bit gallery located on Sunset Blvd. We spent a couple hours viewing some of the sketchbooks for the year
Throughout that day I had been getting emails from the project notifying me that my book had been checked out by various people. When I tried to locate it, we had to wait for a little while for it to be turned back in and reshelved.
Happy June!
Loving your calendar and your idea for doodling the days, it's better than writing the same thing again and again. x
ReplyDeleteYou know, I didn't realize that this is what you were doing with your scrapbook. After all that hard work, it must feel like you were it's Foster Mother.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I admit, I have no idea what it feels like to be a Foster Mother.

@mark - it IS like that. It took every ounce of courage I had to simply send it in so thinking about not getting to keep the book was not a concern at the time. Once it was gone though I missed it. :). I even contemplated stuffing it in my bag last week, but decided against it.
DeleteHi Kimberly, your May pages are fantastic, colourful too! What a great idea. You're so right, some days are too boring to note. Love your little sketches on the journal and your doodles too :-)

@anita and lou - exactly, on many days it's work and sleep, that's it. There were only so many days to represent that. :)
DeleteFor me it seem only a few weeks ago that we were living in darkness for most of the ruddy day. OH that's correct it was !!!!!. I'll wrte more this evening. Must away with the hound.
ReplyDeleteLove your calendar page with those doodles and your doodled art is lovely too. So cool to see your sketchbook again
ReplyDelete@Lynette - it was fun to see it. It was even more fun to see others check theirs out and show it off. It could have stayed for hours looking through all of them.
DeleteYou are so creative Pumpkin! I love your May. It looks like a colorful and very happy month! : )
ReplyDelete@becky - I'm trying...thanks!
DeleteOverall I'd say you were channeling the 1960's with this artwork.
ReplyDeleteI, for the life of me I cannot think of what those plastic interlocking rings are called.
I was watching a thing on the BBC the other day when these daily diaries came to mind. Books for dolls houses. Teeny tiny printed books. I was impressed.
@vince - those spiral toys were great. I've got a set in my classroom somewhere. I haven't thought about it in ages.

ReplyDeleteHow nice that you have your creativeness captured for posterity.
ReplyDeleteI just love your work.
ReplyDeleteLovely eclectic mix and vibrancy of colours pumpkin, and the doodling is fabulous. Glad you are 'moving on' now ... you will feel better for it. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteLove your pages and all that gorgeous doodling. I'm fascinated by the sketchbook project. I didn't realize they email you when your book is checked out... how cool is that?!?!
