wrecking wednesday.

Happy Wrecking Wednesday from a very exhausted Antonia.

 Draw fat lines and then thin. Pushing really hard with the pencil.

Or a dwarf between weird plants.

Tear strips. Rip it up! and Glue, staple or tape these pages together.

Two pages at once. I stapled the pages together at the top. And used Laura Laakso's beautiful artwork for decoration. 

Place sticky things  here. (honey, gum, syrup, glue, sucker, marshmallow).

Since I believe it's way to disgusting to put use gum, honey, marshmallow etc. to cover this page, I simply used stickers. Who doesn't love them? :)

wrecking wednesday.

It's Wednesday again. Unbelievable how time flies...

Write one word over and over.

 I don't even know how many times I wrote the word looniness on this page. I love the word looniness. It's such a lovely word. By the way, I put one other word on this page. It's somewhere, go find it ;)

Drip something here. (ink, paint, tea). Close the book to make a print.

I used yellow ink. Pretty result, although these things always remind me of the Rorschach test. The most ridiculous idea psychologists ever had.

Create a nonstop line.

I did this while Castiel was assbutting Michael. 

Or for normal people: I did this while watching the finale of Supernatural Season 5. And I probably have to re-watch it, because I missed everything because I was too busy drawing a nonstop line.  

wrecking wednesday. (on a thursday).

I was way too busy running around in Graz to post something on here. My job hunt is going slow. I'm still very confused and lost.
My search for a new apartment is going a bit better. At least something.
Only annoying thing is, that I have to go back an forth between Fürstenfeld and Graz, which is annoying and expensive.
You can't even imagine how much I'm looking forward to living in Graz again. It's weird. I want to leave this country so badly, but at the same time I feel so comfortable here, where, for the first time in my life, I have a working social life. It's great. And at the same time it sucks massively.

Anyway.
Back to Wrecking Wednesday...on a Thursday....

 Close this journal. Write/scribble something on the edges.

One of the first things I did to this journal. And I love it. I love that my journal edges say "There is too much butter on those trays. No no, senor. Uno, dos tres."

And I love what I did to this page. Although the background on the right is a bit Simpsons-ish.

Close your eyes. Connect the dots from memory.

It started off very well...but then...

There is page in the journal that tells you to doodle over top of the cover, the title page, the instructions and the copyright page.

I started with the title page. I used nail polish to create this explosion of colors. I try to use as many different painting materials as possible.

Talk to you soon!

wrecking wednesday.

I purchased a Wreck this Journal book about a month or two ago. I wanted one for a while now. I like the idea so much, because I love doing creative stuff, but it happens all the time that I think of doing art and as soon as I sit there with a blank piece of paper I have no idea how to get started.
This book gives you instructions and ideas to try different things. It makes you hungry for more. You do the pages in the journal and you suddenly can't stop and want to do more. Outside the journal.
Even though I was really looking forward to it I didn't get started until now. It's not that easy after all. I was flipping through it every other day, put it away, picked it up again...as usual I didn't know where to begin.
This weekend I finally said to myself "screw it, just do it" and I did my first page. I didn't like how it turned out, at all. I'll probably work on it again. But it helped to get into it. I've done quite a few pages already and I like some of them a lot.
I'm going to share some (maybe three?) of my wrecked journal pages every Wednesday. They're nice to look at and maybe some of you get inspired to get a journal as well or do any other kind of art or crafting.

 This page is for handprints or fingerprints. Get them dirty then press down.

A bit like kindergarten all over again. It's so simple and it was fun. I can't deny it. 

Color outside of the lines.

Crazy screaming chicken pooping a radioactive green egg? Happy pre-Easter time! 

A page for four-letter words.

I like how it says "A page for four-letter LUST words" now. Yes, I did that on purpose. 

I loved doing this. Give me a scissor and some magazines and I'm happy. But you won't believe how hard it is to count letters in a word around midnight. I almost glued in some five-letter words. I think that's why normal people go to bed and sleep at night.
