Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Well the Wrecking has begun!

DD George and I both received copies of 'Wreck this Journal' in our Christmas Stocking, and have decided it will be a joint Mum/Daughter project this year. Anyone else wrecking?


I honestly didnt think it would be so scary to get going! But eventually we have started - it really does go against the grain to wreck a book, but it is very therapeutic and liberating! I have made some 'stand alone' pages at the top of this blog, so will record our 'journey' there - please feel free to have a look throughout the year.

 


arrgghhh this bit hurt!! but it did say do a sudden potentially destructive action with your book....
throwing it across the room is actually destructive!

and this is what happened when we passed the books over to Matt and Ed




I am also using another 'page' to post pictures of my Journal - I have set myself the challenge of completing a Calendar Journal in 2011. I'll tell you this time next year whether or not I succeeded!

    I was so inspired by your Wreck this Journal post that I rushed off to Amazon and have ordered 2 - one for me and one for my DD!! It looks such fun, and I can't wait for them to arrive. I shall look forward to seeing what else you both come up with.

    Happy New Year!
