Lettering: I pulled this beautiful poem from @lizelayne side by side day two. What a gift this class is. What a gift Mary Oliver is. What a joy lettering and watercoloring is. So grateful for art.

Sketching: here’s last night’s house. Here’s what I am learning so far: For me, drawing can be long and tedious and it’s hard. So the best way to get better at it is to slow down and give myself grace and find the joy in the process. When I find myself wanting to be done, I find I am rushing and then the outcome is not to my liking and then I feel defeated and discouraged. So for me it’s better to pick topics that I like and really allow myself to slow down and enjoy the process and start with houses that feel joyful to tackle.

Making: I started the side by side class with @lizelayne this morning. If you’re not taking it, you’re missing out. Today’s topic was curiosity and I love love loved this invitation to replace judgement with curiosity.

Can’t wait to dive deeper into this course and use it for practicing my lettering and my journaling.

Sketching: tried a house too, a little paint from the right side page but I don’t mind, it’s a journal. But I love the way it took to the sketch too. Loving this journal so far.

Bought another one to use for fodder school.

Lettering: I bought a brand new journal to start documenting my #fodderschool experience. I had to test it out with some lettering first.

I started at the beginning so I am taking fodder school 1. Which means I get to pace myself since all the lessons are out.

Excited to dive in.

Making: now that I’m back at home, I wanted to pickup the #fodderchallenge2023 where I left off so here’s the belly band challenge day 10 with @di.venter
