Step 1 – So for the first week, you need a writing implementation, something that can make a mark on a page, you could dip a twig in ink, use a pen, pencil, chalk, charcoal, markers, paint, collage, assemblage, engrave. The point is it doesn’t matter what you use but you must make a mark on pages in a brand new notebook. Now the notebook is important, you have to love it and want to work in it. You could make a notebook, cover an old book from a second shop in gesso primer to make stiffer pages. Here is what I will be using.
Step 2 – Write down 30 words in your new book. Pick words that mean something to you, or that you are drawn to. I was recently in New York City and I found the Flatiron Building to be something that really spoke to me in a way I cannot describe in but a few words, some of mine are angles, shapes, perception, perspective. Next week I will share the results of this experiment and use the #IvBnCrafting so I can share yours too.
