A Blank Page, A Fresh Start

It’s 2015! Not quite New Year anymore but still a great time for a fresh start. A journal is the perfect way to achieve this, so here are some tips on keeping one! If you don’t have a journal already then go and get one, because they can be really fantastic company.

What do you do if you’re a harmless, gentle snake and someone scares the pants off you? If you’re an eastern hog-nose (Heterodon platirhinos), you bluff. And when you bluff, you bluff like crazy. You flare your neck like a cobra (spoiler alert: there are no cobras in the Northeast). If that fails, you roll over dramatically and play dead. If someone rights you, you make sure to roll back over so you look properly dead. You also release every bodily fluid you have on hand. Nearby humans may feel compelled to say “What a clever snake!” just because they can tell you’re really trying.
I got on with the journal! I skipped some pages, went ahead to “colour” the front page. And it was so much fun! I got to admit i am kind of a perfectionist 😕, so i decided to try and not care and just fill the front page with paper scraps i had laying around without caring much fòr the outcome. It turned out really nice though, I love the look 😍 Also its does feel good to just do whatever I possible can come up with to the book, it is extremely refreshing!!
At first i was at a loss, if i had used chewing gum and such, the pages would stick together. Thus i decided to go to a toy store and by stickers. It's been years, and quite a few of those passing by gave me an odd looke while i stood in the store, trying to decide on what stickets to buy.😊 So from now on, whenever i send a postcard or give a wrapped gift, there is going to be stickers, looots of stickers 😀
I have to say I highly recommend this book, I am totally hooked. Can't put it away, it is just so interesting and gives you the impression that you really were there. Everything is so delicately written. Like Sayuri is sitting face to face with you, telling the story herself. How I love this book!
I saw these bird nest jewelries a long time ago, and i thought they were so beautiful. I just had to make some!! They are super easy to make, and look absolutely fantastic when done

The Korean artist Jee Young Lee created an elaborate installation in her studio, in Seoul, using everyday materials—plywood, paper cups, straws—and handmade props. The constructed landscapes are her interpretations of personal experiences, dreams, and Korean folk tales. Take a look: http://nyr.kr/QrERhB
