Day 1

I am not used to using markers a lot, but I found out that I actually enjoy using them, it’s a great way to get down some color. I will try to get used to them during this projects. I am just starting today, so I am excited to see how it will go. Illustrated Journaling - image 1 - student project

At the moment I am listening a lot to playlists, but also a few albums, so I decided to just write the song titles, the artists and the Podcasts I am currrently listening to on a big autumn playlist.

Day 2

I recently learned a poem by Mascha Kaléko, one of my favourite poetess. Her poems where turned into songs by Dota Kehr and are now sticking in my head even more because of the melody that was added.

Here is a translation of the poem:

Not a Children's Song
Wherever I travel to, I go to Nowhereland.
The suitcases filled with longing, The hands filled with trumpery.
As lonely as the desert wind.
As homeless as sand:
Wherever I travel to,I come to Nowhereland.

The forests have disappeared The houses are burned down.
I found none left.
Nobody recognised me.
And when the strange bird cried I ran away.
Wherever I travel to,I come to Nowhereland.

Day 10

I had so many things to put on that list - I love food, I love eating and preparing food! But I made some decisions and I heard somewhere that Art is about making decisions. There were some incidents with my new ink, I decided to call them incidents and not accidents, those ink splashes are part of my journal now.
