PROJECT 7
A MONTH’S DOODLE DIARY
This is from an old practice that many of us “journal artists” kept- and swapped. It’s a monthly Doodle Diary. Basically, you take a sheet of paper and divide it into 30 (or 31, depending on the month) grid squares. Number each one serially (that’s your date). Write the name of the month somewhere on the page and your name. Each day of the month, draw something in the box corresponding to that day- it could be a little drawing to highlight some aspect of that day, or just a random bit of doodling or musing. If you want to explain or add to something on your box for the day, feel free to include a write up with your doodle diary. At the end of the month, send the month’s page across to me and I’ll send mine to you. For this, of course, it’s best if we decide at the start of the month- it doesn’t have to be the calendar month. We can start whichever date we want so we can both have ours ready at the same time.
Here’s a picture of a doodle diary page. It can be as similar or as dissimilar to this as you like. :)
