I've been having so much fun with my new calendar. My art journaling instructor (Moira) showed us her new calendar grid and gave everyone a regular calendar with a one word prompt last week. I had mistakenly thought she wanted us to make a grid calendar and write one word that expressed our day. So I tried it out but got too wordy for myself. I guess I had this idea swimming around in my head, because it wasn't anything like Moira told us. Guess I was daydreaming in class...
Here's a photo with one week finished. Can't wait to see how the whole month will look on one page! I've been writing the date and a word or two, then mainly watercoloring the background of the box.

"Yeah for the weekend"-- ha, I like that one! :)
You are doing exactly what I imagined for the prompt! I think I just wasn't clear expressing that. I love how you are doing cant wait to see more!
What fun! I like to look back at old calendars to remember fun/important events. But this would make it even more fun to reminisce :)
That's a really cool idea though! Sometimes our mistakes lead us in great directions:)
deb, it's really cool to see how you incorporated the class ideas into your art! :)
Fun calendar! You're off to a great start. I think that it'll look amazing when you have the whole month filled in.
That's a great way to record the month! I like that idea and will try it sometime!
This is going to make an awesome keepsake for your month!
Hi Deb
the first week looks amazing, love the diagonal line to make triangles. I arrived home from holidays yesterday, so will hopefully be able to catch up this weekend. Janet (loriidae)

A colorful calendar and journal. Great idea!
What fun to make a calendar appear and then make all the notes you want there. Looks like fun! Love the way yours is turing out!
I have seen calendars like this on the web. What a great idea to see what you get done and turn it into art.

That looks like fun! Do show us the whole month when it is finished!
I love this way of keeping a calendar! You'll have a pretty patchwork at the end, but with memories.
