moleskine watercolor

I ordered two Moleskine watercolor journals (one 8×5″ and one 5×3″).

I’m thinking the smaller one I will use for Zentangles and tiny mandalas and the larger for some of the circle drawings I have been doing, plus whatever else. I’m hoping that their portability and their book-ness will free me from the weird obligation I feel that every piece of art I create MUST BE COMPLETED AND PROPER. Maybe if it’s all part of a book, an entire work-in-progress, I can just let go and create.

A constant opportunity to turn the page and start fresh when *I’m* done as opposed to when the art is done, which is NEVER is and never will be.

I’ve never bought into the whole Moleskine fanaticism, but I’m starting to get it. It’s a common thread, the book of pages. It’s not sheets of paper. It’s parts of a whole.

The last thing I need is more art supplies, but – I really wanted them, so I am going to see what all the fuss is about.
