I keep this little "journal" in my purse but I call it my brain. It is where I write all notes to self about work, grocery lists, and ideas for art. It has proved to be very helpful to me with one exception (I had a friend write a web address in it for me for something....when I went back to it later, I could not recognize the writing and I was very disoriented about it. I finally remembered it.
Here is what I do when I think of some idea for an art project (usually) I draw or sketch it out roughly on this book so I don't forget. In this case, I have always wanted to create something with those wooden plates you see at the craft stores. So, one day I thought it would be cool to collage a beautiful girl on the painted wooden plate. Then drill holes (3) and hang an old knife, fork and spoon from it.

Instead of just hanging the silverware, I soldered jump rings to the top and hung beaded wire before the spoon, knife and fork. I also added flowers around the girl because I thought that would make it look more like a plate. The words got changed too! I thought this girl looked like someone who was saying "Darling, I don't do dishes". So there you have it, from concept to completion....An Art Project.
