Memory journal


Green grocer

Favourite foods

Favourite old bags

I go to a music appreciation class and while the lecturer plays pieces of music I do sketches in my memory journal. I am doing things like my favourite bags, favourite foods, my local green grocer, and other things that spring to mind. Next to the sketches I write about the memories as well. I am loving doing it. It interests me how the memory alters things and is often not very accurate.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

These are a really bold effort - given that you are doing them from memory. You reallyu have become so much more confident.

I couldn't help but see a correlation between every DAY matters and every day THINGS that matter to us. What a wonderful exercise and your sketching ability is coming right along. I like the bags!!

These are wonderful! I really like the grocery store and the food, but the bags are great! All the different styles and designs.

And how about adding some more images? I’m not trying to offend anyone, site is really nice. But as I know people acquire info much more effective when there are certain helpful images.
