\"\"<\/p>\n

We spent the last two weeks of September in Brooklyn, New York, so of course I logged our trip with a Salvage Collage junk journal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I didn’t make my own journal, but used one created by my friend Laurie at Black Dog Studio<\/span><\/a>. It came with a nice variety of papers, including some heavy watercolor paper, so I was able to adhere all kinds of papers, post cards, street fliers, and whatever paper materials I could scrounge. It was a bit more challenging on this trip because during a pandemic, there isn’t as much print material as usual. But being the scrounger and junker that I am, I managed to cobble together a pretty interesting journal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We rented a tiny<\/em> Airbnb apartment in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. I set up my make do studio on a tiny<\/em> desk in the corner of the tiny<\/em> bedroom with a nice view of the fire escape and the Manhattan skyline in the distance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hunted and gathered each day, my piles of possible fodder growing and expanding, and I used the bed as a place to sort.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every night after a day of exploring Brooklyn (or Manhattan), I returned to our apartment, where I cut and pasted the scraps I gathered during the day, into my journal. The journal began to take on a life of its own. I didn’t keep a chronological travelogue, or even write about our days. I just ripped, cut, and glued, creating a collaged journal with visual reminders of our first big trip in three years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On our return trip, we turned a two hour layover in San Francisco into a three day layover (so I could see the Joan Mitchell exhibit<\/span> <\/a>at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art). My travel journal just kept growing, setting up my studio on the desk in the corner of our hotel room.<\/p>\n
