I am a sucker for journals. At the current time I am actively working in several. Follow me . . . .<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color Journal: A place to keep track of colors I like, the brands of colors because not all colors are the same, what happens when certain colors are mixed together, formulas of colors I like, and the Pantone color of the year (this year it is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pantone.com\/color-of-the-year-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Very Peri<\/span><\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>A small painting journal where I have combined paintings with art quotes on the opposite page. This has been in process for the past couple of years.<\/li>\n<li>A vintage book where I wipe off excess paint from my palette, clean off my brushes on the pages, glue in leftover tidbits, and experiment with quick ideas that pop into my head.<\/li>\n<li>Visual Journal: This 9&#215;12 inch journal is my hard-working <em>jack of all trades<\/em> journal. I take notes in it when I take a class, record ideas for a painting or a show, sketch out ideas, and take notes at art meetings. This is my official visual journal and has been a key part of my art practice for many years. The journals are lined up in my studio with little tags indicating the dates covered in each journal.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/2021\/02\/04\/salvage-collage-cut-and-paste\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Collage Journal<\/span><\/a>: An old composition book where a student kept notes and did engineering types of drawing, and also glued in tests and notes. I use this journal to create collage compositions right over the writing and drawings. The glued in papers I have torn out, but gluey residue peeks through on many of the pages.<\/li>\n<li>Junk Journal: I created this big chunky book out of hundreds of pieces of old papers, collage materials, and ephemera, and created three signatures (or was it four? the journal is thick). The junk part was my use of junky papers, but then I have gone back in and embellished the pages, fleshing out more complete collage compositions. I have been working on this one for months!<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/2020\/05\/23\/handmade-journal-the-great-pause-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Covid Journal<\/span><\/a>:<\/span> When Covid hit in full force in early 2020, I took one of the junk journals I had made and recorded milestones and statistics for the first full year of our lockdown. Every once in a while I will go back in make a note or update the statistics. Sadly, I am entering the third year of entries.<\/li>\n<li>Travel Journal: Anytime we take a biggish trip, I maintain a travel journal. My most recent travel journal was done in September when we spent a couple of weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/2021\/10\/27\/brooklyn-travel-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">New York<\/span><\/a>.

In 2019 I committed to painting a painting a day in a 9&#215;9 inch journal and somehow I pulled it off. Sometimes I was playing catch up, but for the most part keeping that painting journal got me into my studio. Every. Single.Day.

Earle. I remember buying this big book of a journal at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monographbookwerks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monograph Bookwerks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(fine art books, objects, + ephemera), located in NE Portland, and I was so excited to use it to record what I did every day for a year. Each page has original art by 365 artists (actually 371 as some worked in groups), so the imagery and graphics were always a treat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13197 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8092-233x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8092-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8092-768x989.jpg 768w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8092-795x1024.jpg 795w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8092.jpg 994w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13198 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8093-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8093-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8093-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8093-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/daynacollinsblog.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/thumbnail_IMG_8093.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A few of my pages from 2012.
