They are not messy like inks and paints, so it works great while watching TV. Sometimes the next day I will go over somethings on the page with colored chalk or old eyeshadow. I seems to kick up the colors and blends well to create soft lines. I have found that buying eye shadow at the dollar store works great for my art. It is cheap and comes in so many pretty colors. I am not big on wasting money. I never throw out blush or eye shadows . . . and I find that they work best on matt paper and on watercolor paper. If you try this let me know what you think. <br />Have a great day, Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-63535157959716926322012-07-21T16:45:37.342-07:002012-07-21T16:45:37.342-07:00Hey Connie, what a great idea to journal while hub...Hey Connie, what a great idea to journal while hubby has the remote control, hehe......I have to admit I enjoy Ice Road Truckers, although the hype drives me a little nuts, I like finding out about such interesting jobs.

I can relate to those t.v. shows, and we do the same thing ... he watches and I read or now I am crocheting an afghan. I like it best when the Mariners are on, but we watch the shows you mentioned too. Ice Road Truckers makes me too nervous though.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend,<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-25091270032512194912012-07-20T21:22:37.946-07:002012-07-20T21:22:37.946-07:00Hi Connie,

Not an expensive canvas, not something special for someone else. Just a page in a book . . there is a freeing of the soul that lets you just draw, doodle, scribble . . . whatever and play with each little area in such a carefree way. I believe that everyone that has a stressful life should start an art journal. I wish that I would have started back when I was still working.

I started mine on the hopes that one day when I'm long gone, my daughter and granddaughters would find them and consider them a treasure of their grandma's life. So, along with the artsy stuff I include personal diary pages . . . things to help them know who I am and from what roots they came. Have a great weekend.
