This also makes me think of one of my Patrons on my Patreon Page, who had a sketchbook withholder she hates and had abandoned.

After a while she picked it up again, to try some stuff in. Collage experiments, and also gelli plate textures, mixing media.

She started to have so much fun in “TTS”, The Terrible Sketchbook, and learned a lot from all the “I don’t care for this sketchbook so I’ll just do whatever” experiments.

The sketchbook was revived and filled, and it gave her so much joy (and us, in the Patreon community too, because she shared her experiments as she went).

I love it when you can really turn things around like that, just like the JDJ!
