I found a piece of a very thin bark; at the same day I saw a nuthatch, so I glued the bark in my moleskine and drew the nuthatch. In Germany we call them "Kleiber", so I also glued in the word from a very very old spelling dictionary.

you have such a beautiful way, to draw :-)
Do you use older days which had been left blank for drawing? or did you this Drawing at 4th/5th April?
I found me drawing and scribbling every evening and listing my "events" - so I wonder if I would ever have the space for any larger picture...
But I expect my enthusiasm cooling down, so perhaps there will be some blank pages... later...
Is this Moleskine your only journal/diary? Or do you use some other tools for reflecting? (sorry for being so inquisitive and curious, but I´m very interested in different ways of having a "tagebuch")
Yours, Claudia

Hi Claudia,
thank you so much for your nice comment. I saw this bird at the 4th/5th April, but I did the drawing a little bit later. I try to draw everey day, but sometimes I don't have the mood for drawing, so sometimes I get in arrears. I have some blank pages in my moleskine. Doesn't matter.
Sometimes I also write some reflections into my moleskine, but I draw more than I reflect ;-)
I also have a calendar where I fill in my dates, deadlines and something like that. I also fill in at the end of the day what I've done at the day, because sometimes I'm able to forget this in between one day. ;-)
I can't wait to see your journal entries!

Sehr schön, wie Du den Kleiber portraitiert hast! Ich würd ja so gern auch mal einen sehen - und vielleicht auch fotografieren...
Wünsch Dir einen schönen Abend!

I adore your altered moleskine. The bird and bark are really vibrant.

Kathrin, Du hast wirklich immer wunderbar kreative Einfälle! Sehr schöne Sachen, die Du die letzte Zeit wieder gemacht hast (und natürlich auch das hier!) - Und Dein Beet ist auch super gelungen, da blüht und grünt es toll!
