Year of Creative Habits: Post-its III (March 2017-July 2018)

Journal: Handmade using cardboard, scrap paper, and post-its
Medium(s): Acrylic paint, ink, watercolors, modeling paste, nail polish, some ephemera
Status: Complete
Notes: This journal was originally a continuation of my post-it note project for Year of Creative Habits 2017. After completing 100 post-its, I shifted the focus of the project in April 2017. In 2018, I used the journal for commissioned art I made on post-its.
