On my block this week (art journaling)
I'm continuing to play with a type of art journaling where I draw and paint groups of simple subjects, each of which represents one of the things on my mind at that moment. Recently, I've done a clothesline, a plant with many leaves, and a swarm of butterflies. For my page today, I drew a variety of buildings each of which represents all the things on my "to do" list and called the page "On my block this week." I really like this type of art journaling and will surely create many more clotheslines, plants and neighborhoods. I'm also trying to come up with other groupings that might work - simple objects that I can sketch, paint and decorate. I'm thinking of a flag pole or line of bunting and a group of postcards in my mailbox. But I'm looking for more ideas. Got any to suggest?

How about a line of flowerpots, some gloves where each finger represents something on your list, stars in the sky, cakes on a cake stand, a bookshelf where the titles of the books are the things on your list.
I like this game of suggesting items without having to draw them - how about the back of a crowd (so ne need for faces), balls of yarn, cars, kites, clouds, footsteps
garage doors? gates? gable ends of houses (so you are drawing them side on)?
I immediately thought of flowers, and books, but those are already taken. How about stars? Love your houses.
How about stepping stones through a river....they could even be sized by importance.
Love the houses.
How about different fences?
