Well, International Fake Journal Month snuck up on me again. Actually, I started thinking about it back in the fall, and had what I thought was a great idea for a character. But I talked myself out of it. Too much research, don't know if I could get 30 days out of it, maybe it would even be considered "fiction". So then I decided that it would be fun to do a journal with Gelli prints. Only, I haven't really used my Gelli plate enough to figure out how to get good prints from it. It is also very messy, and I'm a procrastinator and a poor housekeeper as is, without having to clean up after every page. Plus, I was going to be away for the last two days of March, and the first two of April. But, once I get something in my head, it's hard to get it out, so Gelli Prints it is. Roz suggested starting a few days late and extending after to make the 30 days, and that worked out great. So...
My "character" is a woman a lot like me, except that she (hopefully) is NOT a procrastinator, and does not mind the mess because she doesn't mind cleaning. LOL. She is curious about Gelli prints, and wants to learn how to do them. She is taking a month off of her regular painting and journaling in order to practice the art of printing. She loves finding new quotes and will be using them a lot in her journal. That's all I really know about her. Not even her name. Maybe I will learn more about her as the month goes on.
