Linda Cline, a very prolific and talented quiltmaker has started her own blog, Linda’s Art Journal<\/a>. Although she only has a few posts up, I was immediately struck by her comments on sketchbooks\/visual journaling in her first post<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Linda plans to use her blog as her visual journal, which is an interesting idea. Obviously, I do that, but I don’t think it is the same as a visual journal in which I use colored pencils, markers, crayons, etc to convey and idea or get an idea out of my head. I feel, for myself, that the screen and the keyboard are a kind of barrier. Not a complete barrier, because, obviously, here I am writing away. Still, I do find them to be a partial barrier. In order to post something, I have to use the keyboard to write it, modify (crop, shrink) photos in a piece of software and then upload everything so you can see it.<\/p>\n

I enjoy putting pen\/pencil\/crayon etc to paper. I enjoy the feel of the implement gliding or sliding or rubbing over the paper. I enjoy the feeling of the paper on my hand.<\/p>\n

I think there is a place for both in my fiber and visual work. I look forward to exploring more on this topic with you. I think there is value in exploring creativity via different media.<\/p>\n
