draw a moment















These are some pages of my sketchbook that I took with me on my trip to Norway. Every night I wrote down what we did and what we saw. I don't take it with we during the day, because I find it very hard to draw or write in public or at the moment that I'm walking in such wonderful landscape. And actually I write more then that I draw, so it's more "write a moment".... I found out that it brings back memories sometimes even more then looking at photo's. I try to do the same thing at home but at the end I don't do it, probably because every day is a bit the same.

  2. So cool! I've always admired people who make journals like this! I also like to write my travel memories down in a journal, but I can't draw well and sometimes I think it would be much cooler if I could, but I'm just disabled when it comes to making little pictures of what I see. Still, I'm planning to make some kinda journal for our trip to Sweden and Majorca which is in three weeks. I think I will add photos later to add visuality, because I'm so visual person and I need some kind of pictures. :) Glueing museum tickets and stuff like that would also be fun.

  7. So good to have such a document. I like that you write when you travel and draw when you are home. It makes sense to me :)

  8. De combi is toch mooi! Ik maak zelf ook overal verslagjes van. Ik schrijf, teken, stempel en plak in mijn boekjes. Heerlijk om er af en toe in te kijken.

  10. I love those note books from travels, I did those when I was younger all the time, don't know why I've stopped. Sometimes notebooks are better reminder that photos.
    Have you seen that notebook competition/exhibition, you should get involved for sure :)
