My 5th video tutorial is now up on Youtube and can be linked here. I tried to show the many ways to use dustless blending chalks in your visual journals. I have been a little frustrated with the Inkadinkadoo brand chalks, and the lovely little travel size chalks called Chalklettes which have become increasingly hard to find. My friend, Felicia, at Guiry's presented a new chalk product made by Pebbles for me to try out and I am sold! At first I thought they only came in an over-sized kit with tools I really didn't need (like a special eraser and many templates that were just too cutesy) but then I found a smaller, travel size kit that I love. The smaller kit will be carried (in the Denver area) by Kozo and Guiry's, othewise it can be found on a few web sites. I found mine on scrapbook.com, the total with shipping came to approx. $13.00. Have some fun!
 Finally! I had a few days to wander around New York last week. My only goal was finding perfect journal spots and staying hydrated (iced coffee is my drink of choice). OMG, it was such a great trip. I made it to the Highline which was absolutely magical. This is an elevated garden/park with the most amazing views. Thanks to the planners who included many comfy chairs, tables, benches...a perfect homage to a public space that is alive with wonder. Other neighborhoods that offered (more) iced coffee and great journal spots: Chelsea, East and West Village, Hell's Kitchen, Upper East and mid-town. Of course I found a few fabulous bakeries, even a most amazing shop that just sells gourmet biscotti (www.biscolatte.com). Yes, it was all I was hoping for. I can't wait to plan a trip for others interested in "adventure journaling". If you like the idea of experiencing this one-of-a-kind city from the neighborhoods and shady spots to sketch or photograph then join me on the next trip!   | AuthorJudith Cassel-Mamet ArchivesMay 2012 CategoriesAll |
