The Paper Plane:
Thanks both to Jamie Ridler and Keri Smith to bring back this childhood game to me. I have forgotten how fun it was to fly a paper plane from room to room. For this time, I drew colorful patterns and windows onto the paper plane.
My 1st Installation Art - The Journal Cover:
I tied the paper plane to the journal and pinned several found objects on the cover to make my version of installation art. Not bad!
Cover Up Art:
When I turned to the page which marked: "Doodle over the top of this page and in the marigns", something clicked.
Wrecking is all aobut letting go and step over into the unknown. For me, this also translates to move away from the rules / instructions. So to practice this new found realization, I re-presented "doodle" as "random cover-up" of the original text. Thus created my very original cover up art. :)
The IT Bag:
The wrecking act of "find a way to wear the jouranl" had me created a one-off IT bag. I took it with me and went into the city to have lunch with one of my writing friends. And gee, you couldn't believe the stare I got from peopel! And when I met up with my friend, he asked if I had forgotten to put the book back into my bag. I told him the journal was part of the design of this latest IT bag I got from Canada. And you know what, he believed it! Or maybe he was just being polite. But who cares! I had a blast!!!

The bag is exceptionally stylish. I'm loving the tag too and the addition of paper airplane is just so 'now'! In the words of the legendary British stylist Gok Wan "Go Girlfriend". Check him out on YouTube - the man's a national treasure!

What a great lot of fun you,ve had. I love your IT bag and your paper airplane being part of the cover. So creative.
Letting go is such a simple act, in theory, but in reality, it is such a daunting task. Thank goodness we have this journal to remind us that it is ok to let go!
I just love your "IT Bag!" It's fabulous! :)
Hahaha...LOVE the "installation art" and the bag! So inspiring. :)
Love your airplane - it looks so bright and cheerful and love that you tied it to the front so it can MOVE. I just glued mine back in and it seems sort of stuck there now. Happy wrecking!!
Awesome idea! Love the IT bag! Very inspiring to keep up on my own journal!
Your doodle page looks like a declassified document from the Feds LOL
Big thanks to everyone who left their fantastic comments. It seemed like the IT bag was the big hit! You fellow wreckers rock! ;)
Definitely the chic-ist journal wearable I've seen yet. And such lovely photogenic poses by your fashionista model, too! Actually, I loved that you put windows on your little plane. Too cute (playful, too).
Creating the IT bag... divine! So creative. Your paper airplane is quite pretty as well. Happy wrecking!
