several years ago i challenged myself to create a little heart every day using watercolor pencils. each sketch was done on a scrap piece of watercolor paper, and then bound into an accordion spine journal structure. i didn't keep up with the challenge for very long, but it was a fun experiment and now i have a little collection of watercolor hearts to look back on!
here's a little sneak peek into my journal!

Lovely! Love this idea of using scap piece of paper. Your so inspiring! Bonne journée!
I loved seeing your watercolors. Is there a name for the method of journal binding with an accordion pleat and string? That's a great idea.
great little works of great art!
what a beautiful project and little book of hearts... i love your watercolors! :)
NAUGHTY You Tube is not responding tonight - so I will be back in the morning when everyone over the pond is asleep - I guess lots of folks are looking on there
Can't wait to see your tutorial
what a wonderful idea, and a perfect solution for those of us who get blocked- just take a piece of paper and draw something simple, and keep at it. What beauty!
thanks for sharing, lori.....what a great idea...a heart a day....beautiful
Absolutely darling!!! What a lovely keepsake and a sweet, quick way to incorporate a little bit of art time into each day! Hugs, Terri
I seem to collect all things hearts and love all hearts...♥ What a great idea, lori! Beautiful! ♥k
Very special and what a fabulous suggestion!! One little heart per day would surely add more color to my life!
This is such a sweet little book of hearts. A lovely gift would be so easy to make for someone special in your life. Love your art Lori...
love the idea of a repeated image
lovely and amazing work :-)
Sweet! Lori, i love how you do everything in such an orderly and perfect manner! I wish i was more like you in that respect. Have so many< sketches just lying around ... Have a lovely day!
I love the idea of a heart a day, and you bound it into such a nice little book of art. It's an inspiring idea--to find an image to create each day, maybe as a kind of warm-up before other work. (As if I have that kind of time...it would be THE work, if I did it!)
Love it, Lori. What a cute little collection and how VERY inspiring indeed. :) Hmmm....maybe I should challange myself.... :D
