Van Heavensong - A Herstory

Another six journal entries by Raven (who hasn't seen Indiana Jones' dad yet but is still keeping her eyes peeled in hope):

Today,
I took apart that watch
I found at the flea market.
I'm amazed at
how everything fits together so
perfectly.

One of
those
stupid
boys
hexed
my
shirt.

VERY FUNNY.
IDIOT.

Oh. My. Goodness. I actually met
HARRY POTTER
in the library today.
THE Harry Potter.

That is, if staring at somebody
from behind "Hogwarts - A History"
counts as "meeting" them. Probably not.

is this creepy??

In transfiguration, we had to
turn a button into a beetle.
I didn't get it... err...
quite right.

I still think it's unfair.
I should have gotten SOME points.

People.
So stupid.

Kevin swapped his
broken watch
for some candy.
Good for me!

Even though it's broken, I
love it. It's rather simple
but still mysteriously beautiful. I
wonder what it is that
replaces the "XII".

(around pocket watch:)
weird symbol
strange mirror effect
I'll try to fix it!


I went out sketching in the forbidden
forest today.
No idea what it was that I saw.
It was incredibly beautiful
and sort of frightening at the same
time, so I was
kinda relieved when it suddenly
disappeared in the underbrush.


I have a feeling someone's developing some serious pocket watch obsession...

WOW!! I really love these pages ^^ I mean, these are actually better than Indiana Jones' dad's journal!
=) I love the soft humor too. How I wish I could do journals like these

Aw, thank you so much! Everyone! (Wow, an award!!) I feel honored by every single comment. It always makes me happy to know that my drawings are enjoyed by some lovely people out there.

@Nancy:
A personal tip and what I myself plan for my future is to just start counting backward once you reach 100. So you've got plenty of time to bring all those wicked ideas into life AND save money on birthday candles. Win-win.

@Linisha:
That little book is a souvenir from Thailand my mum got from a friend. She gave it to me since she doesn't ever draw or write. Good for me! :D It's almost a brownish white and it's got a lot of structure. If you like that kind of paper I'd suggest having a look at one of those fair trade shops or street markets. They often have that sort of handmade "rough" paper.
The pens I use for the journal are PITT artist pens from Faber Castell in sepia (I LOVE sepia!). I originally planned to use sepia ink too, but it just didn't happen. The pens are much more convenient and portable.

Wanted to let you know that when I first saw this sketchbook, like Alex, I thought of Indiana Jones' dad's journal in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". And every time I see that movie (I have it on DVD), I look very closely at the journal and think, my-oh-my, I want my journals to look like that!! Do your regular journals look like this too, or did this new personality bring it out? The composition of the pages, your penmanship, the beautiful sketches...wow!

Absolutely FABULOUS!! So creative!! Have you thought about getting your little journal in print after you're done? What fun THAT would be!!
I've been a little creatively dry lately, your Fake Journal has gotten me juiced up.
