When it comes to anything arty I am so impatient.... I was give a 2008 diary the other day - and as it is so close to 2009 I thought this would make a great arty journal - maybe a new Soul Journal. I spend a day sticking the pages together in batches of around six but I did not want to wait for groups to dry so by the mid of August the pages started to wrinkle. Then before the whole was dry I started painting with emulsion (as I still cant find my Gesso) and again I did not want to wait but I only did a few pages... you can see the centre spine is beginning to get a bit sticky. 
This morning before my first trip to PC world I thought what the heck lets start to colour the pages with my trusted Koh-i-noor ink/paint. 
I did a few pages then thought why did I bother with white first lets just colour pages.......You can see that I did not want to wait to spread the paint and it was beginning to flow into patches.. 
The pages are getting more crinkly. 
Now I have just decided to have a look at the previous painted pages as I am just about to set off again to collect the PC (Had that magic phone call to say it is ready) and look what is happening at the centres now - I should really be more patient ! But I do think it looks yummy too!

I know what you mean, waiting is a pain. Anyway, it's looking interesting so I'm sure it has potential.
