Journaling into your backgrounds
Playing around with papers and paints -- thursday3 style
Behind the Page
I pulled one of the pages I made earlier in the week to document some Thursday3 for today. The tags made it super easy to just journal right into the background of the paper. Stencils are great for this, it doesn’t even have to be tags. Whatever gives you some distinct spaces around the page.
Technique of the Day

Today, I experimented a little with layering them and doing some handwriting. It’s fine. I don’t love how it looks, I think I’d like it would look better if I had some thin black ink over the top — maybe I’ll try that tomorrow?

Each line of your Thursday3 journaling reflects how you see yourself evolving over time. This allows you to document changes in your personal identity in a simple and easy way.
