Movin' On Up

Triple Thread is my new blog.

Follow my adventures on twitter.

This is my tumblr for inspiration and 365 project.

I've finally decided to start fresh. Well, mainly fresh. If you enjoyed fashlynable, these websites are new and improved. I hope to achieve a more photography focused blog and inspire many. Those are my goals.

Abandonment

(Photo taken by me while on vacation)

Unlike most abandoned things, an abandoned blog does not appeal to me whatsoever. But, I have come to the conclusion that my blog has no spark. It lacks something vital: my own personal interest. I feel like I am writing articles instead of opinions and in general I avoid even logging on to my dashboard anymore. Outfit posts are non existant and my inspiration lacks freshness. I do not want to abandon blogging. I do, however, foresee this becoming a ghost town if I do not take action. I feel like I need a new start to entice my efforts. I've had this blog for over two years and haven't even managed the 100 post milestone. I have no excuses, just facts.

I have ideas on a new blog, one that I'm actually passionate about. For now, I am not shutting down this blog because I want to be able to export posts and comment on things on other blogs.

If you're a reader, don't worry: you will see me around soon ;).

The Drawn Word

Lately, the need to create has overwhelmed me. I'm to the point where I stay up into the wee hours of the morning just abuzz with the possibilities in front of me. I've always had an ever so slight notebook fetish that leads me to spending more of my hard earned money on journals and pens than even clothes. But lately my eyes have been opened to even more possibilities to fill the countless blank pages I've accumulated.

My obsession with art journals started about two years ago when I began taking my first photography class in school. The concept of "altered books" was first introduced to me by my art teacher with an ongoing assignment she has each introductory level student create. After my friend brought the book 1000 Artist Journal Pages to share with me, the obsession truly took flight. Pawing through the volume lead me to believe in the superiority of journals whose authors experiment with different mediums and techniques. While I've yet to begin my own journey through the world of art journaling, I've set aside several for this purpose. 

For more inspiration on art journals, be sure to check out the magazine (more like book with the price but it is worth it) Art Journaling and the blog the notebook doodles. Have fun and be sure to tell me if you have done any work like this!

As for the explanation as to why this took so long, the hotels I have been staying at had no free wifi. I should have researched this before hand, but I haven't been home for a solid three weeks, going on trip to trip. Please forgive me!
