Hi All. Mark here - of Sketch Book Artists. I'd simply like to preface the following material of this first blog for an acquaintance of mine, Catherine Irwin. I had the pleasure not too long ago to meet with Catherine to find out more about her passion project Smash Booking. I found it could truly be a cosmic experience for many based on my own experiences with personal journaling.
With any luck we'll be successful in inviting Catherine to continue authoring further updates on what is currently a monthly event perhaps a little more frequently? We shall see.

For the month of April
Hi! On Friday, April 12, from 5-7PM CT, I am hosting my monthly on-line Cosmic Smash Gathering. This will be a great time to create a Cosmic Smash Book page with us or to ask questions and learn more about Cosmic Smash Booking. Our theme this month will be "Being Present With the Mystery of Life."
Please let me know if you are interested in joining us and I will provide the zoom information in a reminder e-mail on Thursday.
A Cosmic Smash Book starts with a simple sketchbook or composition notebook that is transformed into a sacred space to connect to the self and our unconscious.
Cosmic Smash Booking was created by Catt Z and combines art journaling and Intentional Creativity (founded by Shiloh Sophia McCloud Lewis and her mentor Sue Hoya Sellars). Cosmic Smash Booking is a fun and empowering process that engages the five senses to process our internal and external worlds. This is an intuitive process that is playful, powerful, and fun!
The four rules of Cosmic Smash Booking are:
There are NO rules!
Don't stop!
Have fun!
When in doubt, go back to Rule #1!
Smash Booking is for people who are looking to have fun, express themselves creatively, and transform feelings and beliefs in a fun and engaging way!
The cool part of Cosmic Smash Booking is that you can use whatever materials you have. I encourage you to use what you have right in front of you.
To create a page, grab your Cosmic Smash Book, sketchbook, or paper, your favorite colouring goodies and/or paint and join us for a fun creative practice.
I know that whatever supplies you have will be perfect! Please let me know if you have any questions. This free online gathering on the second Friday of each month is sponsored by Ladies of Justice.
