Vent: My gel pen exploded on my mood tracker

I was almost done coloring in my mood tracker for the month when my pen leaked everywhere. The ink went through the paper and messed up my next weekly spread too. I tried to blot it with a tissue, but now the pages are all warped and stained. How do you handle big mistakes like this in your journal? I'm stuck on whether to rip the pages out or just work around it.

Ever tried turning the stain into art? I did.

Oh man, I read about this artist who only uses coffee spills and wine stains on napkins as her canvas. She outlines them with ink to make these wild little creatures. It's actually pretty cool, turning an accident into the whole point of the piece.

But why force art when you can just start fresh, @jenkins.richard?
