March Art Journaling Round Up

Well, Coronavirus is HERE!  And I had something to say about that this month ....

March started with a blog about mixed media art and collage - the line is blurred between them, if there is indeed a line at all.  I made a quick animation of an art journal page about the feather footed flower bee to show a way to collage in your art journal.  Here's the animation:

I also looked at art journaling as a creative process and discuss my take on what this means.  I think I may write a follow up blog to this showing how the creative process can work in an art journal.

My next post was the aforementioned response to Coronavirus.  Being stuck at home is a very different situation to a working week and many people have struggled with it.  In this post I offer a little help with details on how to go about creating an art journal page.  I keep it simple so that most people should have the resources needed.  Here's a short animation showing the steps I took:

Example art journal page about corona


My final post of March was also an animation, about the joy of flowers.  This is not specifically about art journaling but flowers do come in to a lot of my art and in this time of isolation they can bring joy.

Thanks for stopping by

Stay safe

January Art Journaling Round Up

I started my January blogging by looking at how art journaling might help during grieving .  Grieving is such a deeply personal process it seems art journaling would be a cathartic activity for exploring the source of grief.  Others have written more in depth about the grieving process itself  and how to make a grief journal . Next up I wrote about background techniques you can use in your art journal .  Background techniques are a great opportunity to have fun, experiment, be spontaneous and even messy.  I love them!  There are other great tutorials on the w...

February Art Journaling Round Up

I'm just going to say .... February is a blur!  Where did it go?  I've written 6 blog posts and filmed 6 art journal spreads for my upcoming course which starts Wednesday 4th March.  The sun is out today which is tempting me outside but I have support materials to prepare so that will have to wait. My first blog post of February was on the Joy of Art Journaling  - a little art journal page breakdown on a more cheerful note.  The next week of February I looked at Challenges of a Daily Art Journaling Practice .  I make some suggestions for approaches to connecting with your journal every day despite limitations.  There's a lovely post which breaks art journaling down into steps that could be taken each day .  Art journaling is such a supportive community.  For a brilliant list of prompts check out this  post about art journaling prompts  - prompts are a really great way to break the creative block that often arises when you have f...
