Art Journaling Craftalong - 2021

I came across this video. I like how he uses random objects around the house.

I made 2 pages inspired by his video.

Having fun - like @geekgirl - painting my mini composition books. I’m making 3 and I’m thinking that I’ll give one to my mom to doodle in.

I inquired about mine and received a reply from Jacob that he was cancelling my order and issued a refund. Said the shipping to Canada was too much. Very disappointed and sure wish he’d told me when I first ordered, not a month later when I asked about it.

I love these pages very much @geekgirl – really great use of color, texture, and composition. They’re lovely!

Oh that’s terrible! I guess he hadn’t thought out international shipping. Which seems odd.

Here’s a simple art journal video I’ve had saved for a while. Who wants to join me Sunday September 26 at 2pm Eastern time (11 am pacific and 7 pm London time)

You’ll need:

  • paper
  • acrylic paint
  • a brayer or old credit card or something to scrap paint with. You can also use paint brushes or sponges
  • old book pages
  • circle stamps, or circle stencils, or various sizes bottle caps
  • pigment powders such as Magicals or Cosmic Shimmer Shakers - I don’t have either. You can use water colors, grate up some water color crayon or pencil, etc.
  • background stamp. If you don’t have stamps you can use things like bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard
  • black ink
  • distress crayon, gelato, watercolor crayon, etc.
  • white gel pen or paint pen
  • glue/mod podge/ gel medium
  • spray bottle of water
  • heat tool or hair dryer

And, your pages are fabulous, the layering is brilliant.

I love the depth of these pages and the way you’ve been able to layer the neutrals and make really striking pages.

These will be fun to highlight whatever you add to the framed sections!

I’m excited for Sunday, yay!

I’ve been playing along with the Alisa Burke Journal Petite class and I feel like it’s opening my eyes to so many great techniques. Highly recommend! Here are some of the spreads I’ve done so far.

So cool! I love the landscape layout of your journal. I am never happy with my lettering (today’s was blah) but yours is great!!

Well poo, I missed today’s Zoom! But it was for decent reasons. Sorry to miss it, just the same!

Here are my pages from today’s zoom.

And here are the stickers I made before hand with some watercolors and text stamps

The two different backgrounds create totally different moods! I need to find those large circle stickers…I have only been able to find small mailing ones!
