April 5th: Your Daily Creative Journey

Feel free to add images, or doodle or completely change it! Also, if any of you would like, you can send email me your images and I'll put them all in a gallery on the blog!

(You can click on the image, and then right-click and save as to your computer, then print it out and have fun! They will be sized to about a 5"x8" but if you want larger, you can always print it a bit bigger in your printer output settings.)

Happy Tuesday! And Happy Journaling!

 

...Like I needed another a 'thing' to do....

I made that! Really---from plain bookboards, paper, a ribbon, book cloth and glue, I put together that book! Always knew I loved books and paper, but here is the marriage of all my passions...now I can make the journals I love to use, handpaint the outsides or use my own artwork as covers and offer them to others to buy! No more searching and searching for journals I will 'make do with' and yes, that shows how fussy I am about them.

The class I took last night was offered by the fantastic Chris Williams of Christen Marie Designs at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

new journals, creative art journaling and inspiration

Journal I put together....I know I know, stop rebuilding the journal and fill it, right?

Mostly this one is filled with #90 or #140 watercolor hot press (Fabriano Artistico, Lanaquarelle, Winsor Newton, and Arches) and Gutenberg....It is all VERY lovely paper to draw, paint, write and dream on!

 

This is the outside, a lovely Cavallini sheet of 'treats'.... yummy...:-)

Journal measures 8.5" x 12.5" with a spine of 2". It has hard covers and spine and is a really good and sturdy book.

I finished teaching a Creative Art Journaling class last night and I really have to say—I LOVE TEACHING! Truly, I have MORE ideas for my next class, and it just keeps evolving which is so fun and exciting. I am finding that the more I teach, the more I get inspired and want to share this with more people. Journaling has taught me so much about myself that I want everyone who is willing to have the same experience.

So, I am going to work on getting a day-long 'journal camp' put together and I'll keep you all posted!

Also, I am going to be a vendor and have a table at the Illumination Conference February 26, 2011. I will have as many handpainted one-of-a-kind journals (ready for you to fill up!) as I can get done between today and February 25.

Class update

 

This is from the first page of our journal for class. That's part of the class, and a quarter of the grade, 1 FILLED sketchbook! LOVE MY CLASS. Its great. I will start posting some pictures of the current project soon. I've learned a lot in just 4 classes, and I'm excited to learn more. :-) We've only had two hours of painting time so far, and I have set up my easel in our upstairs spare bedroom so I can spend more time painting. Now that I'm really learning the right way to paint, I know I'll do it more... its fun and I feel like doors are opening in my brain!
