I wanted to show you more of my weeklong-daily art journal. I’ve been focusing more on this lately as opposed to making art journal pages. I enjoy this process a lot and so I am doing what makes me happy for now. I generally start by creating some overall design for the page like this:
this one has one day’s worth writing just cause I didn’t take any photos of it all empty. I cut out those flowers from a fabric. Glued them down and then painted the background with some watercolors.
I used stamps, Souffle pens, watercolor, paper and other fun things to add a small amount every day. No pressure and just fun.
Here’s the left page:
and the right page:
and I even stamped on my fabric cause I wanted to:
And now here it is full:
And there we are.
I love making these pages.
Weekly Art Journal is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here. And you can find out more about the weeklong daily journaling here.
If I weren’t such a damn perfectionist, I’d start mine NOW! I was inspired by the last post. This is pushing me…one week from Friday…the countdown begins. I have all my supplies, my new visual journal and on April 1st, I’m so there. Thank you, thank you for this.
I have always wanted to dip my toes in art journaling but I find it SO intimidating! after your post about this week-long journaling, I am almost ready to give it a real try! thanks for the inspiration
this is gorgeous, karen! i love all the different techniques you used, from stamping to painting and stamping.
This is unbelievably stunning!!! May I ask what sort of journal you use? I would LOVE to try this. I already journal but it’s just ink and paper. I’d love to try my hand at creating something so beautiful.
I love the way you’ve created this journal! thanks for sharing!
AMAZING! You’re knocking me out!
What is the book you are using? I really want a horizontal journal… and your talent, please? :c)
i am using the watercolor moleskine size A4.
and you’re so kind 🙂
