Here’s the next page:
The full text reads: You must get really quiet before you can hear the whispers of your heart.
Here are some details from the page:
I created this page at night but I wanted to videotape so you could see my process a bit so here it is, even though it’s dark and the camera kept slipping for inexplicable reasons. I am not a professional video-taper and have no desire to be right now so proceed at your own risk. The only thing I did before the video started was use yellow pan pastels to cover the background.
I am creating multiple art journaling pages a week for July and August (and maybe longer). You can read more about it and the book I am using for these pages at the top of this blog post.
This is gorgeous! I love the warmth of it and the depth you are getting in these latest pages. Truly stunning!
thank you so much Jen!!
I love your art and how you share so generously. THe video was very inspiring.
I’d love to know what products you used to color the ripped out pages, the background of the heart, and punchinella circles. It would interesting for me to know what you used to rubbed the colors on. I have not taken the 3 hearts class yet. I know you have referred those techniques in the past.
Please share whatever you can.
I would love alternatives to acrylics.
Thanks so much.

sorry for the delay! here are the answers: to color the ripped pages: antique linen distress stain, the background of the heart is pan pastels, to outline the heart i used shiva paintstiks, for the punchinella, i used chalk ink. pan pastels have a special applicator sponge so i used those. Does that make sense? let me know if i missed anything. 🙂
I just started following you on your daily journal. I love what I see and I hear what you say. Your pages are colorful and simple at the same time. I am glad that you ripped your page out of the pad, I like what the sew does to pages. If I can ask, how will you bind these when they are done?
Thank you for sharing. Mary Anne P.
thanks so so much. to be honest, i had no idea but i finally figured it out and bound them all, i will tell you all about it when all the pages are finished and I even made a video about it – so I hope you’ll come back it’s scheduled for September 21. 🙂
Karen, OH my beating heart … I love you more than ever!
Thank YOU so much for echoing the beauty of your truth … it has reached my heart in such a profound way and I am spurred on to step into my truth.
thank you so so so much for your kind words 🙂
this is so wonderful, love the words and the colors you picked out. love how you rip these pages out now and add stitching to them. thank you again for inspiring and sharing your art with us.
WOW, your boys are so cute! I followed you here from the Big Idea Festival (BIF) online class. Same as you I am trying to get caught up with things. For me this means submitting my Day 9: FREE entry for the BIF and blogging about it. I also plan to submit and blog on day 10 and 11. One more day and the 12 days are over. I’ve really enjoyed doing this but the last part has been tough due to school starting soon for my niece and helping my family with other concerns. Anywayyyy I didn’t mean to linger on just wanted to say I’m a new follower and plan to check out the FREE Embrace Imperfections class. I also plan to blog about it and let my reader get the info as well. Thanks for sharing your talents.

always feel free to linger 🙂 🙂 i hope you like embrace imperfection. feel free to let me know. thank you so so much for your kind words!! 🙂
Will do;-)
Lovely. 🙂 Made me think of the song ‘Follow your heart’ from Urinetown — do you know it? http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/urinetown/followyourheart.htm
no! I never did see that musical, i totally should!
Wonderful art journaling! I have been looking at your art journals for awhile now but have never commented. I want to say I really love this video that you made! It was so cool to see art journaling in action, something that I’ve never seen. I do have a few art supplies but now I want more! Especially that little stencil you use to make those little dots…all this time I thought that was bubble wrap. 🙂
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration! I will start an art journal one of these days…
that stencil is sequin waste and you can get it for super super cheap. it’s my very favorite thing to use cause it’s texture but it’s also light and airy 🙂 i hope you start soon. i have come to truly love and look forward to my art journaling time.
I love the videos you’ve been making. so interesting to follow your process. I’m new to art journaling and have limited supplies, but enjoying it non the less. I love the sound track for this video. What is it?
It’s Jewel. Isn’t she amazing?
Karen, thanks so much for posting the videos. This one in particular. I feel it might not be so difficult after all when I watch this.
I have a few questions. 1. What is the clear, watery glue you used? 2. What color of distress stain did you use? 3. What is the reddish crayon you used. It looks very creamy and smooth. 4. What is the white paint you used? Is it heavy body?
ok let’s see if I get them right. The clear glue is fabritac. I use that more often than anything else. The distrees stain is Vintage photo. Makes everything look a bit more vintage-y. reddish crayon is Shiva Paintstiks. It is creamy and smooth 🙂 the white paint I used is heavy body Liquitex white paint. I strongly prefer the heavy body over fluid. (unless it’s the ink!s which is the other extreme) did i miss anything?
oops I was wrong the stain is antique linen! sorry about that!
Btw, thanks for always answering my questions!
Such an inspiration… thank you so much.
Loved your work and your video. Thanks for showing us….
