Art Journal Every Day: Striped Heart Pattern in Fast Forward

If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here.  All of the previous posts can be found archived here.  There is a flickr group for sharing right here.  Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day!  No need to finish anything or even like it.  If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post.  Thanks!

Art journaling can be defined in so many ways.  Personally, I'm a fan of defining it as broadly as possible.  My definition is: any art done in a book that reflects you at that moment you created it.  There are lots of styles of art journaling: lots of text, no text, drawings, photos, doodles, intensely filled pages, lots of white space, painted, inked, collaged, etc.  I work on many journals at the same time.  Over the next few weeks I'm going to be sharing some work from my non-every day journal.  I hope you'll enjoy the change of pace.

First up, I've been doing my #28patterns in an art journal.  Yesterday I decided to videotape the process of the pattern coming together.  I've speeded things up to just over 3 minutes with some voice-over narration.

And here's the pattern:
