Art Journal Every Day: A New Journal Begins: June 2019
May 22, 2020
If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, the concept is simple: It's a commitment to take ten minutes each day to do something in your art journal. No need to finish anything or even like it. It's about making the time to nourish your creativity every day! If you have the time to flip through your phone, you have the time to Art Journal Every Day. If you'd like to share what you make, use the hashtag #artjournaleveryday so that we can all take a peek. You can find new Art Journal Every Day posts here on the blog most Fridays. The archives go back to the first Art Journal Every Day post in 2010.
Today I'm sharing the first few pages of the daily journal I started back in June 2019. This first spread is the "end papers" for my journal.
It's made up of lots of deli paper scraps...
...and a paper cut I made from a drawing:
I try to put the year in the front of all of my art journals. I have enough now, that I just can't remember what came when.
As you know I work in a Junque Journal and sometimes I simply cannot bring myself to cover up that junque. So here is a spread where I embraced the junque instead of cutting it out:
These are prints I made using a rotating repeat stamp and a custom colored ink pad:
And finally, the journaling begins:
These are stickers of some of my favorite art supplies:
So there you have it! I hope you'll do some art journaling this weekend.
PS: I've got a live online art journaling class coming up. It's all about writing -- what to write, how to disguise your handwriting, how different tools create different marks, etc. You can learn more HERE.
