Art Journal Mojo

Which of these things is not like the other?

I've been hitting the journal pretty hard lately. I go from lull to excess without skipping a beat. When I'm in an overwhelmed* state, it feels really good to journal it out. How about you?

 

Circling the Grid

 

Making art in a book is so much less stressful than making Art. And there is Brenda Ueland again with one of my favorite quotes - feel free to use it. It's a great reminder.

 

Dawdling and Puttering

 

Everyone needs a dawdle and a putter sometimes. Watercolors, stencils, stamps, pen and a bit of collage.

 

If you paint them, they will come

 

And now the tulips, daffodils and flowering trees have come. As I write, I wear one cozy slipper and one Birkenstock. Such is the nature of April and art journaling.

And a question. Who wants a very beginner art journal class. Crayons, simple collage, kid's watercolors and a pen? Which of you, lovely readers, are simply reading and wanting to work in a journal but feeling overwhelmed?

*All is on schedule with The Wedding, however, the MOB is feeling a bit stressy. This is strictly emotional and not logistical.
