Each month this year, I plan to focus on a different aspect of my creative pursuits to find out where each one fits in my life. In February, I focused on scrapbooking and had a great time accomplishing a ton. For March, I set my intention to focus on art journaling. But, at the beginning of the week, I wasn't really feeling it. I had three photo books I wanted to finish before the sale ended at Shutterfly on March 4th, and I had a huge photo order I received that I organized and then wanted to start scrapping. But, this morning, I set aside those feelings and decided to turn to art journaling.
I started by thumbing through my stack of art journals (complete and in progress) and looking at an art journaling book I received for Christmas. I pulled out some new supplies wanted to use(water color crayons and washi tape) and gathered some images.
And then I began to play! I had so much fun creating these pages. The first one I made from scratch, using the crayons to create the background and then adding layers with lots of my favorite supplies to make something like a bulletin board or graffiti wall. The second two were completed on existing backgrounds. I' really looking forward to playing in my art journals this month!
Just lovely to look at ... and I admire your determination to get out your art stuff despite not really feeling like it.
ReplyDeleteI always love to see your art journaling.
ReplyDeleteLovely pages; I especially like the second one.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy to have your creative mojo back isn't it. I've never really gotten into art journalling but I do love being creative in other ways. Todays creativity is covering grey hairs with dye lol
