Art Journaling!!!

Sorry this post & Video is going up a little slow this time around.. was down with a cold and a couple other things earlier this week. I finally got my FULL voice back and was able to voice over this baby. We built upon the lesson from the week before with more mark making tools and did some REVERSE STENCILING!

I promise it's a lot easier to do than it looks -- it's all about layers and building up. Here's the video followed by some closeup shots. Feel free to join my facebook group and share your interpretation plus see those of others!

Art Journaling {July}

Art Journaling... art journaling... it is so superb. for the soul, for the heart, for the mind.

I talk a lot in class about how the girls can make their pages as personal or non personal as they want... and that it will never be a requirement to share them. I always just hope that people learn new techniques, tools, supplies or even just gain a little inspiration from my pages.

Which brings me to July's first art journaling class -- I shared some tips n tricks on incorporating handwriting into your art journaling. We chatted about making your swoops taller, your tails longer and exaggerating your curves. We also talked about stretching out your letters and squeezing them closer together. Then we isolated some areas, covered some up, and just had fun with color. I also introduced Woodies, a new to class water soluble crayon by Stabilo.

We used some of the newest stamps I designed for Viva Las VegaStamps! and a stabilo marks all pencil as well. Here's the full how to video:
