Friday Flip
Welcome to the first Friday Flip post. At least two Fridays a month I will post pictures and descriptions of some of my journal pages. A couple of years ago I started adding more doodling and mark making in my journals and low and behold there is a name for that kind of activity... art journaling! These are works in progress and if you keep an art journal you know they are never quite finished. I have kept journals for a long time, mostly for writing down my thoughts and making lists of everything under the sun so the "art" part of it is a scary step for me. Come along with me and hopefully see some improvement along the way!
I started off by making a journal using two pretty file folders. I glued them together to make them a little sturdier then I grabbed some random bits of watercolor and mixed media papers and spiral bound them together using my Zutter bind-it-all. I have a little watercolor kit that I used to play around on the page and I am always in search of a great permanent ink black pen. Just like a magpie I collect little bits of things that catch my eye and they wind up taped or glued to the page as well.
Talk to you again soon.
