Over that last couple of months, I’ve been playing and playing with making art journals for my e-course. I have 4 going right now which has been so much fun. I love them all stacked up together.
I love journals with lots of color, texture, pages overflowing with things peeking out and hanging over the edges. So fun. My favorite right now, is working on children’s board books. Covering them up completely, making a whole new book of my own… Bliss!

I’ve been scouring the web looking for more inspiration. I’ve always admired those able to consistently create in their art journals. What helps me is getting the base layers done on many pages. Then, when I’m up for it, I have something to grab and can start with the fun stuff straight away.
I also have a collection of inspiration started over on my Pinterest page.
