Lest you think I forgot about my Art Journal, I am still working on it.
Here’s what I did, I went through all the books and magazines I have and marked the pages that inspired me and ideas I wanted to try and I am just doing one every day. So far, so good. I will try to keep going and maybe post updates on Fridays or something. I could do it daily but I didn’t want to annoy you with so many posts a day.
But then I worried it would be too many photos. So what do you prefer? One post a week or updates daily?
Here’s what I’ve done recently.
A page inspired by one of the projects in Artistic Mom. This page is not done yet, I’ve been staring at it for days but I still haven’t decided how to complete it.
This next page was inspired by Ruth Rae in her book. I first did the dress, then covered the page with fabric and stitched.

Can’t see but the fabric is really shiny.
And this page just uses some stamping and copic coloring. Just for fun.
One of the few things I didn’t do from my list of 52 tags last year was doodling. So I did some masking, inking, and doodling on this page. Now you know why I don’t doodle 🙂
And finally, this one is inspired by a piece of art in Somerset Apprentice Volume 1.
Lest you think I am not actually using this as a journal, I have also started writing daily. Not a lot but just small thoughts.
And here we are.
I love the accept yourself one.
I really don’t have an opinion as to how often you post…I read through my google reader and am delighted whenever yours pops up.
Do it whichever way you want to.
Lovely.
Love the dress. enjoyed seeing the variety that you had done over the week all together in one post.
I love the variety of your pages and the use of different techniques. The tree is my favorite. I enjoyed seeing the progression all on one post, although I do read you every day.
I also loved the Accept Yourself page and the cute doodled butterflies. It adds a bit of authenticity I think, I bit of ‘you’. I do like seeing several pages in the one post, but like Jan I visit your site every day. Pure inspiration 🙂 I haven’t been game to buy a copic marker yet, but how interesting that it looked soft on the page, like watercolour, not like you’d expect a pen to?
