I am coming to the end of my class where I have been taking my notes in Art Journaling form – I am also coming to the end of my Journal that has been serving as my class notebook. Would I do it again? I think so. It was hard to take notes on the [...]

Sketchbook Challenge – Sue’s Tissue Pages
I am cross-training here – LOL. The lines between my Art Journaling Every Day participation and The Sketchbook Challenge are totally blurred. A few weeks ago, at the end of March sometime, Sue Bleiweis did a post on the Sketchbook Challenge about tissue paper, brayers and altered books. I had everything except a piece of [...]
Art Journaling Every Day – More Class notes
To clear up a misunderstanding from the last post – I am using this notebook for notes in a classroom-type class. It is not an art class or a journaling class it is a class I take on Monday nights with Landmark Education. Landmark is a Global Educational Company that provides an affordable and quick [...]
At the Zoo – Keep an Art Journal
Between the Sketchbook Challenge and Art Journaling Every Day – I needed to come up with more subject matter, or inspiration if you please, more material to keep me interested in practicing sketching, doodling, painting, journaling, you know, my artistic growth. I decided we MUST go to the zoo. It was the first time I’ve [...]
Alley Cats and Prairie Dogs – Sketchbook Challenge – Keep An Art Journal
My niece suggested a variation of cats as an opposite of dogs which got my mind to work on what cat would be an opposite of the prairie dog and the more I thought of it the better alley cats fit the bill. Cities abhor prairie dogs, they might disclaim alley cats, but despite Animal [...]
Sketchbook Challenge #3 – Sketchbook Plan C
I want to make my own Sketchbook for this year’s Sketchbook Challenge. Previous posts showed my first try i.e. the New Year idea. That first sketchbook is very cute and not practical at all i.e. it cannot travel. C’est la vie – I moved on to Plan B! I would make my own cover add [...]
Test Driving My New Toy – Tool, Keep an Art Journal
Now that I’m all grown up and am Santa Claus, or at least Mrs. Claus, I get the best toys! And the best deals, some times those 50% off coupons can really make a difference! I generally don’t like to buy punchers or punches, because I don’t want my stuff to look like everyone else’s [...]
Round Robin – My Zen Garden – Keep an Art Journal
The Round Robin has been staggering around my studio since late July. I’m a criminal. A lot has been happening and the Round Robin, whose subject is “My Zen Garden” has weathered it all, up high, in a drawer, even in a packing box. All through Mini-Camp, taking apart the studio, adding the big drawers, [...]
Art Journaling Club – Teaching Myself Teesha 3
Moving right along in the process the next You Tube video Teesha Moore Journaling Part 2 of 4 continues demonstrating Teesha’s technique with bordering the pages and begins to add focal collage images – now the fun really begins. When I got to this part I worried that it would feel kind of like an [...]
New Journal Pages – Keep an Art Journal
These new pages are a combination of collage on painted and stamped pages with decorative tape and some stickers. My journaling i.e. writing, has dried up the last couple of days. Maybe because I have been blogging and writing the newsletter my writing needs have been met this week. In the meantime I will keep [...]
