I love art journaling—no surprise to you, I realize! There’s something so satisfying about the assembling of a page—just having fun—with no idea, most of the time, what it’s ultimate purpose will be…
I love using vintage ladies and antique china dolls to illustrate my thoughts. I don’t know why—they just make me happy. I’ll often hold up a page to my daughters and ask, “What does she want to say?” Sometimes I just already know…
Using old book pages is so very wonderful. The texture, the type, the way the paper absorbs your ink—everything about it is different from modern paper…and I love it.
The using of wise words found in the writings of others that have gone before me makes me happy. As I look through my completed journals, their words remind me of things that were important to me that particular day—things that I know I need to improve on in my life…
We all need little reminders as we go throughout our days, don’t we?!
Keeping these journals helps me to do just that…
…while enjoying a happy, inky, gluey, painty mess all at the same time!
See you soon with something new.
Julie
