Art Journal: Mixed Media

This week my art journal put on some inches! I wanted to indulge in some mixed media, and realized that it can quickly fatten an art journal. The Happy Planner that I'm using allows me to take out pages, so I'll be experimenting with that.

See for yourself!

 

Inspired my Michael Holt's song, The Couch.

Thursday morning, absolutely zero motivation to do art. I preferred the couch, but

finally followed the adage "Just Start". And I went fast, just picking up whatever was on

my table. I don't remember how the rosette happened, but I found a tutorial on YouTube and went 

for it. It's a little smushed from being in the closed journal, but that's okay.

 

Friday, I stayed with all collage and just used scraps.

Back to Mixed Media on Friday, I added some line work and textile to the collage.

Saturday found me exploring mini-folios and using scraps. 

The butterfly holds this one shut. Inside, a little mixed media.

The finished page:

Sunday, Lar and I went to the theater and saw "Murder on the Orient Express". I used the program and some junk journaling scraps for my collage on Monday and Tuesday.

I'll end this post with some junk journaling techniques that I learned: hidden paper clips and mini notebooks from Pink Monarch Prints tutorials on YouTube. Lots of possibilities!!

Thanks for keeping me company on this rainy Wednesday. I hope you connected with something here. That's what it's all about. (And we thought it was the Hokey Pokey.)
