I recently created a handmade journal in an online workshop hosted by Amy Maricle of Mindful Art Studios and Ali Manning of the Vintage Page Designs. Lately I’ve been immersing myself in creating botanical designs in the journal.
I’m trying out different things like using my brushes in new ways, mark making and just having plain old fashioned fun. What I love is that it keeps you in the creative zone even if you only have a small amount of time to spare.
It’s not about making an elaborate painting or drawing unless that’s what you’re aiming for. But instead I make my marks, don’t always like them and then use my creative imagination to save it π But that’s where the fun is because you never know where it will end up π
Hope this inspires you to get out your supplies and starting playing! Thanks for stopping by!!

A beautiful display. Having fun is something we forget to do as we get older. I think it’s an important task that we should make time for. Well done, your journal pages look amazing. π·π·

I’m really enjoying going back over your blog . I love seeing how you’re using your handmade journal. I’ve almost completely filled in my first journal. I’m glad I made two right away.
