| Journal Page using watercolors & water brush |
I may have already written a post with the same title...but, I just can't think of anything else. I just LOVE my art journal. So that title is totally stuck in my head. Journal Love.
I started a new journal this past summer. I bought one to work in for
Kristin's Summer of Color. After Summer of Color (fabulous-ness) ended, I had lots of pages left. My goal is to have it finished before 2012. I want it to represent my art from 2011. No pressure though...I try to make my journal a pressure free place. Just fun, experimentation, joy, feelings, ideas...all that good stuff (and bad too!).

I love how it is getting fatter & fatter. I can't wait to see what it looks like when I am all finished.
The other night, while I was watching Project Accessory (yes, totally sucked in. I love Project Runway. So naturally I am watching the spin off. But I am missing my Tim Gunn!) I pulled out my watercolors, water brush, and journal. I didn't put too much thought into it...and just painted. My water brush is fairly new, so I am having tons of fun playing around with it. I like that I can take my water brush with me anywhere. My studio is upstairs, so I love how convenient it is to move around.
Do you have a little portable art kit you take with you?

Happy Journaling!
That is a good title. :) Great pages!
ReplyDeleteLovely page Sadie, I love how my journals grow fatter and fatter too. Although because I'm always making more I end up hardly ever finshing one because I've usually got ten on the go at once - insane! Thanks for sharing, much love Jennibellie x
ReplyDeleteWonderful page, and yes I just started using my waterbrush--it's fun to use!
ReplyDeletethose pages are gorgeous! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCool page and I like Journal Love. Isn't it fun to see your journal expand and grow? Later you can sit and page through it and remember all the fun you had making it.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a "to go" art kit. My studio is right off the family room so I'm right in the midst of things if I want to create.
Beautiful pages! Thanks for visiting my blog- I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteYeah... Love is all we need! every human would seek....very nice painting
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! I missed a lot from your blog. Sorry if I haven't visited you for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteI love notebooks and journals too, especially if its handmade. I hope I could see and touch each page of your art from the heart journal. She is a piece of priceless beauty.
And the title you chose for your journal is so fitting. Simple but very true message. I can relate!
Love how your journal is getting "fatter and fatter," too! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors and rhythm!
All the best,

No. I don't have a portable art kit, but my art/craft room is down stairs in the conservatory and my arty bits are usually scattered about in every room LOL!!

ReplyDeleteAND I LOVE this post . . .first of all, you should know that your dedication to your pages have really inspired me to get into one of my own - just bought a large Moleskine from Aaron Brothers and I can't wait to use it - I was thinking of your coffee page when I bought it!
I love the idea of your doing a book for the year too - I will be doing that with Life Book starting Jan, can't wait.
Lastly, those are some really great shots - I LOVE the second picture especially, xoxo
your pages and blog for that matter are so happy and inspiring. I think you can have a whole chapter or even a book called journal love :) I have seen those brushes but haven't bought them yet. I hear all the raves, so I should try them out for myself.
