Photos, Photos, Photos.

Here are some photographs of my art journal and a few other bits as well.

This is the first page of my new journal.

This was a  therapy page, underneath the painting you had to write down your negative thoughts and then add a positive phrase on top that those thoughts were pushing you towards.

The cover of my first journal.

It soon gets thick with all the embellishments.

Just a couple of the pages where I tried out new things.

A lot of the pages are me trying out new techniques or mediums.

Just glued on loads of random stuff and then painted it!

One of my favourite things is playing with ink.

This is just me practicing eyes and faces.

A bit of embroidery.

This one's painted upside down in my journal as I wasn't paying attention!

These sample cards are what is in the pocket below.

First play with Pan Pastels.

Both this and the flowers above are stamps coloured with watercolour.

A bit of therapeutic zentangling. 

This is a work in progress, it's felted together and is for a wheat and lavender sachet. 

Flowers made with a paper punch.

 They may not be great works of art but I had fun with each and every one.  There are a lot more pages in my journal but as it's also a diary I have kept those private.  I hope this encourages you to have a go at something yourself, whether its journalling, card making, painting or sewing, just have fun.

All my love
