I'm also big on blotting (I should take stock in paper towels maybe). <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your pages! They're lovely! I am always excited by the effects one can make with paint, no matter how many times I do it.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767976043988733602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991473745721643259.post-74212879459266730552011-06-17T10:40:51.145-04:002011-06-17T10:40:51.145-04:00Another good article!

It works best if the page was gessoed before painting. Here are a couple of my pages using it:<br /> http://www.flickr.com/photos/spinjenny/5842551506spinjennyhttp://jennyk.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991473745721643259.post-22475455912688336952011-06-16T17:52:58.892-04:002011-06-16T17:52:58.892-04:00I'm so glad you stopped by, Jen!

To answer your quest...Thanks for reading, Leanne! <br /><br />To answer your questions, most anything is fair game to go into my journal, excepting extremely bulky items. I write, paint, draw...some days I journal quite a bit,writing whatever is on my mind or recording events, and some days I just add visual elements. My journal is my diary, my playground, my record keeper, my labratory...so many things. And I have not written a post specifically talking about what I put in my journals, but I think I will do so in the future during this series. Hope that helps!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767976043988733602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991473745721643259.post-69395774737505136802011-06-15T21:52:05.648-04:002011-06-15T21:52:05.648-04:00I just started art journaling and I needed some i...I just started art journaling and I needed some ideas so thank you so much for that. But I have two questions for you. What do you put in your art journal? Do you write about your day,draw, or just decorate pages. I've looked online and it seems different people use there art journals differently. Another question I have is did you write a article about what you put in your art journal or something similar? Thanks so much!<br /><br />LeanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991473745721643259.post-51479351817620141932011-06-15T21:37:53.584-04:002011-06-15T21:37:53.584-04:00Oh, good!
