I always think of visual journaling or collage as problem solving. Figuring out how to marry different elements together. Intuitively placing shapes, images, colors, and text together in a way that is pleasing to the eye. My eye specifically.
Buck has a good eye for a warm bed with a furry top blanket.
I am in a perpetual state of amazement lately at how the Universe sends us just what we need just when we need it the most…and I am about to jump into the artjournalsphere like never before…part of my new self love, and just making art for the sake of making art…just for me. What a concept!
All of this to say thanks so much for sharing yours! I’ll be back to visit soon!
Oh! And love the cat posse! Ours is down to 2 very spoiled little princesses..can’t imagine life without them!
I can really see the increased surface layering here and the large images. Your portraits are v. cool. I’m afraid of that kind of drawing in my journal, but I’m going to give it a shot. It really adds. And the HANDS! luv it.
about to watch these, but Have to comment on Buck. does he ever sleep completely under the covers? every morning this winter, I have to go uncover Scout and make her get out of bed. She’s a limp noodle.
it’s kind of annoying.
Yes, I think of them as pretty little puzzles! Love seeing the pages turning. The top image is so happy! On this gross rainy day it made me cheer up a bit! Thank you!
wow, where i have i been? these are terrific videos, and such a generous thing for you to do. i’m with julie – love hearing the pages turn. v.v.cool.
Thanks for sharing these ! I too love hearing the pages turn, and seeing the little envelopes, irregular bits of paper, fabrics and all kinds of STUFF in the journals ! I understand that you also live in a flight-path !
Happy creating !
Thank you for this. I was beginning to despair but I shall press on. Can’t believe none of the posse tried to make a cameo!
I adore these peeks into your journals…it is just inspiring for me. Thank you, again, for sharing!
Peace & Love,

I love watching these at the same time.. Love hearing the pages turn too..
I’m anticipating a niche on one of the sides here for Journal Movies. We who follow you (some of us anyway) would like to know specifics of how to do this filming thing.
Did you go back to school today? Were the monkeys insane with delight to see you?
These are yummy too! It is really fun to see your transition to your current style.
Thank you for taking the time to send your suggestions…I will try them and appreciate the thoughtfulness.
