Visual Journal Page
Here’s a page from yesterday. You can’t read all of the journaling because the size of my journal exceeds the size of my scanner bed.

Journaling
I’ve been doing a lot of visual journaling lately. I’ll share a page with you at the end of this post. Digging out my art supplies and rooting through images to use, makes me wish I’d done a better job of keeping a visual journal during our trips to Nationls for Diva’s dance team. I especially think our Branson would have made an awesome travel journal. We were nestled in the mountains in the most wonderful bed and breakfast. Hot apple pie and fresh cookies and ice cream each evening. What more could you want?
Anyway, I digress. Journaling.
My current journal spread is pretty bizarre. I took a picture of an elderly oriental lady with long white hair, and I’m seeing how much I can change her appearance with just markers and watercolor pencils. It’s been fun, but my daughter thinks I’ve lost my mind. Hate to tell her, but it was gone a long, long time ago.
Here’s a spread to tide you over until I’m done with the wierd one.

Magazine cutouts, an old key, old button, used found piece of writing paper, old postage stamps, some fiber( I luvs my fiber, ya know–spin it, knit it, collage it—-fiber, fiber, fiber). I love to take traditional art supplies and use them or abuse them in new and creative ways. Scrapbooking supplies are fun to use, too. Blank Journals and notebooks come alive with a little visual journaling or art journaling. Rubber stamps are also a favorite.

Old sheet music and other old papers, using the technique where you put petrolium jelly on the places you don’t want paint, paint the whole page, let it dry, and then wipe with a cloth to uncover what you hid under the jelly. It makes the page look as though the paint it peeling. On top of that is old buttons and magazine cutouts. This is a fun one to try.
