I’ve created junk journals before but never created a cover from an old book. Well instead of a book, I used the cover of a planner book. I learn this way of making a junk journal from this course of Roben Marie. First of all I secured the spine by wrapping it with a painted …
I had a lot of fun creating this Pop-Up Fringe Journal, following the step-by-step guide in this online course by Roben-marie. I didn’t have the tags of the file folders, but I created everything from scratch and put together this cute and colorful art journal.
This journal was created inspired by Eugénie Billotte from whom I learned art journaling in week 6 of Wanderlust 2024.
To create this little journal, I used just two A3 sheets. I cut each A3 sheet into four A5 sheets, giving me a total of eight sheets. I painted the backgrounds on all eight sheets, front and back. For the cover, I used a slightly heavier cardstock paper, painted the front using the same technique, and pasted a colored paper on the inside.
And here is the result.
In my previous post, I talked about incorporating mark making into my morning music meditation and how challenging it was to maintain. So, I decided to cut the A3 sheets into A4 size and fold them to create an A5 journal, which is more manageable for daily work. I ended up with 12 A4 sheets …
I was inspired by Galia Alena to create these mark making papers as morning music meditation while listening to her spotify playlist. She talks about it on Day 4 – Mark making of Gentle Creative Invitations course. https://youtu.be/SuKaQYXb0qs I worked on A3 sheets folded in half and completed six sheets. After six consecutive days of …

Week 2 was by Nicole & it was a great lesson to learn how to interpret my own inspirations from around the globe and abstractly paint them! It was a great practice to explore all my brushes in a way I hadn’t tried before. I went a lil overboard and practiced quite a lot on old …

The last few prompts were to write down the emotions on these art journal pages which felt something I have never felt before. I usually write my heart out in the morning pages, this was the first time I wrote my emotions in my art. And with a few extra touch ups, the pages were finally done. Here are some images of the final pages.
I think this week’s artist date was so in-line with what I learnt through this week – it helped me get over the nasty grip of perfectionism, and made me take a huge risk I had been avoiding for quite sometime. – Use my creativity to put some random scraps together along with some paints and doodles and creating something beautiful and meaningful – and recovering a sense of connection between the collage pieces and also between the artist within me and my emotions.
Truly instead of thinking UP the collage in my mind which I’ve been doing for the past 2 months, getting it DOWN in action on these pages.
I think my most favorite artist date so far!
