No words, just feelings
I started this journal page having in mind a totally different idea, but you know how it goes: you open your journal and say you’re going to draw a bird, but you end up with a dog. Well, not really the case, but what I wanted to “paint” and share to the world was different from what I got at the end.

Joyful abstract flowers
For today I went back into childhood when all seemed so easy and perfect and I created this simple page with abstract round flowers. I drew then directly with a black roll pen and then I started to add color using Faber Castell gelatos. For the bottom background I even used the metalic Faber Castell gel stick set of 6 metalics, which has a rich texture and great coverage!

What are the eyes for you – mixed media journal page

Abstract marks on packaging paper
The easiest and least expensive way to make an art journal is by using packaging paper you have around the house. You’ve seen already my mini packaging paper journal I posted on the blog last year. I still have plenty of pages to fill in and so many ideas! Cel mai usor si economic mod de crea un art jurnal este folosind hartie de impachetat pe care probabil o aveti prin casa. Ati vazut deja mini-jurnalul facut in hartie de impachetat pe care l-am postat anul trecut. Inca mai am multe pagini care asteapta sa fie pictate si atat de multe idei! One of the things I like to try when I’m…

Brown paper bag April Community Thrive Art journaling challenge {video}
I’ve been inspired by Heather Santos to create this brown paper bag video where I’ve used the brown paper bag to create art envelopes. Heather created five cute & sweet hearts! Yay! How cool is that? I’ve always wanted to use my brown paper to create some art, so I thought now it’s the moment to try my hand.
