Soul Art Day 2018 – May 23
Today is International Soul Art Day and all artists, healers, creators of any kind, and visionaries are called to create art today more than any other day. It’s perfect occasion to let go fear of creating art and try something new if you like. Just like I did: I’m not familiar with collage art. Not long ago, I’ve seen some kind of collage art on Pinterest and decided to give it a try: it’s not my style at all and I’m wondering what journal would be most suitable for this kind of art. Practically, you are collaging cuts from magazines and put them together to form some kind of visual…

It’s been more than a year!
Hello dear creative soul! It’s been more than a year since I last posted here! It’s been sooo long! I have somehow (like completely!) neglected posting on the blog, but all this time I continued to create art in my journals, especially in one journal in particular – the one that allowed me to sketch real quick and only use mostly dry medium. I miss a lot painting with acrylics and getting my fingers dirty in the process, but then packing all back after painting was too much time consuming, and I preferred using colored pencils and sometimes “dry” brush to activate the colors. This blog is going…

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…

11+ artists that inspired my art journey
I remember when I started with art journaling..! So many pages, so many artists! I felt overwhelmed by the variety of styles and mediums I had discovered in such a short time just by searching old Google. There are many artists that inspired me to create over the time. Most of them offer online classes, although I haven’t take many of them. I rather preferred to create my own version of their journal pages & canvas and evolve from there.

Brown paper art journal face
Although at first I thought it’s going to be a pain in the @ss drawing and painting on brown packaging paper, now I kinda started to love it. I wrote about this journal and how I made it here. Now I had to try more wet media to see how it reacts to it. I was surprised to see that the paper not only that it’s still in one piece after applying the inks, acrylics and watercolor pencils, but these barely show on the other side of the paper.
