20 minutes art journaling – blue sky
I kinda like working in this little sketchbook turned into an art journal with the use of collage paper, inserts and most of all, gesso! When you gesso thin pages you instantly create a new waterproof layer ready for new art work. Some might prefer to draw directly on paper, but I'm a fan of gessoed paper. I'm halfway through this gorgeous journal and I can't wait to add more drawings to it!

Art in my journal: Whimsical Face with purple hair and the Quoted Pages
Hello dear creative soul! How was your weekend? I had to face losing all my smartphone photos. The memory card inserted in my smartphone became useless after I got several different messages saying my card is going to “die”, but it didn’t occurred to me that eventually the memory card will become useless. One day I’ve seen the “There’s no card inserted. Please insert memory card.” message on my phone display and I knew there must be something really bad going on with the memory card. But it was too late already. Of course I lost personal photos in the process, but that’s another story. Luckily, I have…
