more art journal pages

As promised, here are some more art journal pages from my workshop demo book.  The envelopes, tags, little books and stencilling are part of my Art Journalling 3 workshop which I taught at The Stamp Attic last Saturday, and will be teaching at The Cubby Hole this Saturday!

The last two pages are from Art Journalling 2 where we explore different ways of colouring a page.  They are both ready for any extra collaging, doodling, or splashing of paint that I might feel like adding!

It feels a bit weird sharing a whole journal with you, rather than just odd pages...very baring my soul... so would love to hear any comments you have on it [just click on 'arty ponderings' below to leave a comment]

playing with stencils

I love using stencils, especially sequin waste, in my journal, and decided to have a go at covering a page just using stencils.  I used a combination of Stewart Gill and Crafters Workshop stencils, both available at Paddy's Stamping Place; and loved the result I have to say!  

 

So today I used the piece to demonstrate making a little book as part of my Art Journaling 3 class. I made a second sheet of stencilled paper and used it inside my folded book to create additional signatures.

- a great little book to journal in, and tuck inside one of my larger journals!  Art journaling 3 is all about adding little pockets, books and tags to your journal, and developing writing in your journal.  

I'm so glad none of us were suffering from colds or hayfever, our magnetic poetry style writing would have been seriously disturbed lol

There were little words everywhere!!  But they made cool additions to our tags...
