If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here. All of the previous posts can be found archived here. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post. Thanks!
I use my art journal to pour out a lot of raw feelings that I don't necessarily want to share with the world. You'll notice that I often redact my art journal pages when I share them here on the blog. I often feel awkward bringing my art journal to class for students to see. I rarely publish my journal pages, because they're intensely private. And then I had a thought: What if my handwriting was unreadable?
So, I decided to work on making it unreadable.
- My normal handwriting.
- Squishing my normal handwriting.
- Squishing my handwriting even more and elongating it a bit.
- Spreading out my handwriting
- Spreading it even more.
- Really spreading it, and keeping it super loose.
- My normal handwriting with a nib pen and India Ink.
- Squished.
- Spread out.
I decided to try out my new handwriting in my art journal:
(I also experimented with my new white acrylic ink and a nib pen to create the white writing you see!)
I'm totally digging how the two kinds of handwriting turned out and I think I'll be doing this a lot more. It will make it easier to share my pages.
How about you? Do you use your regular handwriting in your art journal?
Here's this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!
Love the idea of changing up your handwriting – definitely going to give it a try

I have never had to practice making my handwriting hard to read- at least according to every teacher I’ve ever had! I am an elementary school teacher and I have the most horrible handwriting for that job but it is perfect for my art journal- I can write and keep it private. I have never played around with the different ways to make it unreadable- I am going to have fun with that! Thanks for the inspiration!

Maybe our Dr’s could give us a lesson in horrible handwriting since they are pros at it.

I use that exact same ‘trick’ sometimes – changing my handwriting and making it unreadable – I know a lot of ‘handwritings’ when I don’t want people to read it. Besides that, I also use these ‘tricks’: blurr it on my blog but it is readable in my book. Paint over it or glue paper (partly) over it. Write from left to right and then rotate the page and write over it again (so the writing is from left to write and the second ‘layer’ of writing from bottom to top) That way it forms a nice pattern. Use watersoluble ink/crayons and spill water over it when the writing is done (so that it blends)

Hi, Julie. I’ve tried to make my handwriting unreadable, too. The problem, later on, was that I couldn’t read it myself and couldn’t remember what I wrote…lol.
Good luck in all your endeavors….thanks so much for all that you share. You are very talented and good at heart.

Hi Julie!! First I want to THANK YOU for getting me started in art jouranling. Last year in November I took your 30 day journal class and LOOOOOVED IT!! A year later and it’s still makes me happy. Wish you had another 30 day class again now. Thinking of going back to the class and redoing it though, you were amazing in those videos!!
I honestly don’t read the journal pages of the blogs I follow. For me it’s all about the art/color/techinique/etc. I do read any quotes or large titles or if there is a specific reason to read the pages otherwise I am all about the art of the pages. So your writings are safe with me.
This is a fun idea though to change up your handwriting. Can you still read it though?? I might have to try this just for fun. I’m not much of a writer on my pages, it’s just colors and fun but would like one day to get more words/stories down on my pages. Thanks for the inspiration today!!
Thanks again for being so AWESOME!!!

What IS a regular handwriting? 😉 My handwriting changes with pen, mood, time and hour of the day, but I agree with you, it’s fun to “play around” with it and make it unreadable. Another fun thing is to write on top of other texts or with a dark pen on dark, so that it’s almost invisible anyway. 🙂
Have a great weekend!

It depends on my mood…I am more of a printer but that’s from taking 2 years of Mechanical Drawing in HS because I wanted to be an architect…I never lost that habit of printing vs. cursive 😉

Very interesting. Do you think you can read the unreadable yourself, even in the not-so-near future?
Another way of keeping texts private to most outsiders would be to write them in shorthand. However, as far as I know, it isn’t taught any more nowadays, in the computer age. (So this probably is a solution only for older journal writers.)
Plus, shorthand has its drawbacks: I own several little pocket calendars that once belonged to my grandfather, and I know that they contain lots of notes about my childhood. Only – he used a kind of shorthand that is outdated long-since, so that I have no chance of deciphering his notes.

That is the problem with showing your work on the internet and in classes. A great expert at disguising her writing is Dina Wakley, she is the ultimate master! lol.
The issue here is also whether you want to read it in future and/or also, as the person above points out, would you want your future generations to read it? You could try creative methods of secret journalling, covering it up in various ways. I’ve seen this technique used in scrapbooking. It would mean more work for you though.
I’ve just thought of another idea for something you could do for classes, you could tape together pages (temporarily) that you don’t want opened. Maybe there are some other solutions….

Keep a smaller, auxiliary journal for text with date stamps or other key to the larger art journal. Enter those really private thoughts, legibly, there. I like to go back and re-read entries from prior years, so it’s nice to have them accessible somewhere. Then disguise any similar or matching thoughts in the art journal any way you want.

Since I’ve started blogging about my art journaling, I have also starting writing messier and messier so that people had trouble reading it. But as others have mentioned already, I’m scared that I won’t be able to read it myself in the future and won’t remember what inspired the page! Not sure what the best solution is…

Such an interesting post, Julie. You know, I rarely go really deep in my journaling JUST because I’m not sure I want someone else reading what I might say. Therefore, my daily journaling is pretty “light”. Too bad, though, because I had a traumatic childhood and really would benefit from writing my deepest thoughts. Well, anyone would really. My only problem with this method, as some others have mentioned, is then not being able to read what I myself have written. So, I guess the question is – what’s more important? Not being able to read later what you’ve written or just being able to REALLY throw it down on paper like you want? I’m thinking I really like the idea of getting it down as a part of an “early” layer in the process and then, as I progress through a journal page, just perhaps highlighting a certain thought or phrase from what I’ve written more privately or maybe even using a quote that speaks to what I’ve written. The deeper writing should be pretty well hidden at that point. Guess I’ve just answered my own question. Thanks, again, for bringing it up, because I really feel this something I need to work on.

Hi Julie! While I was working on my latest page, I was mentally processing the crazy week I had. It’s a good thing the handwriting on my page is illegible 🙂 The printed quote I used is a much more positive response. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Terri

But can you read it? Are you going to be able to read it 6 months from now!
I have written in a journal very time I hit a stress problem. I am 70 now and when I come across old writings, I find it is the same issues that are giving me problems. If I couldn’t read them, how would I learn from them.

I notice Dina Wakley blurrs her writing too so it’s unreadable.
The thing with me is that I spent so much time the last year trying to learn how to write NICE (even studied Calligraphy), that I don’t want to go backwards, lol!
I insert blank Clairfontaine lined paper into my jounals, and use that to write the bad stuff on with a fountain pen. Then when I’m finished I fold the pages in half lengthwise, and seal them with a glued-on flower so no one can easily open the pages to read them. If the time comes I want to read what I wrote, it’s just a matter of peeling off the flower.

One solution would be to write backwards in cursive. It takes a bit of practice. Hard to read at a glance but easily readable later on with a mirror.
