ArtJournalEveryDayLogo-150If 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!

Today I'm sharing a fast forward video of an art journal page from start to finish.  Fast forward videos are my favorite kind of art video to watch.  I hope you enjoy this one!

Here's the page from the video:

I love printing directly in my journal with the super big Gelli Plate!  I used the Shattered Circles, Corn Flowers, Tiny Circles, and Daisy Bits stencils on this page.  If you want to know more about Gelli Printing or lettering, try my "Getting Started" classes on each of those subjects!

Here is this week's linky list:

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I love when you post these fast forwards and it so inspires me to play with paint and paper. I actually giggled with joy when you did the title…how fast the red filled in around the letters. Strange I am but have a good weekend Julie.

  • I just read your column in Cloth, Paper, Scissors the other day where you said that it is better to have a concise quick video (talk while you work) rather than one where a person drones on and on and then demonstrates the technique – I totally agree! Your videos are the ones that I watch over and over and see new things during each viewing – You are the Queen of Gelli Printing!! Love watching you work with your stencils too!
