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!
Lately I've been pushing myself towards creating more abstract art. So, I've been pursuing that line of thought through play in my art journal. The other day I decided to turn on the video camera and record the journey of a page from start to finish. I hope you enjoy coming along for the ride!
And here's the page from the video:
The white pen I used is the white Sharpie. The two stencils are brand new Balzer Designs stencils called "Triangle Sunburst" and "Square Scrolls."
Here is this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!

I love watching you work! I also love the new stencils. The one with the cut out squares almost looks like an indigenous symbol. Please let us know when it is available. I cannot wait to use that stencil. Thanks for sharing so inspired!

Oh Julie, I LOVE everything about this video! gorgeous colors, texture, and what fun music! I didn’t see the white writing at first…the white Sharpie poster pen that I tried didn’t work well at all. maybe sat on the shelf in the store too long? maybe I need to try purchasing another one…Great video, and thanks for your dedicated blogging and inspiration!

I enjoyed that video since it reminded me that I want to let go more on my pages. I think that I’m still too controlled. Love the texture and colors.

I’ve been doing a lot of ‘abstract’ and intuitive painting and art journaling too lately… it’s freeing, isn’t it?
