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. 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, use the hashtag #artjournaleveryday so that we can all take a peek. Even if you're not on social media, you can see everything (from twitter, pinterest, instagram, and facebook) that uses that hashtag here.
Today I wanted to share some pages from my daily art journal. These three spreads are from the end of May and the beginning of June. Seeing that it's now September, I've got a lot of pages to share with you over the coming weeks!
First up is a page that features a face sporting some super dimensional eyelashes. They're actually fake eyelashes that I used for a TV appearance and then didn't want to throw away. So, I put them to use instead!
I used my Water Lilly Art Foamie in the background, making multi-colored prints using a Stamp Buddy.
I like to add lots of little details to my work. For instance, you can see all of the little gold dots inside the crook of her hand.
This calligraphed card was given to me by super talented calligrapher Janet Takahashi. (BTW: You can learn some of Janet's calligraphy techniques on the upcoming season of Make It Artsy.)
Inside the vine leaf thing you can see some multi-colored stamping. I used one of my rotating repeat stamps and a custom colored ink pad. Both are techniques that you can find in my book Carve Stamp Play. And did you know that you can actually purchase some of my rotating repeat stamps for yourself? One set here and one set here.
Lettering doesn't have to be fancy to be impactful. All of this lettering is super simple.
This is something I drew and then cut with my ScanNCut. I didn't really have a purpose for it when I created it, so it simply sat on my desk for many months. I'm delighted that it has now found a home in my art journal!
I loved creating this flower pattern for her shirt. And now I kind of wish it were a real shirt that I could wear!
Hope you enjoyed this peek into my journal!
Thanks for stopping by!

What is the flower stencil or stamp that is in the beautiful dress of the last beautifully painted woman’s shirt? Love how you incorporate all the stamps as your background and pull forward with a beautiful painted image. Thanks for sharing!!

Hi There Julie,
Your end of May beginning of June pages are just beautiful. I get a bit of aborigine design in the first drawing of the lady.
Makes think you were reminiscing about Australia. I also love that you used your lotus stamp around her face and eye area. It gives her beautiful eye lashes.
The second portrait is stunning. The lady reminds me of an actress. Beautiful.
The Julie is Awesome is a given. Plus you cut that out with your snc.
What I really like is the white card with your name on it and the water color flower. This looks like an awesome place card for a fancy dinner table or wedding.
Yes the flowers on the dress would make a pretty shirt. That reminded me of tropical places. I thought it looked very Hawaiian. Very pretty. All in All I think these pages where fun summery tropical colorful and lots of great energy. Makes me feel sad that summer is coming to a quick end. With that said Hello Fall.
More vibrant beautiful colors coming our way.
Have a great Friday and weekend,
Fawna

I would be crazy happy to win a spot on LifeBook. This is my second year taking this class and it has been so fulfilling. In 2017 I’m REALLY looking forward to Julie’s lesson. I adore your way of journaling and follow your blog daily. Your faces are so unique. That is something I hope to learn to paint…character in a face!
