Everyone loves a process video, right? I don't know what it is, but I get mesmerized just watching the paint fly and shapes emerge. It's magical. As you have noticed from the past month of sharing, the Balzer Designs archives are deep. So, I've chosen just six videos — one from each year I've been posting them.

It's fascinating to see the evolution of not only my art style, but my video skills! Some things that are definitely consistent over time:
- lots of color
- lots of layers
- lots of stamping
- lots of stenciling
- lots of pattern
I believe that we are consistent as artists. Things simply become more refined over time. It's like how babies are born with a personality. They're not blank slates. As artists, we already have a style. Time and practice help us to hone and draw out that style.
I hope you feel inspired to do a bit of art journaling after watching these videos. I know that I'm feeling inspired by some of the older techniques I don't use that often anymore. Time to get out those book pages!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Julie,
These videos are fabulous. You are really inspiring me to start doing an art journal. I have a 250 page calendar I made for my self in 2011. I have a journaling Chapter in that calendar that I could easily turn into an art journal.
I created the calendar using Microsoft word 2007. I then used rings for ring binding to hold it together. I still have it and I think it would be the perfect old project to make a new.
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas.
Happy Friday,
Fawna

I love 2015. The video goes so fast, my brain was trying to comprehend the applications of all those colors. I would love to watch this in slow mode. I love how you just let go.
