It's time for our December Book Club! Just as a reminder, each month I choose a crafty book from my bookshelf and create something inspired by the book. I hope you'll be inspired to do the same.
This month I chose the book Journal It! curated by Jenny Doh:
In an act of full disclosure: I'm one of the nineteen artists featured in this book.
Jenny Doh has gathered a wide variety of art journalers into the pages of Journal It! Each artist is featured over several pages. You get a mixture of his/her artwork and comments on the process of art journaling. In addition, each artist gives some instructions for at least one technique that he/she likes to use.
I thought the best way to describe the book for you, would be to share a little about each atist's chapter:
- Bob Fisher: Bob's work is intensely saturated and tends to monochromatic use of color. He mixes collaged text with hand drawn images, many of people. His suggestion about using watersoluble crayons for portraits sent me off on a binge of several weeks of doing just that!
- Julie Fei-Fan Balzer: This is the *best* chapter in the book. ;)
- Belinda Fireman: Belinda's work is brightly colored with a strong use of black marks to create focus and design. The two techniques she shares both involve using a black pen over acrylic paint, which is one of my go-to techniques too!
- Debra Cooper: Debra does a lot of layering of paint and ink and I liked the part of her chapter about incorporating stenciling into your journal. The technique she shares for layering spray ink and acrylic paint is one I love to use too! She also shares a wonderful hand drawn alphabet.
- Carolyn Sewell: Carolyn's chapter is full of her intense lettering — black ink crowded onto a stark white page. I could stare at it for hours. And she gives some great tips about accepting mistakes.
- Anna-Maria Wolniak: Anna-Maria's work is full of brightly colored watercolor splashes and text that beautifully mixes handwriting and stamping. There's a kind of lush minimalism about her work that is mesmerizing.
- Melanie Mowinski: Melanie's work pulls its color scheme from nature: browns, greens, and greys. Her "field guides" are wonderful and *almost* make this city girl want to go and explore nature! I really appreciate the technique and tips she shares for dyeing Tyvek.
- Jill K. Berry: Jill's pages feature realistic sketches of people and lots of writing. My favorite page of hers is filled with her beautiful calligraphy in several different styles.
- Alisa Burke: Alisa's sketchbook pages are filled with lovely drawings painted with watercolor. I like her idea of framing your subject matter when working in your journal.
- Susanna Gordon: Susanna's work is very 3-D. From a doll she made to moth brooches, her charming art work mixes a dark mood with a light and bright style.
- Sarah Atwater Bourne: Sarah's chapter is full of different ideas. She explains how to do easy toner based transfers and shares the cutest matchbox journal ever!
- Susan Shelley: Susan and I agree: there are no rules when it comes to art journaling! Her pages are very textural and incorporate everything from hand stitching to burlap. She also shares how she makes "found fabric paper."
- Corey Moortgat: Corey's pages are very much like scrapbook pages to me. She incorporates a lot of photos of her children and mixes pretty patterned paper with paint. I adore the arch shape she uses in a lot of her artwork.
- Kathrin Jebsen-Marwedel: Kathrin's art journal pages are full of delightful drawings, precisely colored. Her drawings have an almost cartoon-like feeling, with clean lines and bright colors. In her chapter she shares her tips on coloring (involves mixing watercolor and markers).
- Bruce Kremer: Bruce's journals are a wonderful record of his travels and his life. He takes simple lined notebooks and fills them with writing, drawings, and mementos (like leaves and feathers). He doesn't treat his journals as precious. Love that!
- Roben-Marie Smith: Roben-Marie's brightly colored pages feature tons of intense pattern and texture (circles are a fave) and she shares how to replicate her inky paper backgrounds. I also love what she shares on stitching in her journal (something I want to do more of).
- Zom Osborne: Zom's free and easy pages are filled with writing and drawings of doll-like girls. In her chapter she shares a gesso resist technique (one of my personal faves too) that is easy and versatile.
- Alison Worman: Alison's work is wonderful and interesting and different and thoughtful and minimalisitc. It's all about texture and shapes with lots of hand stitching. I love her "Little Windows" page and based one of the stencils I recently cut on it.
- Jeanette Sclar: Jeanette's pages are filled with watercolor sketches. She also shares how to do a Citra Solv Transfer — a type of transfer that I've read a lot about, but never tried.
Whew. That's a long list of journalers with a wide range of styles. I will admit that there are some journalers who I'm closer to in style and thus gravitate towards, but there's lots to be inspired by.
When I sat down to create, I didn't have any one journaler's technique or ideas in mind. I just kind of took what I had absorbed from the book and let it flow out onto the page.
I like it. It feels like me and yet it's also different for me. And isn't that the point of reading a crafty book? To feel inspired and incorporate some new ideas into your own work?
Would you like to win a copy of Journal It!? To win, leave an answer to the following question in the comments section of this blog:

Thanks for stopping by!
What I like most about art journalling, is expressing my feelings, emotions or experiences in a creative way. Often this gives a new view on myself or the situation I am in.

What I like best about art journaling is that it is a place I can just loose myself for a few minutes and not care if it is ” pretty” or something someone else will like or understand. My journal reflects the me that I am at that very moment in time….painty inky fingers and my art journal = my happy place!

I like the fact that it is art that I do just for me. So much of my art, I give away. This is mine. I don’t have to share it with anyone, if I don’t want. I can keep it. Thank you for all your wonderful techniques that I get to try in my journal.

Sometimes I am terrified that I will “mess it up” and not “do it right”. But I chip away at that fear. I let color wash over me and words flow and I decide each time that I express myself as I am. My art journaling is simply me. And I like that.

The thing I love most about art journals is the freedom they offer, not only the freedom to create whatever you want, but the freedom for it to not matter and to just go wrong, the freedom to create something at the drop of a hat, wherever you happen to be at the time and the freedom to experiment and play with all the ideas and techniques imaginable. What can I say, I’m an art journal addict.

My favorite thing about art journaling is that I can try new techniques and get things out of my mind without having to be judged for it whatever the result looks like. It also help me think and relax while getting messy and playing around.

I started art journaling around the time I found your blog and turned 60! So you are sort of a mentor to me. The feeling of gesso and paint on hands, and pen to paper is like nothing else.

My art journal gives me a safe place to play with techniques I might be hesitant to try on a canvas. It is a place to explore my thoughts in words and pictures. It is where I stash memorabilia, photos, magazine clippings, and other bits and pieces without having to make a masterpiece. It is a place for me, my thoughts, my creativity and my expression. It is, to paraphrase Peter Pan, “a place where dreams are born and time is never planned,” and I thank you so much for helping me find it!

The only reason I started art journaling is because YOU turned that light switch on! What I love is that I get to do what I love to do JUST FOR ME! Often the projects I work on come with restrictions, very rarely am I creating for me…it’s my connection to my passion!

I like art journaling because I’m not limited to just one thing..one technique, one type of art supply, etc. I can enjoy playing with anything that strikes my fancy! Plus the creativity of art journaling really energizes me – emotionally, mentally and spiritually! I love art journaling!

I like the fact that it helps me spill out whatever I want. I love that it doesn’t have to be perfect; And I love that I can play in the journal with nearly every medium and that I can do so in all sorts of places.

The thing I love about art journaling is that it’s a “safe” place to try new techniques and styles without the pressure of a completed piece of artwork. I tend to get too bogged down by the final project and it takes away the fun of just playing within the process. Art journaling is all play for me.

What I love about art journaling is that I can unleash emotions, work them out on paper without the inner critic, and not have to carry them inside. Art journaling allows my inner child to come out and play without a plan. I get to have a total sensory experience and get lost in the zone for a few minutes. Art journaling keeps calling me with childlike enthusiasm. It is not time consuming and does not feel like a chore. I have been art journaling for years, I am so thrilled to now be part of a tribe of fellow art journalers. I am grateful for the social media that allows sharing of ideas, images, and abundant creativity.

I love art journaling because it is for me and a great way to express myself. In real life I have trouble with that, because of my autism. But I like to call it artism. Every time I take the time to sit down with my journal I realise I CAN CREATE ! Joy.

I love the idea of art journalling as a place to expess my feelings and try new things, both without judgement (of myself and others). I finally bought an art journal. My goal in the new year is to start filling it up! I have been following your blog for some time and now feel ready to take the plunge! This book would be an awesome resource. Thanks so much for the chance to win it!

I have only done a little bit of art journaling. I loved it. I want to take a break from other artistic endeavors this coming year and concentrate on art journaling. What I hope to gain is more self-awareness, and a place to play with different techniques and supplies.

I love art journaling because it is so many things. It can be a personal creative release, as well as emotional release, a happy accident. It can happen with by just letting go, which takes some work. It helps me to start to let go of some of my fears. I can do it in so many different ways and about so many different things.
But I really love it most because of the tactile, texture-y, messiness. I love to have gesso, watercolors, paint, markers, and anything else that makes me happy out. Ilove my hands all paint covered. Then hours later when I see I still have stained hands, I SMILE and my HEART does to because it was a good day.

As well as what everyone else said (I LOVE art journaling) my art journals show how I have moved through life as it is happening. Not necessarily the events, but my writing and and arting techniques as well as my process in becoming. I would love to win the book – thanks for giving us a game to play!

Thanks for the giveaway Julie. I love art journalling purely for the fact that I can’t go wrong! I can play and try out different things & products and still get a result I’m happy with!

And then once each page is almost compkete, I love to doodle a few final touches!
Happiness is creating art!
Hope you have a very happy Christmas 🙂

I’ve only recently started art journaling, and it was your blog that inspired, and continues to inspire, me. I’ve never done anything “arty” before, and I’m not very good, but I’m having fun!

Art journaling allows you the freedom to create anything you want on your canvas. It doesnt have to appeal to anyone else. You dont have to explain it. It doesnt follow any rules. –sorry my appostrophe key doesnt seem to work! Love your blog!

The techniques inspire me most of all. One moment you have a blank page, and the next there are layers and patterns and chaos and colors to make a great background for a sentiment, a photo or collage. You have endless possibilities to reveal a message and this is very open and welcoming for me.

I love art journaling, because it gives me the chance to be myself. I have tried to do art courses and for whatever reason it wasn’t for me. I can do art journaling on my own and I can do what I want and it gives me the ability to express myself creatively. And since I have been doing that it has changed my life and made it a happier life. How cool is that? And I am 51!

This is new to me and I’m still working through the perfection issues, but every page is a new beginning. No fear of “sharing” what I’ve done to critical eyes. Take it or leave it, it’s me for a day.

I’m a beginner but I love building up texture using gesso, acrylics, ink & watercolours. I’m still struggling with the writing & am trying to incorporate some text, mainly hiding it within my picture until I feel a bit more sure of myself. Thanks for your wonderful inspiration and giveaway 🙂

You made a gorgeous work using the inspiration Julie! You’re right: it’s so you and yet different. Books that inspire to work that way are right up my alley and I’d love to win it! Soo… my answer to your question? Why I like art journaling? To me, it doesn’t have much to do with ‘liking’, art journaling is like breathing so what’s there to like? I just can’t live without it!

What I love about art journaling is the chance to experiment with techniques and color. I have done Project Life for 3 years so my art journal becomes a place of quotes or mini challenges like “30 days of gratitude.”
Thanks for sharing your work…al ways inspires.

Journaling calms my soul..it’s my personal outlet to say or write anything I want without fear of criticism or “backlash”, because I don’t share my journals…well, I share some of the art from my journals, but rarely any of the text. Journaling has also taught me how to draw, and, it has introduced me to extraordinary people (like you!) who also journal creatively. It’s like having another family:) I have wanted this book forever! Thanks for the chance!

I looked for this book at B&N this weekend and couldn’t find it! It looks like a fabulous book. What I love about art journaling is that there are no rules! Do whatever strikes your muse. Work on it in bits and spurts, or complete it all at once. It’s the perfect format for a Very Busy Person 😀

I have become an artist through art journaling. By making art most every day I have come to be a more creative person, my fabric art has developed positively and I have a wonderful record of that growth.

I have been art journaling regularly over the past year and now find that I feel more connected to myself and complete when I art journal, even if it is only for ten or fifteen minutes a day. I have Journal It on my Amazon wish list and would love to win it. Thank you for the opportunity.

What I love about Art Journaling, is the opportunity to see myself as an actual working Artist. Not ‘pretending’ to be one-but I AM an ARTIST! Anything goes! Meanings can be hidden or obvious-all techniques are welcome!
plus if it doesn’t ‘turn out,’ leave it, or cover it up!
It’s all good, it’s ALL POSSIBLE!

What I like about art journaling is that it’s a place where I can exxpress myself “any ol’ way I please”, & try out new techniques, new products, whatever my hearts desire. It is a place where I can totally be myself thru art. I find so much peace there.

I am new to Art Journalling and desperately want to conquer this art. Since I am a very private person, spilling thoughts and feelings out in the open is challenging for me. So, what I love most about art journalling is how it forces me to overcome my fears.

Coming from the more rigid world of weaving where the warp has to be tightly wound….art journaling is just the opposite, anything goes….if I don’t like how something looks, I can paint over it. It also gives me a good excuse to keep up with magazine subscriptions…I need to rip them up for my pages.

What a great book! What I love about art journaling is that there is no pre-conceived notion to what I create – it’s a blank canvas – wild and free and ready for recklass abandon {creatively of course}. I never know what I’m going to do – it just evolves 🙂

I love the freedom of it! Not just in expressing whatever I need to, or that it’s just for me, or the fact that there is just a lot of unadulterated play involved in art journaling … also that there are no rules. There’s no getting it right or wrong – it just is!

I like to art journal about whatever comes to mind when I sit down to create, a song, a scripture, a person or an event. Thanks.

I love art journaling because it is a place to try new techniques, practice old ones, and just let loose. No pressure just me being creative.
Art journaling has changed my life!

I LOVE art journaling because it takes me to my happy place. In a society that has become so judgmental…my art journal never judges. It takes all of the negativity out of my world for the few moments/hours that I’m working in my book. Art journaling has honestly become that “rock” in my life that I’ve been missing! It’s because of artists like you that my “rock” continues to be a staple in my life. So, Thank you! 🙂

That looks like a great book! I really like Jenny and trust that your chapter is the best! To answer your question, I would have to say that there is no guilt associated with the journal. It is what it is!

What I love most about Art journaling is how unique and individual it is. There are no rules, you don’t need an art degree and even the simplest techniques and “mistakes” can become something amazing. I have journals filled with only b&w pencil sketches, some with magazine collages, zentangles, watercolor studies, and some with all of the above smooshed in among random paintings, coffee shop menus, and photos of my best friends. – I love them all.

I love art journaling because it sets my thoughts and feelings free with my creativity. I can just relax and enjoy the process of creating and learning or practicing new techniques. I can write whatever I want in it and not worry about hurting anyone because if I don’t want others to see it, it becomes a part of the multi layered background. It’s awesome, it’s fun, it’s healing and it allows me to grow as a person. It also has brought many talented people into my life. And that’s the best part. You can do it alone, or with some one else, but you never feel alone because there are so many awesome artists who are willing to teach and guide you through new techniques.

I love the fact that you can make it as private as you wish and creatively express yourself only for your self. Its your choice and freedom to express and heal and bring happiness to yourself to begin with and spread it all around. And the options are zillion.Simple, Snazzy, Layers and writings and what not. And all of it is allowed in that one book. And you could have multiple journals to go with your moods.

And all of it is allowed in that one book. And you could have multiple journals to go with your moods.

I am new to art journaling. I have an artist friend who influenced me to give it a try. It’s a safe place for me to play with techniques as I learn them, and this book would be a great boost to my experiments.

To me art journaling is very freeing, I tend to be such a perfectionist that I don’t always do the things I want, out of fear… In my art journals I do what I want & feel and it is great… Thanks for all your inspiration…

I like that it records my progress as an artist, a person and all the things that were going on in my life that I have forgotten. I love that I have a place to go back to and find things I created and revisit the idea or design.

I like the complete freedom of art journaling. NO rules, no restrictions, and it can be completely private or it can be shared. It is a great way to practice techniques, try out new products, incorporate any kind of ephemera that’s kicking around, etc. My pages are all very different from each other, and I love that.

I like that each page or double-page of my journal is a work of art in itself and also a part of something bigger that’s not yet determined! I love that I can experiment with new ideas, new materials, new techniques or just “scribble” until I make some meaning for myself.

I love art journalling for many reasons – freedom of expression, experimenting with different products and techniques, and knowing there are NO mistakes. If something doesn’t turn out to my liking, I simply use it as a foundation and start something new right on top go it. What I love most of all is that art journalling takes me to my “happy place.”
Thanks, Julie, for a chance to win Journal It. 🙂

I am such a novice to the art journaling genre and really have not given myself a chance to really get my hands dirty so to speak. I have taken several classes from amazing artist such as Julie and Nathalie and Dina and Finnabair. Sooo all that is left for me to do is do!!This will be a resolution as I have been trying to simplify my other commitments to allow for more self awareness. I am hoping to jump in after the holidays. Wish me luck!!

I like making my own “background papers” using paint and ink and texture and not having to fit my style into someone elses design. It is like I am the paper designer and each journal is my “own” line!!

I love how, at the same time, art journaling calms and excites me. It restores my spirit from past aches and simultaneously gives me fuel for the future. It gives both a place to experiment with design concepts and to break the rules.

What I like most is that you can turn the crappiest of day of the most painful emotions into something expressive and beautiful in its own way. That changes your whole outlook on life.

Art journaling is my favorite way to relax and unwind, now that I have discovered it! There is something so wonderful about the spontaneous act of free flowing creation, carried on for it’s own sake. I love that it leaves me feeling more connected to myself and more peaceful.

I love making my own art journals out of heavy water color paper and filling them full of colorful, layered, playful images. I love to show and tell with other art journal friends! It’s play time, but when I look back through older journals, they are a wonderful record of whatever I was focused on at the time. This book looks WONDERFUL! I’d love a copy.

It’s about a safe place to face fear. No rejections or judgements. It’s where the silent thoughts can be heard. It’s for angers & hurts to be healed. It’s a place where love and happiness can find a safe home.

Mixing writing, (and text in many shapes/appearances,) drawings and collage enables a more complex expression of an experience. It conveys moods more easily that any of these components alone can’t. Well, that’s what I set out to do…

OOOH….. OOOOH…. Pick me… Pick me!!!! I would LOVE to win this book. To me Art Journaling is more than just Art. For me it is a way to help deal with my Chronic Pain. I have been disabled for a few years now, and Art Journaling has filled a void in my life, it gives me a sense of purpose, something that is mine and mine alone. Being on disability makes it financiallydifficult to buy this kind of stuff, so this would just be awesome to win. Happy Holidays.

I have not done much art journaling, but plan to in the new year. The freedom it gives you, no rules, no guidelines, it’s like being in kindergarten all over again and just creating whatever you feel at the moment.

I adore art journaling. So much so that I no longer do much traditional scrapbooking. I love that rather than talk my husbands ear off, and know that he is only half listening, I can sit and put it all into an art journal. Sometimes I feel like I have verbally vomited my frustrations onto the page, and it can be a dark and brooding page, but gee I feel good when I’ve finished!! Other pages are bright and happy and these are fun to do too – its all about expressing what u are feeling at the time and I love that.

I love that rather than talk my husbands ear off, and know that he is only half listening, I can sit and put it all into an art journal. Sometimes I feel like I have verbally vomited my frustrations onto the page, and it can be a dark and brooding page, but gee I feel good when I’ve finished!! Other pages are bright and happy and these are fun to do too – its all about expressing what u are feeling at the time and I love that.

I love that I’m allowed to fail when I journal. When I started journaling I decided that this would be my art play time. I experiment and play and if it looks terrible I just gesso it again and leave some of it to peek through lol..
I’ve found that I have advanced so much in creativeness once I decided that my journal would be my failure book for no eyes but mine…it has been so much fun!

I like it when the page “makes itself”. There are times when I don’t know where I am going with something & then the meaning clicks. Autopilot or subconscious art journalling 🙂

The freedom to journal daily and to use various mixed media in my journal. Doing so, I’m totally in the present moment and I relaxed at the same time.

I think the thing I like best about art journaling is looking back at my completed journals. I am always amazed at how different they all are and how much my style has “evolved” over the years.

It’s funny, I feel like I struggle, but when I look back over the pages they form a beautiful log of past events and I don’t remember the struggle!

What I love best about art journaling, is that when I am doing it, I am fully present in the moment. When I begin playing with papers and collage and gesso and paint and…I am releasing what is necessary from my emotional or creative self onto pages. And I love pages…! ~ kathy

I like art journaling as a way to try new techniques. Plus, you can only create so many canvases! I am just getting to where I include actual journaling on my pages – that is the hard part for me.

I love the fact that I can express myself and play without feeling like I have to create something worth selling or displaying. I can work out ideas in my art journal and it keeps me dabbling in something creative every day.

I like that art journaling is unlike anything I do in real life, where I am responsible and accurate and detail-oriented. Art journaling is play!

I am kind of new to it, but I like the freedom and that there really are no rules, no right or wrong about it. I also like the wide variety of techniques you can use. So many choices and you can do as little or as much as you feel at the moment.

How did that one commercial put it – there are no wrongs, only rights. That’s my attitude to my art journal – it’s my life in all the shapes, scraps, words and ideas that have current meaning to me. Looking forward to checking out Jenny Doh’s book.

Art Journaling gives me the freedom to try different mediums and learn about them. The pages I learn on aren’t trash, just a process in creating art.

What I like about art journaling is the freedom to try anything I want without the prospect of being viewed or evaluataed by others. It pleases ME! I don’t care if it pleases anyone else! If I do love it, I have it saved in a compact, revisitable place!

What a great sounding book with so many participants/styles in one place. I have not looked at this book yet, but am very interested.
I like to do the coloring, drawing or stenciling before with no real plan. when I am ready I add in the details with pens, outlining shapes or defining space and then add the words or thoughts. It is very freeing not having to “do” a certain amount of journal writing at any given time.

Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous book! I just started journaling this year and I’m totally in love. I’m always looking for inspiration – that’s why I come to your blog – and want to learn as many new techniques as I can. I love that I can just let go, put down my feelings in writing or by sketching.
Thank you for the inspiration – I just purchased the all about faces video and can’t wait to start creating with abandon!!

I wear so many hats- mother, wife, teacher, leader, sister, daughter…the hat of art maker is solely mine to wear, and doesn’t require me to share myself- except with me! This book is a new one for me; love to have the opportunity to schedule some “me” time and explore it.
Shine on!

Very simply : it helps me process what I’m going through and come to grips with it. Whether it’s good or bad, I can get perspective and that is awesome!

No one is looking over my shoulder or critisizing me.
I can do what I want! No rules!
I also love the art journaling community. The people here are generous, inspiring, motivating and friendly. Applause!

I like the freedom to do with my journal whatever I like. I am not trying to please anyone but me with what I do. I like the no pressure feeling of that.

I have discovered art journaling to be incredibly therapeutic and freeing. Once I removed the rules and parameters that I felt pressured to follow, art journaling has been so liberating. Plus, I am a collector of all kinds of odds & ends for craft/art purposes anyway, I now have a new use for my materials!

What i like about art journaling is that it frees me to make mistakes and try new things without worrying if it will “good enough” to hang up or give away. It gives me a reason to use my art supplies! Thanks for the give away.

I like that it is a place to experiment, have a go, enjoy and be free of having a reason to be. It is a little piece of me that has no other purpose than for my own joy!

Art journaling lets me express my feelings and be creative at the same time in a safe environment. No one is going to see it if I don’t want them to (unlike the large canvas sitting on the easel drying right now) which means I’m not stressed about it being just right.

I love the combination of just playing with my supplies and writing about whatever pops into my head at the time. I haven’t been able to get to the point of doing it every day, but every day I do it I am happy.

Experimenting, playing with colour and texture and imagery, allowing the page to be informed by my mood and the technique I’m using. I like all of it.
