Art Journal Every Day: Some February 2019 Pages

from the Balzer Designs Blog: Art Journal Every Day #artjournal #artjournaleveryday

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 am sharing some art journal pages from February 2019.  You'll notice that the "daily" journaling isn't exactly daily.  And that's okay!

On this particular spread I missed a day (the 11th).  But there are times when I've missed an entire month!  "Art Journal Every Day" is an aspiration, rather than a pair of handcuffs.  I do my best and that's good enough.

In the upper left corner, I used some Dina Wakely tissue paper that has faces printed on it.

This page features two tape transfers.  One:

The second one is a little more hidden:

There it is!  Right under her eye!

This next page features a pocket:

As you'll see from the next few pages, I love cutting up my art journal to create quirky shaped pages.

To me, the cutting up of pages to create shaped edges, holes, pockets, etc. makes my art journal feel more personal, more interactive, and more fun!

Thanks for stopping by!
