I learned that when I make the first art of
the day mine, I feel better, more energized ,more confident. No cleaning, no searching Pinterest for
inspiration, no working on swaps…simply
painting for myself.
Because I admire Rae Missigman’s work I went
to her 15
Minute Mixed Media on her blog and painted THIS
journal page as I watched the video. Of
course it took me longer than 15 minutes but I painted…for me.
What I learned:
- I discovered a way to get around my anxiety of doodling. I used leftover punches from plain white card stock for the flowers. I glued them on then used paint markers to color them in. Will definitely be doing more of this.
- White gel pen will not write where glue stick got smeared on the page.
- I am slowly accepting my handwriting as being okay.
Sharing my early
morning art journaling with Claudia Willison at Saturday Art Linkup.
I love your creativity and how you made this page for you. Art journaling is one of my favorite things to do too (though I don't do it nearly enough!) but goodness, it takes me more than 15 minutes to do a page. :) Thanks for sharing your creations with us! :)
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and creative. Beautiful pages :)

I absolutely feel the same way about creating - early mornings or very late at night.
ReplyDeleteI love your colors and the fact you start your day with your art. Your hand writing is just fine.
