A small stack of my art journals

#artjournals

Gelli print collage of leaves, pine needles and bubble wrap in maroon, dark green and deep yellow.

A tree in watercolor from my imagination

Repeating pattern of bicolor green leaves around metallic orbs, the center one containing a chickadee. Playing with some new metallic acrylic paints.

Made a New Year’s resolution to be more playful with my creativity. I still have plans for my serious art but hope to tone down my perfectionism! Here are some of my 2026 art journal entries. I find the gelli plate printing is almost like finger painting! Very! playful!

Five handmade art journals in pastel colors decorated with mini collages and ribbon woven through the spine.

Handmade journals bound for a holiday artist market.

Worked a little more on the recent spread in my sketchbook. I love doing these kinds of pages because there's not much thinking while I do. I just pull out paints one at a time from a group I've gathered to the side. #artjournals #sketchbook

Trying to clean out my studio but can't help sitting down and playing in the sketchbook... #artjournals #sketch

My holiday art journaling class on Creativebug.com is one of the free classes this month! ALSO, 10 of my past holiday art journal e-zines are available for download in my shop!

Hand-made rust print of a flower above a landscape-like form. A part of the flower's petals are stitched intuitively, following some plant veins. Page of an art book.

Close up of a miniature origami inspired hand folded envelope with a diamond shaped tuck pocket, made from colorful textured luminous paper. The envelope flap is open. The material has a fuchsia berry purple base with a blue turquoise green color shift. The paper like sheets show a sophisticated matte rice paper texture and an abundant pop of gold micro sparkles on top. Shown over a wood background.

Made a tiny folded envelope with the Radiant Galaxy Paper and it was so fun. This is definitely going in the junk journal that's taking forever to make 😜 shop link for this hand crafted papery material in my bio ✨

mixed media art journal oil pastel drawing of a female figure with long red hair, wearing a green gown, looking down with eyes closed and arms outstretched - drawing in energy from earth and sky.

Some of my favourite art is not very grand - it is of the moment, tucked away in #artjournals - I am not quite sure what is raw or incomplete, but this doesn't matter in a journal.
Mixed media - acrylic paint and oil pastels. #AlteredBook art journal from a children's board book.

Love this 💙 - added to my journal-making wish list. I don't think I have a concertina book - we can't have that now 😂

Journal shot of my last #painting post. I like painting for fun in cheap #artjournals but sometimes ... "damn, should have used the fancy paper".

Join me tonight and keep me entertained while I work. Lol
