Here are a couple of Art Journal Pages that I did recently. The first one is called Triumphant and I start out with a blank page adding gesso and Neo Colors water soluble wax crayons, then the face developed and I allowed it to take shape.
In the second video I start out with two figures on the page and spent time playing with color until their features started to form.
The supplies used are Neo-Colors - https://amzn.to/39DL45d

I hope that you are having a blessed Christmas and as we go into the New Year are inspired to tap into your creativity in a new way.
There are a lot of things happening creatively and I want to make sure you are able where possible to make full use of them. I am teaching on 3 Courses next year and most of them involve working in your art journal in a variety of ways and I thought I would share the series that I did called 31 Art Journals.
Whilst I have more than 31 it is a small sample of the type of art journals you can create and/or purchase and I talk about the work within, the motivation for creating the art journals which will help you (if your new to art journaling) get an understanding and take away any apprehension for starting. I will be sharing 5 art journals a day over the next 6 days, if you have any questions do leave a comment.
Arts and Wellness - Working with Fabrics and Journals
Welcome to Arts and Wellness Episode 233 which you can also listen on the Podcast. Check out the video where you will see how I use the fabric scraps in the art journal, making use of the texture and colour that comes from the material.
Taking time to create enables you to focus on you and work on areas of your life that need some thought. It is a great stress reliever as well. There are many ways in which you can take part in the arts from participating, watching someone create or looking at the finished art in a gallery setting.
Check out the video HERE where you get a glimpse in the studio and we work on an art journal with fabric scraps
Working with scraps in Art Journal as a background
On Wednesdays we focus on the Arts and how it can impact our health and well-being. I will be talking with artists, looking at activities that you can do to be more creative across the board and for those who are carers tips and strategies that you can use. I will also be sharing reviews, resources and other insights. I will be looking at the nuggets that the artists share and see how we can apply it in some way to our own lives, what ever your interests.
Lots of yummy colour on the baby wipes

This is where Cole plants himself, directly behind me so I have to step over him to get passed. I built a barrier of boxes which he is not amused by and every now and then he jumps over and is practically sitting in my lap!
These are the hand made books that I made at my book binding course, it was really great, all in all we made 5 different books an I try and make sure that I make at least one every few weeks.

Art Journals/books I made in Book binders course
I love making my own books and quite often make them out of alternative materials - fabric, recycled, old prospectus and more. There is always a wealth of materials available for you to work with.

This is a sneak peak at some of the other things that I have been creating - Sculptural Looms with embellishments and stitching projects.
I look forward to hear what you have been up to and seeing some of the images that you share.
Today's episode of Creating in Faith the Faith to be Creative has been posted today. Alongside an art journal page video.
Listen to the podcast
I have been monitoring the whole process and have decided to scale back on the podcast and spend time focusing on creating The Art Journal Experience.
This means that you will be getting two episodes on the podcast each week - the Arts in Wellness Episode - talking about what is going on art wise, speaking to guests and looking at events in the arts and health field. The inspirational shorts is where I look at a tool, book or supply and share how I use it and what I think about them, and you will get to hear about them on the podcast and see them in action on the YouTube channel.
The Art Journal Experience - allow it to sour!
The Creating in Faith episodes will continue slightly changed to the Art Journal Experience and an encouraging word on my YouTube channel on Mondays. Essentially it is to encourage you to be more creative and find way to explore it.
Check out the video below
I look forward to having you on this part of the journey. Stay blessed and be a blessing.
