Love is - Mixed Media Art Journal Page
Welcome to today's Art Journal page. I I really enjoy using my paper ephemera/fodder on my pages. You are always creating these elements in projects and so when I get a chance to use them in my art journal, I find it quite a relaxing activity. There are so many ways you can use your ephemera, including creating mini cards, using them on tags and much more.
I am using book pages
and I had applied paint to the opposite side of the paper and then proceeded to cut out heart shapes and stick them to the page.
I prepped the page which already had markings on it from a previous
activity and I added additional paint and scraped it with a card. This helps it to dry quicker.
I added doodling on the page with ink, drawing around the heart shapes. I like to add encouraging words to my art journals and it is great to later come back and see the
messages and reminders. Check out the full video to see the process.

Material Mondays - Leather Faces, Creating in Leather
Welcome to another installment of Material Mondays! Today, we are continuing our series on leather and creating designs and I am excited to share some new pieces I have been working on.
I love creating unique pieces using different tools and techniques, I will be using a a mallet, wood-burning tool, and a range of different supplies to create patterns and designs on my leather pieces.
I find that experimentation is key to unlocking the full potential of these tools and supplies, so I encourage you to play around and try new things.
In today's episode, I will be sharing four pieces that I have created. And, in the last piece, I will be using a variety of tools to create a border and patterns.
I am also doing some mark-making on the leather. I am excited to see what we can come up with, so, grab your leather and your tools, and let us dive into the world of leather and Material Mondays.

52 Art Journals - Mixed Media Mini Art Journal
This Art Journal uses digital papers I created for my patrons. They also get to see how to put the art Journal together. It's made from one sheet of paper or card. I have used the digital paper and collaged additional onto the covers of the mini journal.
We have on the front card cutouts which was originally from a greetings card with a butterfly and some flowers and flourishes and then we've just got some other elements using ribbon. I have used background paper and painted paper as well underneath and altered ribbons on the side.
On the pages I also use old artwork, collaged and stamped tags and embellished handmade paper. I have left space in the journal for additional writing or doodling
