Happy Hump Day...
I don't know about you, but this winter has felt like the longest of my life, and its seriously got me feeling all blah.... I find it hard to get inspired when I leave at dark for work, and get home in the dark. So to get my mojo happening, I always turn to mood boards and sketches to get the creativity flowing.
I've started working in my new 8x10 Dina Wakley Media Journal. I usually create in the Dylusions Mixed Media Journal, but this one tickled my fancy with a variety of different pages in it to create on. Rather than just the mixed media card, it has burlap, canvas, cotton rag watercolor paper and kraft surfaces.
When I'm starting a journal page, I don't really have any plan in mind, I just grab a heap of product that goes with my mood board or theme im going with and get working. I used one of the middle signature pages, as I wanted to make a double spread.
You can see I'm a bit of a product junkie, and I love my Tim Holtz inks. I've used both the Distress Inks and Distress Oxides on this page, as well as some random house paint.
I've used a super old Dina Wakley stamp, some random Stencils, old bits of book paper, the 'Magic Pencil' (Stabile Aquarellable), Distress Collage medium, X-press it glue, my Blending tool, some cotton thread, medical gauze...
While this isn't a stand out page for me, my journal is a place I just throw paint and experiment with. I may never touch it again, or I might come back and add more elements latter... I dont feel the 'pressure' to make perfect pages in it, and sometimes its just a cathartic tool for letting emotions out..
