There comes a time when one must follow her own advice: "do what you know, to get into the flow. . .” That should hint at why I’m late in posting this weeks video for our YOC prompts: florals, pencils pens. And yes, this go-around was with intention cause it does help when you’re playing catch-up, LOL. Hope you enjoy - wasn’t able to add commentary, so if you have any questions, please leave a ...

It’s the Season of Flow, Week 1 and our random prompts are fabric, an old photograph, and tape. How does Flow fit into your art practice? “Go with the flow” is a common phrase and yes, I use it often enough. But I would argue that it holds different meanings...

This looks so magical and vibrant! Your handwriting is quite lovely as well.
Thanks so much, Marcie! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏🏻❤
Oh wow this is absolutely stunning!😍 Appreciate hearing your thoughts about the sprays along the way while you were creating, as well as the way you listed everything you used. Your writing is beautiful and I love the words you chose. This layout turned out incredible and definitely captures the beauty and magic of the Harvest Moon. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art! 🌙✨💕
I really appreciate your kind words, Amy! Happy that you enjoyed the video and thank you so very much! 🙏🏻❤
Love this and your journal! The cover oaper is beautiful! Tfs❤❤❤
Thanks so much, Nicole! That paper is such a fun design, you can find it at Paper Source. 🙏🏻❤
Turned out beautiful !!
I appreciate this so much - thank you!! 🙏🏻❤
Great spread. Love the way the moon turned out. Very pretty
Thanks so much - I held my breath now and then and just happy to all worked out, lol! 🙏🏻❤
That is a beautiful spread!
Thank you so much! Happy you enjoyed 🙏🏻❤
I'm a new subscriber binge watching your Art. Lots of new ideas here and I'm inspired for sure!
Thanks again, Rebecca - yes, a lot of great ideas in this collective. Have fun, be inspired! ❤
Your Channel came up on UTUBE because I'm looking at Art Journals. I love your "style" and will have not down more video's for my viewing pleasure! I just subscribed.
Thank you so much, Rebecca, I hope you enjoy! ❤
💜
Thanks, Maria!! ❤❤❤
Really like the 'scrappy' flower circles appliqued over the patchwork cover. That's a fun idea.
Thanks MariKay - these are vintage yo-yo's and yes, fun to use. You can certainly make them out of old or newer fabric scraps which makes them readily available if you want to give it a go!
This is beautiful! I will have to try this. ❤😊
Thanks so much, Sheila! Enjoy and have fun ❤❤❤
Lots of great technics for a great result or should I say for great results! I like both! Merci 😀
Thanks so much, Loulou!! ❤❤❤
Nice to meet you Char! The 1st journal you showed us had attached keys. Light bulb 💡 went on for me as I had been reluctant to throw out the key from my car once it was towed away. Now I can keep it and the memory! Ty❤
Nice to meet you too, Jayne! Oh absolutely use that key in your journal! Found objects are great to incorporate into your journals and yes, they're wonderful memory keepers too. Have fun! ❤❤❤
Oh wow I love this!! You gave so many great ideas! Thanks alot!!
Hi Loree! Thanks so much; glad it's given you ideas to try out - have fun! ❤❤❤
Always love your work! I usually watch your hand stitching so it was great to see you do junk journal pages! ❤
Thanks so much, Linda! ❤❤❤
I so love what you did here. I am a quilter (aka fabric hoarder) and I need to make some more of those adorable fabric clusters. I think I will gather up some old feed sacks today and get going on my journal. Your journal is an inspiration to me! Thanks so much!
Hi Bonnie - thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and that it has inspired ways for you to use-up your fabric scraps. That's so awesome and can't wait to see what you create! ❤❤❤
just loved this demo, so many good ideas, I love incorporating fabric and lace into my journals, thank you
Many thanks, Bonnie! I'm so glad you enjoyed and are already using fabric and lace in your journals too! ❤❤❤
Very inspiring. Thank you
Thanks so much, Alison! Happy you found it inspiring, so kind of you! ❤❤❤
Love your fabric journal, the fabric cluster is makes it for me
Thank you so much! You know, it's so relaxing making these, even if you're not sure where or when you're going to use them. Before you know it, you'll have a beautiful supply at the ready! Have fun!
Really loved how you put your journal together..it’s a treasure for JJJ2024❤️🇨🇦
Dagmar - Thank you so much! I so appreciate the compliment, especially since I admire you and your fabric creations so much! Everything you do is so stunningly beautiful. Happy New Year, my friend ♥♥♥
That was wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you, Denise! Glad you enjoyed. . . ❤❤❤
thanks for sharing your great ideas for using fabric in our junk journals! Love the roundrobin book!
Thank you so much, Diane! Glad you enjoyed my trip down memory lane. . .❤❤❤
I love the fabric books you’ve created. Your latest one looks great so far. I’ve done fabric books, with lots of frayed edges and paper ones but never really combined the two, so I look forward seeing you make your latest one. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks, Jackie! Can't wait for you to mix things up, you'll going to have so much fun! ❤❤❤
🥰
Thank you, Britta!! ❤❤❤
Love it, absolutely amazing. I enjoy sewing and use to do a lot of crewel and embroidery, but I have yet to add it to my journals, so now is the time. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!!!!
So excited for you, Becky! Crewel and embroidered snippets are perfect for adding texture, color and uniqueness to your journals. Thanks for watching!! ❤❤❤
Incredible! Totally different for me. Love it! I'll follow you to see more of your work👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much, Malu! Hope you enjoy! ❤❤❤
So cute & SUPER Christmas❣️❣️🌲🌲
Thanks so much, Lynn!! 🙏🏻❤
Beautiful!
Thank you so much, and happy you enjoyed! ❤❤
Speechless. As @soul_positive says….. Love the vintage feel and genuine Christmas charm felt in every single page. This is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy holidays to you! Xoxo. K
Awww, K - I'm thrilled you like how this turned out and you know just how much I love ALL your collabs with @soul_positive. You were one of my very first IG connections and I love that we're still going strong. You (and K) inspire me always and I can't thank you enough. Love you, K. Best Holiday wishes to you and yours. . .🙏🏻🖤🖤🖤😘😘😘
I am speechless Char. You did such a beautiful job on this journal. Every single page is so full of detail. Absolutely breathtaking. I literally have tears with how you have made this journal your own. Thank you so much for sharing and being a part of our world. Love you friend. ❤
Oh Kristi - now you've got me all choked up! Thank you for being a part of your tribe, it's such an honor for me to call you my dear friend. Much love, K 💜💜💜😘😘😘
p/s - Have a wonderful Holiday season, K - your sweet dad is right there with you always. 🙏🏻💜🥰
Wow it’s so incredible that you have experience as a costume designer, this prompt is perfect for you 🥰 I love that you made a journal AND a ‘sidekick’ journal for this 😂 that kind of dedication is wonderful to see 🧡 watching you distress those tags was so interesting! I’m definitely inspired to try some of your techniques. Love the spooky grungy look of the end results. Thank you so much for joining the challenge and for this wonderful video! 🖤
Oh Kia, you've made my day, thank you so much!! I'm excited to see you play with these techniques; you really can't go wrong and many use gesso in interesting ways. Enjoy the process, can't wait to see what you create! And again, I'm so grateful to have been a part of your Halloween Journal Challenge this year! XOXO🧡🧡🧡
Kia, I forgot to mention that I was thrilled to have been able to do the Costumes + Disguises prompt!! Thanks again! 🎃👻🧡
Thanks for sharing your techniques. I’m going to try a couple of them!
Thanks so much and I'm happy that you'll give it a try! Enjoy and have fun! ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks very much, Lynn! ❤❤❤
Beautiful pieces! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Alyson! ❤❤❤
This is FABULOUS 👌 😍😍😍🌿🌿🌿
Thanks so much and happy you enjoyed! 🙏🏻❤🥰
Great page! I love how colorful your background was, and your use of masks was just great here. I love how you showed adding on to what might have been a finished piece - you can always keep adding to change it up!
Hi Sharon! Thank you so much - I'm so happy you enjoyed the process. Please tag me if you give it a try! 🙏🏻❤🥰
Great technique with the masks. I will try that certainly in one of my next pages!! Thanks for sharing 🔥❤️
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're going to give it a try - have fun! 🙏🏻❤🥰
Nice to meet you Char! Meg sent me 😅 When i see a painter i really take notes! Though ive only been doing junk journaling for a couple of years i appreciate you saying use what you have. 👍 When you came back to rework somethings it was great to have the pictures to compare. I liked the rt side of the first page but the left of the right page.
Hello Jayne, nice to meet you! I've always believed the best part of junk journaling with mixed media is using what you have or whatever supplies you prefer working with. Thanks for your input! ❤🥰🙏🏻
Absolutely gorgeous! I Love your video!❤
Thank you very much, Naira! I hope you give it a try and enjoy! 🙏🏻💕🥰
Fantastic tutorial and ideas for the torn theme, thank you!
Thanks so much for your kind words, Jessie! Means so much; have fun tearing papers! ❤🙏🏻🥰
So pretty. Love them both!
Wow!! I love this!! As you were working on it I couldn't imagine what the finished spread would look like. It's so neat! And I do really like the addition of yellow. One of my babysitters taught me to layer colors in the background of a finished pic in a coloring book. She said use yellow last, it will make everything pop! I never forgot that and it was over 50 years ago! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Hi Michele, thanks so much! Yes, we often have to go through the messy, ugly stage in building-up layers; its something you just can't 'fake' if that makes sense. What a great story and memory about your babysitter's coloring book advice! 🙏🏻❤🥰
Awesome spread and technique. Very inspiring.
I so appreciate this, Debbie, thank you! I hope you give it a try sometime. . .🙏🏻❤🥰
❤❤❤ I'm new to collaging and I really enjoyed watching you make layer after layer. Such pretty colors!
Thank you for watching, Jackie! Collage is great; so many ways to approach it and I know you'll love the exploring and play aspect of it all. 🙏🏻❤🥰
Love how you’ve created this unique layout and really made it your own
Thanks so much, Kerry-Lynn! Hope you're enjoying JJJ 🙏🏻❤🥰
Such a happy spread! Thank you. I like both versions.
Thanks so much, Jacqui! Much appreciated - I'm glad I was able to share both versions! 🙏🏻❤🥰
I love this method, have done it on a canvas but not in my art journal. Loved the first version, then you showed the final creation and it has so much wow factor. Sometimes we just have to leave something for a couple of days and come back to see what needs to be added. New subscriber for you, have been doing the challenge too. Cheers from Australia.
Hi Leigh, Welcome and thank you so much! Yeah, this is such a versatile process with surprises each time and can be used over and over with different results. Glad you enjoyed the video, take care 🙏🏻❤🥰
Very pritty 😍 lots of love from arctic Norrway 🙌🏵🌺🌻🌼🌹
Thanks so much for watching, Lena! Sending love from California! 🙏🏻❤🥰
I like the second version best but they were both lovely
Thank you so much, Erica!! 🙏🏻❤🥰
So free and so much fun. The colors make me feel happy 😊
Awww, I'm happy this made you happy!! Thanks for watching, Alison! 🙏🏻❤🥰
