Well, I can’t believe it is nearly the end of May and I have only just discovered the wonderful daily (well 6 days per week) art journal prompts being posted by Tee over at Green Isles Crafts. Some of the prompts have video tutorials such as this one on a Monochrome page. I love the way Tee shows her thought process behind producing the page in this video. Head on over to d’Blogga the site of Dawn deVries Sokol for NaNoJouMo – National Nonstop Journaling Month.
Dawn is the author of 1,000 Artist Journal Pages: Personal Pages and Inspirations, and will be providing a journal prompt a day during November – entries are being posted in a NaNoJoMo Flickr group So, here is a challenge for you all – to sketch your favourite sketching supplies. What are the items you use most when sketching ‘out-and-about’? Vicky has has come up with some innovative uses for a sock cuff and an SD card holder… and created a wonderful journal page too.

From the journal of Gill McCowen Well, you know how it is the little everyday things that bring back the memories? Try journaling what you find in your pocket… It’s a topic you can re-visit from time to time, as Jerrie has indicated on her page.
From the journal of Jerrie Hall I love John’s take on this, as he has included himself in the page…
From the Journal of John Payne A great way to bring back memories of places you have visited or lived in, is to draw a floorplan – as shown in these two wonderful examples - Home in Japan - Jerrie Hall
Childhood Home – John Payne
Use a favourite poem or quote as the basis of a journal page
“I was inspired by this quote by Tom Stoppard – ‘Every Exit is an Entry somewhere else’. I thought of a person moving from room to room and thought it would make an interesting page if viewed from above. I used the fold of the page to repesent the division betwen rooms” How are you feeling today – happy, sad, tired…? Use this feeling to create a page. |
