Some of you may remember the journal I talked about that I bought at the Fish Market in Seattle.
Here are some of the pages in the journal
I have had so many journals through the years. Watercolor Journals, Portrait Journals, Big Moleskins, Little Moleskins. And I still have not found the ultimate journal yet!!! Still searching .
Anyway these are some of my pages.
I think having an art journal is so important. Just trying out new ideas. Seeing what
works and what doesn't. They are a learning tool.
Everyone get your Journals out and start learning!
Only way you get better is by making the mistakes.
You can see how it is piling. (Am I spelling that right?)
Collaged on paper. I think that is what I will have to do with this journal from now on the paper is too flimsy.
Just some ink (Watercolor seeped through from other side)
Mixed Media (acrylic,watercolor,markers) Just playing.

But I had such high hopes. It was so pretty!!!
Oh Well, I will make it work!
Happy PPF everyone!!! Come and visit the other wonderful artist and look at their wonderful work. I am always inspired every week.
There are so many people now it is so hard to get to everyone every week.

Hi Heather, great journal pages! I think of my journals as practice for me in different types of media, and I am so happy I can share them and learn from other artists too.
The journal is terrific. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Janet PPF
Very cool pages!
The top page and tolerance are my favourites... I like the fact that you can close up a journal on a page you don't like... or just paper it over and so you can make millions of mistakes ... it is such a great tool xx
I don'y know which one I like best! They are a party for the eyes for sure! I think maybe the orange is my favorite... ☺
These are wonderful. I especially love the first and last ones. I know what you mean about the journal pages - I found that with the journal we had for the sketchbook project last year - not too kind to watercolour.
Lovely pages, but I know what you mean about the paper - I wrote about it on my blog today, too! My next journal will have good quality paper even if I have to starve for it! (Probably will, too!!) Have a good day, Valerie
Love seeing all the pages from the art journal. :) I agree with you on importance of an art journal.
Thank you for showing your thoughts and pages from the journals, have loved viewing them. Happy PPF, Annette x
I would love to see all of your journals--I'd be lost for hours! Gorgeous!

Okay - you've inspired me to get out my journals and get creating. I just love how you have played in your journals (and done some serious work.

I love your journal, full of detail and color. It feels to me that you are inspired by Oprah life class. Love it!! Happy Paint Party friday!
I love these pages, Heather!
I adore the idea of a journal....absolutely am in awe of other artist's pages...but just can't embrace the whole journal thing for myself...hmmm.
I do have one. Maybe I should Force myself to carry it around?
I especially like the quote of her feeling the fear....but doing it anyway!
LOVE all these journal pages- I'm part of a round robin of sketchbooks, and I feel like you just described the variety I've been encountering- I finally bought some canvas paper and now collage my entries whenever I get a flimsy journal......
Happy PPF,
Stephanie

great pages! I'm in love with that second one - with the tentacles/medusa hair. awesome.
wonderful journal pages, ok, I better start a journal and fill it with ideas, so inspiring.
such beautiful pages Heather! My favorite is that one--she was afraid but she it anyway. I love how you keep on doing and not afraid of making mistakes. Thanks for the inspiration!
Really interesting pages! Love the spread about being afraid.
If you gesso your pages and then let them dry that will add some toooth for journaling.Fantastic pages Especially the second one.

Love, love seeing some of your pages. You are so right, journals are such a great place to learn & experiment. :)
your journals are so much fun, be something to see them all spread out at once.
