Craft Along with Me - Working in My Art Journal Using Inspiration I Found in a Library Book
I was feeling a little intimidated and overwhelmed by my art journal. Every time I opened it, I felt so blocked. I was visiting my local library this week and wandered over to the reference section when I found a book full of inspiration! I use one of the images I found in that book as a launchpad to get over the hurdle of creative block and am really pleased with how it turned out! Hope you like it too!
Here's the video where I made the art journal: th-cam.com/video/DMX58vqFlDg/w-d-xo.html

Making an Art Journal Using Junk I Found in my Craft Room
มุมมอง 33814 วันที่ผ่านมา
I wanted to start the new year making an art journal as I have never had one and was feeling some chaotic creative energy. I used a shipping package, random papers I found in my stash, and some of the tackiest thread I could find. And I am absolutely in love with it! Hope you like it!

    This video hit my recommendations with perfect timing! I currently have all of my favorite craft supplies packed for a cross country move and am feeling a bit frustrated that I can't create. But, I do have lots of "junk" I was going to leave behind. I'm now making a "while I wait to move" journal out of packaging, etc. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Nicely done :) I agree, this is one of the easiest prompts in the list. The old German handwriting is called "Sütterlin" (don't like it). The sister glued the photo into the book to remember. Another person added in a different handwriting "Wien Urlaub" (holiday in Vienna), Lizzie + that name I cannot figure out.
