This is the link to my online course that will get you making and keeping an illustration journal, a visual diary of your own life: kelly-s-school-b1d1.thinkific.com/courses/the-book-of-you-making-and-keeping-a-visual-diary And for more information, you can check it out here: bookandpaperarts.com/the-book-of-you-how-to-keep-and-make-an-illustrated-journal/
Love this! Appreciate reminders to use whatever you have, how to be attuned to harvest materials encountered in ordinary or special activities. Thanks for sharinb.
what a great journal! I can't wait to take your course! Gotta get my hubby well enough so I have more arting time, so please keep all body parts crossed!💗
Dear Robyn, I hope you and hubby are taking care and taking care of each other. (I have been accompanying mine to more and more doctors visits - he is 80 and Things Are Changing around here but we just toddle on step by step.) But it sounds as though you have a more sustained situation and if you can, try to just do a half a page here and a half a page there. It is good for the spirit and actually those bits add up! When things got rough last year I promised myself ten minutes a day watching TH-cam art tutorials and just that ten minutes restored my spirit a lot! All the best, Kelly
Been a little under the weather as of late. So I’m behind on video time. Lol. I think your book is so fun. Love what you do with just about anything. Can’t wait to see what goodies you brought back. On to the next video I go. Hi Ho hi ho… 💐
Love the tea cup and they certainly kind how to make their coffee etc good to have you back 😀 😊 hubby loves Pizza too on his birthdays. I think my favourite is the parking tickets 🎟 typically threw a few out the other day 😕
Hi Lara. Pizza doesn't very French but, of course, it is what real French people eat, that and Chinese food, just like everyone else so bring it on! Have a look in your recycling and I bet you find a lot of free "art supplies". 😎
Kelly, welcome back! I just loved your travel journal, a totally juicy piece of work. Looking foreword to the video where we get to see all your goods that you brought back home with you. Thank you!
I so enjoy your videos. Great content, good techniques, great teaching, interesting topics, pleasant voice, great pace of video! I wish you automatically came up in my feed more often. Seems like things I am not so fond of automatically pop up on my feed. Go figure.
Thanks bunches, Sherry. Boy do I know about stuff showing up in my feed. You like one Stranger Things video then there are a thousand of them. 😺😺 Oh, if you want you can subscribe to my channel and tap the little bell and then whenever I post (weekly) you will get a notification. Kelly 🌷🌻🌼
Glad you are back, can’t wait till Sunday. Bags are some of the most interesting free supplies, after watching your trash to treasure video I started noticing them more. Thanks! For the tips.
Thank you, Esmeralda. This makes me happy - it is easy to wonder if anyone is listening.😺Am I the only one who sees a skip outside of a home repairs and don't see rubbish so much as free art supplies???
Hi Kelly, these pages turned out great, I particularly liked how you framed the page with crayon or water pencils, great idea. So simple but so effective. Haven't heard the word "peppy" for a while but it was fitting lol. Looking forward to your haul video. 😊
I appreciated the reminder to see everyday papers as "found" paper supplies. My biggest takeaway from this video are the trees: using cut shapes of paper to create an object in a collage is a fabulous idea! For those who feel artistically challenged, it's a useful alternative to traditional drawing and painting techniques. What a creative and fun way to document life's joys🥰 Thanks you, Miss Kelly, for the inspiration!😍🌹
SO glad you did a new video, I love everyone I have watched and have learned alot. I like how you mix papers and cut out images on a page layout.. I liked the comment regarding the found papers from travel..better on a page than in a box or drawer..I can so relate after having traveled the South Pacific in 2009 and still have lots of found papers in a drawer...OUT THEY COME, and into a journal spread!!! I also ask..what kind of journal are you using?? watercolor? mixed media paper journal? ? Maybe it is just a thick paper journal?? Looking forward to Sunday's video..thank you !!
Well done you for making pages of what sounds like a great trip! I do talk a lot about choosing a book in my online course but the short answer is you do want a heavier paper that will stand up to glue and wet media. I like this one: www.hahnemuehle.co.uk/nostalgie-sketchbook/10628691 The paper is 190 gsm and to compare that, watercolour paper can be 200 or 300 gsm. I play with 300 gsm in my "real" painting but for an illustrated journal I like a mixed weight. Hope this helps! Kelly
I love the idea of this. Because yes, I too love to pick up bits when we travel and now I’ll have a place to put and make them into a remembrance capsule. Had to chuckle at your “negative Covid test - Boom”. 😂👍🏻 yes, I’ve gone rogue out of my rigid playlist…but it’s Saturday night, so watch out !! 😹 Also, belated (quite) happy birthday and I think I’m going to treat myself to this online course for my birthday next month 🥰 it sounds wonderful 🤍🤍🤍
I'm delighted with your video methods i think you actually tried to do something new in your today's video. from my point of view doing something creativity is a sound way to improve the internal Activities of the brain. by the way May i inquire you a little question this time?. Are you interested of collecting stamps? Collecting stamps is also a good hobby to manage the stressful feelings !
Hello there Almeda. I do not collect valuable stamps but I use cheap and old stamps in my journal pages sometimes. They are fascinating. I hope you are well. Kelly
Hi there. This one was a cheap, no-name sketchbook that I had to use as I was crazy busy trying to get out the door and had no time to get a new one and this one was kicking around the studio where it had been for years, but as I always say: use what you have! However, normally I use a book by Hannemuhle. You can find them online and they in portrait or landscape, with a choice of paper weights. I really like those. Kelly

Hi Diane and thank you! Yes, sometimes we have to train yourself to see the free art supplies all around us and use them. 🌼🌻🌷🎨🎨🎨

Thank you, Jodi. Hope you rally soon Being sick is the worst but sometimes it is a chance to catch up on watching and reading. 😺🎨🌼🌻🌷

@@BookandPaperArts love a good Chinese too 😋 yes will definitely keep that in mind
Loved this one! I hope you had a marvelous time! Vacations are so necessary these days especially. Missed your video!
Thank you, Laurie. It was a working vacation and it was fantastic but now I could use a nap. 😺😎
If I “knock wood” have grandchildren some day. Lol, too cute!
The truth is that morally I fear for children coming into the world these days. But as a woman of a certain age, I want those grandbabies!
Kelly, welcome back! I just loved your travel journal, a totally juicy piece of work. Looking foreword to the video where we get to see all your goods that you brought back home with you. Thank you!
Thank you, Lynn. It is a compulsion - journal keeping. If it isn't on the page it didn't happen. 😺😺
So enjoyable to see your journal. I think your printing is just as creative as your artwork!
I so enjoy your videos. Great content, good techniques, great teaching, interesting topics, pleasant voice, great pace of video! I wish you automatically came up in my feed more often. Seems like things I am not so fond of automatically pop up on my feed. Go figure.

Beautifully put together pages! I learned a lot and it looks like so much fun!
Thank you, Nancy. Hope you make your own pages and go nuts!

@@BookandPaperArts Thank you for replying !
Brilliant. Now I'll have to go travelling to collect papers...what will my husband make of that..
Well, Karen, if you need any help rationalising, I'm right here for you. 😎😺
Which sketchbook do you use?
