I love just looking at those layered junk journal pages - it doesn’t even have to have words. I just love seeing all the bits and bobs. Honestly if I am super stressed that style of collage is very therapeutic for me. (And like you said you get to use up things you been holding on to)
Just let junk journals happen when they happen. You surprised yourself. If you goal it you'll hate it. Just make what you like. xoxo you're the free-est artist I've ever really followed and it gives me strength because I've always been a little like the horse from Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (if you haven't read it, he makes himself a "Plan" for his day off working in a lovely English paddock and then, now it has been made just does whatever he'd like because that's the appropriate response to a Plan. LOL) and finding someone successful that I admire and want to emulate who also tends to go left or right of the Plan gives me hope.
Thank you - the finest point pen I used in this was the Muji 0.25 gel pen in Navy. If you have a Time stamp I can tell you which one exactly, but that’s the only fine point I think it could be in this video :)
Happy New years James love this page so creative ,and ya Junk journal is ok to to let it just be what and when it will be , will feel freere that way to create when ya want to create it in.
thanks so much, yo give me any inspiration for my artjournal again…..a long time I didn‘t worked in my journal, because my brain was empty around my creativity……Slowly my create brain is starting again…….you help me
Where do you get all of your Disney ephemera? I thought it was because you were able to go to the park so much. Is that true? We were supposed to go to Disneyland in 2020 and that has been put on hold, indefinitely. I am hoping to have some of them to go in my journals. Can you help?
Yes, I do get a lot of it from the Parks when I visit (a lot from my Tokyo Disneyland trips too!) but also gifted from friends and sometimes from Daiso :)
Every time I try to set a journal for a specific purpose (other than the Golden Books for AJTM), I almost immediately rebel against my own rule! It's funny, but also exhausting. I am trying to keep up with the Hobo 5 year this year, and just keep telling myself it doesn't even have to be a full sentence, just put something down each day. I make a lot of my own journals, so I'm simply making different types of signatures and mixing the paper up so I don't have to commit. Which is goofy, because I don't have trouble with committing to other things. Yeesh.

Do you think you’ll do another 5 year after the one you’re using now?
