Oh, thank you so much--I'm glad to hear you found inspiration! I'll admit it felt a little weird not having a video ready to go for last week (and this one coming up) but it has given me some creative breathing space which I needed.
I love all these pages, they are progress and processes!! So much learning from just doing Thank you for a whole year of sharing!! I remember a lot of these pages
I really like your style, Pam; the textures and the muted palette are very appealing to me. And, as you can tell by my name, I'm a big fan of ladders, too! 😃
Oh my gosh, a ladder-lover! Thanks for letting me know--that makes me so happy! I appreciate that you like the texture and muted palette in my art--hopefully you are inspired in your own art making.
Oh, Gayle--thank you! I know there are some of us that just love that grunginess (it's not for everyone!) so I appreciate knowing that you are one of them.
It shows your range. The portraits I find story full, the bold marks have energy & your colors no one can copy🙂The container shapes with plants or flowers 💚In common: red is my hesitation color. The new journal with double spread pages do they get portraits? I wonder how you would work them. Thank you, Pam 🌞
Wow, thanks for sharing your insightfulness Sabine! I appreciate that perspective on my art. And I love your "red is my hesitation color" comment. Poetry in the making! I will definitely be making portraits in the non-spiral art journals and hopefully the process will be similar to what I'm already doing. I guess we'll see.
I really like the exploration aspect of an art journal. However, I seem to have a hard time doing it in a bound journal! I've got tons of big pieces of paper with my experiments in messy piles. Yours looks like art. Mine just look like confused and unfinished piles of experiments. But I do enjoy "playing". I'm just frustrated with my method of keeping them.
I totally understand Debbie. I think we all get "blocks" about certain things, judging ourselves. That inner critic says, "this isn't good enough, etc" Here is my suggestion (not that you asked!)....I would glue your favorite papers into an art journal, sketchbook, or notebook even if you don't think they are the best. Don't overthink it--maybe you like the colors or the design, just choose some to include. The remaining papers I would use as collage. Don't give up--press on!
Love your free style. Love to see this book👍👍👍
Thanks for your kind words Jany! I hope you are inspired to make art.
Thank you Pam for sharing your Art journal. Such cool creations! I love them!
Thanks so much Lisa! I hope you are inspired to go make art!

Art is fun and YOU make it so much fun. Thank you
I appreciate that so much Mathilde! I desire to be down-to-earth and show how much fun art can be--so you made my day!
Thank you, it is indeed inspiring, your raw art journal!
I appreciate you watching and letting me know!
I am definitely drawn to the grungy art and love that piece too!
So glad to hear that Alyson! Seems like there is a group of us that like that look although I know it's not for everyone.
Congratulations on this finished journal!! Beautiful and ALWAYS inspiring!! Thanks Pam!! ~❤~
