A page from my book journal made with sticker paper background, handmade paper, metallic watercolor, metallic marker, scrapbookpaper and stickers.
I am a lifelong bookworm. My art practice is inextricably intertwined with my art. After finishing my illustration degree, I am back to working full time in my career that was sidelined by illness. I have not turned my back on my art, but instead, I am finding ways to integrate both into my present and future life. I started an art/book journal in late 2020, and at that point it was just dabbling. Casually working with scrapbooking supplies I have from my cardmaking and collage work.
The past month, I have dived in hard and I am (in my typical obsessive way) building up/out my book journal. I love it. I love the freedom of working in that space. I am thankful for the Illustrated Notebook class I took my last semester of school. It very much opened my mind to the possiblities. I also thank the You Tube journaling/art community for the videos that have instructed me and stimulated my imagination. I plan to post some of my pages on my blog here and there.
