Hi Anja:

There’s definite overlap between our work and it’s been SO SO FUN watching your work evolve on our Facebook group. I also want to thank you for your beautiful description of that work as “dot clouds.” It goes along with the sort of thing I’m playing with, outer space type themes, but I love the descriptor. Thank you! I never cease to be surprised at all the amazing things you can do just with dots and simple patterns. Thanks again so much for taking the time to watch and comment here, I really do appreciate it and am so THRILLED that you find inspiration here.
Creatively Yours,
Amy

Your work is so aesthetic and looking at these pages makes me happy! The dot clouds at 1:09 complemented by the watercolour snippets are my favourite! And yes, i also find it very satisfying to complete many pages!

Exactly. As you say, start with a simple vision and if it organically grows that’s fine but if not, best not to force it and let it be. Thanks Amy. Great advice as always

HI Michelle:

Oh how great that you are in Wanderlust! I’ll be popping in with my lesson in the summer. 🙂 Thank you for your thoughtful words about the journal and how it’s varied yet cohesive – that’s good to know! 😉 And I’m thrilled you enjoyed seeing the other artists’ work. They are BEYOND inspiring.

Cheers,

Amy

Hi Jenny!

I just love what you have to say about not over-complicating things. My personal opinion (and taste) is to not make journal pages overloaded or too busy. I think most of the time when folks are unhappy with the pages, what my artistic sensibility sees is too much going on. That said, there are other wonderful artists I admire who would disagree, but I can only share my own vision. 🙂 The benefit of working this way is it’s simpler, more clear, more fun. 🙂 I agree, even when I get complicated, I think going simple is a great place to start. Some of my pages have just a few touches and that’s it. Happy creating Jenny!

🙂 Amy

Love seeing the many different ways you interpret a shape (like the Ginko leaf) to create a journal with pages that are all unique works of art, yet the whole journal is cohesive. Just beautiful. I enjoyed the artist links also.
Thanks,

I realised that I probably over complicate some of my ideas and render myself blocked in the application. Some of your pages are so pretty and interesting with pleasing colours and repetition in a shape. I will try and simplify my plans and produce more. I expect some of what you achieved are more complex whilst others can be simplified to create such effects. Thanks again for sharing 🎨🖍🙂
