I’ve been feeling the call toward art journaling because I have a great deal of healing to do after a difficult three years, and written journaling isn’t scratching the surface, much less getting to the deeper stuff. My mom was an artist and I always felt that I had nowhere near the talent she did (and she was happy to let me think that but that’s a whole other story), but I think it’s in there somewhere crying to be let out. I went to one of those painting with a twist workshops with friends and just felt so at home and wanting more, much more. I can’t wait to check out your class!

I’m so happy that I could inspire you – yes – I also get tons of ideas when I quiet my mind! Funny how that works! Yes – and one thing I’d say is that cutting into drawing paper is MUCH easier than watercolor or mixed media paper. I’d recommend starting with the easier. I don’t prefer the thicker paper. XO Amy

I have been keeping an art journal for several months now. I love it and in fact probably an spending too much time in it! ( I am even neglecting my oil painting to play in my art journal.) I am using a lot of collage, watercolor, acrylic, ink, stenciling and quotes and ideas i get from my mindfullness meditation class. I would like to do more drawing in my journal and more intuitive art similar to what you do. I have bought a exacto knife and mat, but have not played with it yet. I also want to try a different way of keeping my journal together. I am thinking about big metal rings and punching holes in mixed media paper. I get so many ideas from watching your site that I can’t wait to try. TY for sharing your experiences with us!
