It seems less daunting and more fun. I love the “inchies”. Starting small gives me the permission to do a quick project. I liked the instant gratification of it. Thank you!

HI Maria:

I’m so happy you are loving the Mindful Art Studio community; it’s lovely to have you! I think there’s something to the idea of starting your day with a brain dump, but there’s real value in ending your day this way too if that works better for you. I think the idea is to empower yourself creatively in the way that works well for you.

Cheers,

Amy

Would it make any difference do you think if your ‘morning pages’ were ‘night time pages’? I ask because I get up a 6am and I’m busy from the get go. I can’t face the thought of getting up even earlier so if we’re to write it would have to be before bed.
I love your blog and the Facebook group.
Thanks Amy. x x

I’m working with writing, drawing, and layering paint. This page stayed the way you see it in the end of the video for a month or two, and then it suddenly it seemed undone to me, and I transformed into the page below.  If you look closely, you can see the text under the thin layer of high flow paint and Neocolor crayon on the right-hand side. Work in layers in your art journal and I believe you’ll discover so much more. […]

Recently found some old journals; hard to read and needed to somehow take care of the younger me who poured her heart out so I transformed excerpts into pieces of art in my current Art Journal…. Soul satisfying!
