5s Journal - Prompt 4 - Pictures & Words and Prompt 5 - Pen & Ink

Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone is having a great week.  Here is the final 2 videos, video 4 - Pictures & Words and video 5 - Pen & Ink, for a 5s journal that I created.  I came across a video from Cat Hand where she was creating a 5s journal.  She got the idea from a video Shannon Green posted.  And I just had to try it.  The idea of a 5s journal is 5 Sessions, 10 Prompts, 15 Minutes on 20 Pages.  Basically you have 5 sessions for 15 minutes each to work on 20 pages as you go through the 10 prompts below:

1. Paint & Ink
2. Collage & Recycled Papers
3. Stamps & Stencils
4. Words & Images
5. Pen & Ink.

Shannon Green explains the whole process in her video located here:

And Cat Hand's 1st video showing her 5s journal process can be found here:

The journal I used had 30 pages so I allowed myself 25 minutes for each session, however I only was able to complete one of the prompts within the 25 minutes allotted.  It was quite challenging, but a lot of fun.  Here are four more pictures from the completed journal:

Here is the 4th video for the 5s Journal I created for pictures and words.  This is where the journal really started to come together.

And here is the 5th video for the 5s Journal I created for pen and ink.  I used pens to outline items and do some doodling.  But since this is a quick video and the journal is pretty much complete at this point, I decided to go ahead and post this one as well.

Hope you enjoy the videos and I hope you try creating your own 5s journal.  It was so much fun that I plan to do another one soon.  Until next time, happy creating.

Mixed Media Canvases - The Key

Hello creative friends.  I finally got this video edited and thought it would be perfect for this weekends #lovesummerart YouTube Creators Video Event as well.  These are four canvases that I created recently using paint, stencils, stamps and ephemera.  Not sure what I will do with them, because my walls are already filled with artwork from various artists.  I wanted to create a grouping of canvases using mixed media and will probably use them as a Christmas gift or something.  Here are pictures of the canvases I created.

And here is the video showing how I created these canvases.

5s Journal - Prompt 1 - Paint

Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend.  Mine was very relaxing and lots of creating, love it.  This weekend while watching YouTube videos I came across a video from Cat Hand where she was creating a 5s journal.  She got the idea from a video Shannon Green posted.  And I just had to try it.  The idea of a 5s journal is 5 Sessions, 10 Prompts, 15 Minutes on 20 Pages.  Basically you have 5 sessions for 15 minutes each to work on 20 pages as you go through the 10 prompts below:

1. Paint & Ink
2. Collage & Recycled Papers
3. Stamps & Stencils
4. Words & Images
5. Pen & Ink.

I managed to get through all of the sessions and prompts over the weekend and completed my journal.  I decided to use a little journal I already had that had 30 pages so I allowed myself 25 minutes for each session, however I only was able to complete one of the prompts within the 25 minutes allotted.  It was quite challenging, but a lot of fun; And although I was not thrilled with my journal during the first couple of stages, in the end I really liked the way it turned out.  I will post pictures of a couple of the pages with each blog post I do along with each video I created showing how I worked through each session.  Here are some of the pages from the journal I created:

And here is the video showing the first session where I was attempting to put paint on every page with 25 minutes.  I didn't make it.  I believe it took me about 35 - 40 minutes to get paint on all of the pages.  

Have you heard about the 5s journal yet?  If so have you tried it yet?  I hope you do, it is a lot of fun; And within an hour or two you have a completed journal.  I will post the other videos, as I work through editing them, along with more pictures from this little journal.  Until next time, happy creating.
