Creating a Mini Pocket Journal

Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone is having a good week.  My week is going well.  This week I created a mini pocket art journal using canvas, gesso, acrylic paint, stencils, scrap papers, string, ribbon, wire, chain and boho beads I made previously.  First I cut a piece of canvas the size that I wanted to make the journal.  I added white Gesso to both sides of the canvas.  I then used acrylic paint to add color to the cover and used various colors of acrylic paint and various stencils to decorate the cover.  I sewed in a mix of papers and then tied ribbons to the spine of the journal.  I added some boho beads that I created previously to a chain and attached those to the journal and then added an elastic closure.  Here are pictures of the mini journal I created.

And here is a video showing how I created this journal.

I really like the way this journal turned out and can't wait to start using it.  If you have any questions, please leave me a comment.  Thank you for stopping by and watching my video.  Until next time, Happy Creating.

Inktober 2019 Wrap-up

Hello creative friends. I hope everyone is having a good week.  My week has been busy.  But I was able to finish Inktober and really happy with the results.  Here are the final drawings that I created for the last week of Inktober.  I used pen and ink, watercolors or colored pencils for the coloring and white pen for highlights. 

And here is a video showing a flip through all of my 2019 Inktober drawings.

I had a lot of fun participating in Inktober this year and only missed a couple of days.  This is my second year doing Inktober and I want to try to continue practicing drawing animals over the next year leading up to the next Inktober challenge.  We'll see how that goes LOL.  Thank you for stopping by and watching my video.  Until next time, Happy Creating.
