Art Journal Flippage

I finished a journal at the end of last week, which wasn't exactly hard, seeing as it was only a recycled brochure (and therefore small) that I used to make the journal...still I get a great feeling of satisfaction whenever I fully complete a journal.
I gessoed the pages, added more collage in the form of junk mail etc and then only used acrylic paint in the book for the actual creating (well, on occasion I added a little pen as you see above but hey it is a journal, not just a book of paintings). As it's a very small journal I'm not going to show any more of the pages as it would ruin the surprise of the flip (& some paintings in it I've already posted on here like the snow leopard)...but I will say my favourite painting is the last one in the journal, of the squinting man in a black and white check suit. I loved painting that page!
As the video is short I added some quick drawing & painting process treats in there also, which really made me like the result of the video; although I also think that's because I find the music I used really beautiful. It also has in this journal the blue woman I have recently added to the side of this blog...and as bloody blogger would not accept the video on here before here is the process of her creation (if you click over to watch it on youtube you will see some tutorial annotation notes I have added to it, which don't show up on blogger - again grrr!!):
Think that's all for now peeps, much love & happy creating to everyone :) xxx

  11. Hi,

    I love your work! I'm so glad I've found your blog.
    The videos on washi tape and how to store them are just genius. I absolutely love washi tape. I haven't used your method jet but I've put a reference to your blog and the two video's on my blog (http://artblogsusan.blogspot.com). If you don't want that, please email me and I will delete it as soon as possible.

  12. Gorgeous journal! Thanx for the videos and tutorials. I still have not gotten beyond stick figures at this point so perhaps I will attempt a 'blue' woman stick figure journal ;)...Thanx for sharing and for all of the inspiration.
