Mixed Media Collage Process on a Gelli Plate Background

It's been an awfully long time since I created any art at all, especially a mixed media collage. So with that in mind I decided it was time to get out the paints, books and glue and get creating.

I had already created the background using a Gelli Plate so was ready to go straight in to creating a collage. I wanted it to have a slight 'zetti style', but with a more vintage seaside vibe.

Have a look at the creative process in the video below. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for future videos.

Mindful and positive journaling for my word of the year 2020 #positivejournal #mindfuljournaling #wordoftheyearjournaling

I had a fantastic year in 2019 and I am keen to maintain that into 2020 in both my journaling and personal achievements. It makes sense therefore that my Word of the Year for 2020 should be just that... 'Maintain'. I want to start the year with some positive journaling and mindfulness; start the year as I mean to go on.

Creative Journaling to tell my story using the Once Upon a Time October 2019 kit from the Lollipop Box Club #creativejournal #creativejournaling #mentalhealthjournaling

Please save me to Pinterest.

I love that moment when you start to work on a new journal. It is however always difficult to know where to start with it and what to put on your first pages. The October kit; 'Once Upon a Time' from the Lollipop Box Club however is PERFECT for the first few pages of a journal as this month it is all about telling your own story. Join me in a bit of journaling for mental health and happiness.

Tiny Tn Micro Art Journal

Tiny art journals and micro journaling has really taken off this year. I have used mine for art journaling and mixed media, with a mix of collage, watercolour and layering. #tinytn #microjournal #microart #tinyartjournal #microart

Tiny art journals and micro journaling has really taken off this year. I got this tiny tn (travelers notebook) from the UKPA Big Meet in January and wasn't sure how to use it. I then saw a lot of people were using theirs for art journaling and mixed media, so of course I had to join in.

I have loved creating collage and watercolour art journal pages in this. It is much simpler than using a large journal as it is much less intimidating. I never struggle with what to put on the page, I just get out my supplies and create. I can whip up a journal page in less than 10 minutes.

Below is a flip through of my fully completed micro tn. I had so much fun using this, that I now have started 2 more!
