​Hi all, today I am sharing a recent art journal with me mixed media and collage video from a Facebook Live from my art and journaling group: Kerrymay Makes A Mess 

The video shows you step by step how I created a zetti art style collage in a Teesha Moore style.

If you want to journal along with me or have a go at a later time you will need some of the resources that I used:

Acrylic paints, an old credit card style card, gold paints, a magazine with models in it and interesting bits of papers with unusual bright patterns plus scissors and glue. A chalk or paint pen would also be ideal for the lettering and a black pen for outlining. ​ I used a Uni-pin pen, but a biro will work too.

​I was fortunate enough to be sent this fabulous thermal printer from PoooliPrint. 
​It's sooo cute. I'm loving it! It's mainly available in the U.S, but does offer Worldwide shipping.

With most of the World in lockdown, quarantine and isolation, I thought it would be a good time to collate a list of links, ideas and resources to keep you busy, creative and to occupy your minds during this period of 'downtime'.

​I will be covering free art classes, Facebook groups that promote creative journaling, the best of You Tube tutorials, ideas for children, hand lettering freebies and the best free resources and entertainment from my blog and online.

​​Hi all, well what a week! I hope that you are all staying safe. I am thinking of each and every one of you xx

Today I am creating vintage collage sheets using a variety of ephemera, die cuts and papers. These can then be used as master boards that you can scan and print and reprint as you wish. You could also edit them in image software to make them black and white or sepia toned. They make great happy mail to send out or to use in Junk Journals, creative journaling and art journals.

These were created for a challenge over in my Facebook Art Journaling Group

I hope that the video inspires you to create your own. 

​It's been a while since I updated my 'Happiness' junk journal and there were a good few pages that I still hadn't done any journaling on. I decided to dust it off and get some creative journaling done on some old book pages using ​this months kit from the Lollipop Box Club.

For ​these first two pages I used gesso to cover the pages with a thin layer. This is not something I would usually do, but I was trying out the gesso, hahaha. I do actually like the effect it gave and it did make the pages more sturdy.
