Tiny Tn Micro Art Journal

25/10/2019

 
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!

Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art (Mrs Brimbles)

15/3/2019

 
Watercolour and Brusho Snowdrops Art With Me Mrs Brimbles
It's been a long time since 1, that I have created any watercolour art and 2, that I have done a post for Anna Brim, but yay, I can say that I am happy to be back doing both. I was so inspired by Anna's watercolour snowdrops video tutorial over on her patreon page - patreon.com/mrsbrimbles, that I decided to add my own twist to it using Colourcraft Crystal Colours Brusho as well as watercolour and stamping ink. I still used drawing gum to create a resist for the snowdrops. You can see my full process in the video below.

"Hard work reaps rewards"
Hard work does indeed reap rewards, I had a great year last year and wanted to incorporate working hard and rewarding myself into both my journaling and my Word of the Year for 2019.  Last year I focused on the word 'Happy' and it was a great success.  You can see more on last years word here Word of the Year 2018.

Self Care is so important, if you don't look after yourself then you will struggle in other aspects of your life.  I love adding a bit of self love into my journaling as you can see from my self care and mood tracking journaling pages.

This years pages are an extension of this idea, but with the added notion of working hard to receive it.

Creating a Watercolour Moon Art Journal Page

22/11/2018

 
Beautiful art journal page of a watercolour moon in a Wintery theme using Anna Brims Patreon goodies #artjournalpage #artjournalinspiration #artjournalideas
Hi everyone, wow it's nearly Christmas, time flies! Today I have been playing around with a few things from Anna Brims Patreon goodies to create a Wintery themed art journal page. I'm in love with this page, the colour, the texture, the mood, it all sings to me and makes me warm and fuzzy.

For this page I followed a video tutorial of Anna creating a moon page like this one, but with a painted unicorn... you can get this as a collage sheet and I tell you now, it's stunning (you can see a sneak of it below in the photograph).
