Art Journal Technique: Traveling with your Journal Part 2 Page Prep

In this video I prep the pages of my art journal for travel. I use my own rubber stamps, carved corks, and acrylic paint to make patterns and color the pages. I had previously colored the pages with acrylic and added some collage elements.

what are the sheets you're using as separators? Wax paper?

@crosseyedNtonguetied for this one I was using pieces of heavy plastic from bags, but I don't recommend it, acrylics tends to stick to it, you are much better off using waxed paper

Your videos are so awesome, Leslie. Who'd have thought you were so apprehensive just a few weeks ago about appearing on camera? Look at you now...you're rockin' it, girl! YAY!!! Keep 'em coming...I learn so much from you.

Peace & Love,

~Barb~

@ACraftJunkie I'm still apprehensive, but better about hiding it. LOL. I hope to keep making the videos! Hope the ideas keep coming!

I'll give you a link when I get home. It's Kristen Hersh in this video. She sang for the throwing Muses and 50Ft Wave. I'll get you a link to her downloads. She's super indie and super awesome.

And thank you for your thoughts I appreciate it!

I'm really glad to hear that you like my videos! I am a hoarder of materials and I look for deals. Most of what I get I get on sale. 40% off coupons. the Art Journal community has been awesoe to me and these videos are my way of giving backl I'll keep making them as long as I can. I'm very much a "what you see if what you get." I'm the friend people go to when they want a honest answer. I'll keep it real!

You & your mom are in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well with the surgery and the recovery.

Thanks again for sharing - great work as always.

The song you picked out for this is very beautiful - is it available somewhere?

*hugs*

I really really enjoy your videos. Partly because you use what you have around and don't seem to spend a ton of money for supplies, so it's so down to earth and I love that! :D Plus you are just so "REAL" and natural and not fake and that is another wonderful trait! Your videos and journals are awesome! :D I look forward to seeing lots more!
