Today I have a fun art journal project to share with you- As you know, I am a member of the group Get Messy Art Journal. Besides just having fabulous art and journal prompts, the community also does a lot of little swaps or collaborations and I'm usually game for them because they're super fun!
This time, 7 of us "Get Messians" decided to do sort of an art journal round robin, we each start a journal and send it to each other, letting the others create pages in their journals.
The twist? Each journal is a different color! Fun! Mine is pink.
The inside of my journal is made with mixed media paper and gelli printed cardstock, and I bound it using my Zutter Bind It All machine to give it a spiral binding.
Each of us started our own journals so they're all different, some handmade, some not, but all awesome.
In my journal I did 8 pages, they don't have a theme other than being pink.
On this page, I actually used my new Minc machine to foil the quote. I used a toner ink marker to write it out onto a piece of paper, foiled it and then adhered it into my journal.
It's hard to take a picture to get the actual shine, but in person it is pretty cool.
I also created a few "group pages" in my journal, that I am hoping everyone will contribute to.
This page is anything goes-
and I created a couple of pages that are like those activity books I used to do as a kid (anyone else?), where you have a prompt to follow.
About half of the pages in my journal are blank mixed media paper and the other half are gelli prints I made in pink, so some of the pages already have pink backgrounds just waiting for my art homies to add to them.
Wondering what this "Get Messy" is that I speak of?
Get Messy Art Journal is an art journaling program/community. We are a group of like minded art journalers who have come together under this art form to learn, share, practice our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire.
