'Raw Art Journalling - Making Meaning' by Quinn Macdonald.
I keep toying with Art Journalling and I was keen to read this book, but I still don't feel very confident about it.
Quinn Macdonald writes well on getting rid of your Art Gremlins and Giving Yourself Permission. I did try Doodling on my Month in Numbers for April and quite enjoyed the process, but wasn't in love with the result.
She gives some great ideas for playing with words, which I've saved for the summer when I have more time and I love the idea of using 'Imagery as a Background' but I have yet to spot a suitable photo-op.
There are some good ideas for making your own journals as well.
Whilst I, personally, was not super inspired by this book, I found the visual imagery very interesting and I think it would be fantastic if you were a bit further along the AJ journey that I am.
Leave me a comment if you would like the next turn with Raw Art Journalling and I'll draw a winner after the Bank Holiday on 8th May
I have 2 things to confess:
1. Today I did something I haven't done in 3 years - I bought 3 birthday cards!!!.
I know!! But I have been soooo busy with work that I just couldn't find time to make them. Officially, I teach part-time - a 50% timetable. Will someone explain, then, why I have spent every waking hour for the last 4 weeks marking and doing college-related paperwork?
2. My second confession is that I received this book from Melissa before Christmas as part of the Pass the Book scheme. I read it (well looked at the pictures, there isn't much text), I enjoyed it, and then I put it away in a safe place and forgot about it!
So now it's definitely time for me to Pass the Book on. If you'd like to be next in line for it, just leave me a comment letting me know you're interested, before Friday 10th February and I'll put you into the draw.
Here's a sneaky peak inside to give you an idea of the content - lots of gorgeous layouts, all with a Faith theme:
Ok, so what is my penance? No... please.... not another set of marking!!
