I first heard of this type of journaling a few years ago and was intrigued, but not at all tempted to create one. Until I was a few months back, and then I couldn’t wait another day to get started on my own version of a DIY daily journal! So I did, and it was […]

I hope you’ll be as inspired and happy as […]
A Book just for You my Darling
Happy Leap Day! My new art journal is an altered book again. This one is a little smaller than my previous very big and chunky Cut and Paste Journal. I thrifted this book a few years ago, and until now it has just been sitting in my stash of books to cut up or use […]
Getting started with my DIY Postcards
I have started on my fall batch of DIY Postcards, and they’re going to be a fun mix of things (very mixed media) this time, I think. It feels like it’s been a long time since I created in this messy non-linear way and I had a lot of fun with this process. In case […]
The Embroidered Heart and the Fear of Failure
I love the beautiful symbol of love and its many pains; the heart. I’ve been obsessed with the heart shape for over a decade, and I am just now working on several different textile pieces for an exhibition I want to set up. I think I stopped working on my embroidered hearts last year so […]
Get Started | Make a Postcard from Scratch
It’s time to make postcards, don’t you agree? Here I’m making a postcard from Scratch – Part 1: Getting started. Making postcards is not difficult. Anyone can do it, and with a bit of effort, I think you’ll love the postcards you make yourself even more than store bought ones. They are more personal, more […]
Find what you Love and let it kill you
My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better […]

Another page from Smart Journal vol 2. The text on the page above reads: Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you create, as long as it is something. The most important thing is that you get started, that you give your [art journal] project some space and a bit of air… One way to do this […]

It’s the Start of a Beautiful Postcard
It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you came from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. Oprah Winfrey I’ve started cutting postcard sized pieces. I’ve printed me some faux postal stamps and realize they’re a bit big for stamps. Next time I’ll make smaller stamps. Maybe with more empowerment! I’m painting backgrounds, […]
