Wreck this journal - week 5

Posted by

Another great week of wrecking!


I decided to try out vlogging and show myself...which was a stretch because I am so much more comfortable behind the camera.

If you listen to my video and have a suggestion or answer for me, please leave it in the comments. Thank you :)

I added the photos of my pages below too, in case you can't make them out in the vlog or that you bypass it!

    Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts a book
    Art Chix http://www.artchixstudio.com/ they sell mixed media supplies but also have tutorial pages.

    Congrats on your first vlog ~ it's wonderful, and you are adorable!

    I love your white flowers so much. I could live in that page.

    And who did you steal all those stickers from? Your poor kids, lol? Meanwhile, I gotta get me some penpals from other countries, all my stamps are so boringgggzzzzz! Pretty pretty pages.

    That was a great vlog. I shouted out "me too" about the mixed media stuff! I've had a real week of experimentation with different creative projects and even posted a message on the noticeboard at work for old style/house/garden magazines that I can rip up and make things with! I've got a couple of books that cover mixed media among other stuff:
    Artist Trading Card workshop by Bernie Berlin
    The decorated journal by Gwen Diehn
    I got them here in the UK but I'm sure you can get them through Amazon.

    And I was visiting one of my regular haunts and saw that this artist is planning some online workshops - including mixed media!

    Wonderful job with the video and pages!!

    Claudine Hellmuth has a couple books with introductory mixed media projects that I think are a great place to start exploring! And you can always just starting playing and experimenting! :-)

    Hi Alex
    Loved your vlog and all your creative/wrecking pages. I find that I don't so much wreck as I have fun and just do.

    Jamie has paired us for sharing our fav. page.

    This looks like way too much fun. perhaps I'll have to join in. I also know Cassidy would love it - so perhaps a gift coming her way would be a nice treat for her.

    I did my very first vlog this week too!!(well - Friday) I rarely post my picture and I don't think I've ever recorded my voice either -- so this was a giant step. There's something about this group of wreckers that just draws us out of our comfort zones!

    You acted and sounded like you've been doing it for years :) great job! Your white page - genius! love it. I think I, too, need to find some pen pals as someone else commented lol

    Have a great week!
