Visual Journaling

Thanks to hogret on deviantART for the picture!

I was at Barnes and Noble the other day... I always go straight to the art section. I found some books!! The Journal Junkies Workshop is a great book for inspiration, ideas, tips, and tricks on how to create a beautiful visual journal. I was really interested in it because I don't really like to write that much. I would much rather paint or draw (even if I'm not that great at it). I've just started. Right now, my first page just looks like a mash up of different magazine clippings, words I wanted to get out, doodles, and neat splatters I created.

I also found a book called Water Paper Paint. It too gives tips, tricks and ideas for creating. However, this is mainly watercolor and mixed media, but it can definitely be employed in a visual journal... which is EXACTLY what I plan to do!

I'm so excited and can't wait to start this stuff!!!!

Purple. The color of royalty. Mainly because the dye used to make it was so expensive, only people with enough money could afford it. Like me, it was Cleopatra's favorite color. I'm honestly not sure how I came to love it so much. I just know that a lot of the stuff I own is some shade of purple and the things I buy are based upon my favorite color.
