Check out my art journal and the art it helped me make

Mar 29, 2017Art Journaling for fiber artists., How to think like an artist6 comments

So, today, Fiberista, I have a new video for you.

I was looking through some old posts trying to think of what we would talk about today and I found this post where I shared a video of my art journal. Can you believe that was 6 weeks ago? I have to say, my journal has evolved so much since then. Not just as a work art in and of itself, but in relationship to how much work I have done in the last 6 weeks.

Ever since art school, art journaling has been hands down the best way for me to stay creative, process ideas for my work, and keep details as I work. Here is an updated video of my journal today, and some of the work it has inspired in the last 6 weeks.

I can kind of feel my momentum taking a tiny dip and I really want to keep it going. So I am challenging myself during the month of April to work my art journal daily for 30 days. I am going to post the work daily to Instagram, and will be using the hashtag #30daysartjournaling. Feel free to join in!

    Brilliant – I love it. Lots of beautiful art but also some pages which are just thoughts or beginnings waiting for the ideas to develop. Best of all I feel that I could take this approach and I’ve always felt rather daunted by the prospect of art journaling. Thank you. You always inspire.

      I am so glad you get how simple it can be. I used to be intimidated about art journaling for the very same reasons. Yay!!!

    Reminds me a little of the sketch journal the prof had us keep in the pottery classes I took in college (so, so long ago). Except yours is way more colorful, and cooler (:

    I love your videos and blog posts. You’re always so inspiring, Stacey. I’ve gotten away from my fiber art lately, but this is getting me motivated again. Thank you!

My Fiber Art Journal

I have been keeping an art journal since I was 18. Back then I was in art school and it was my sketchbook, a requirement for all of my art classes from day one. I resisted at first, it seemed like such a frivolous task. But, I soon realized that it was key to fleshing...
