Each individual is unique & different... We go through testes & trails so God can refine us as pure gold. Your bullet journal is beautiful because it's a reflection of you. Keep up the awesome work!
"I'm not perfect, but I'm real" - I love that, Ali. Thank you for showing your authentic self through your gifts and the 'warts and all' journal posts! I can say that I've never paused to read your entries but I can appreciate that it is your space to speak to God, express yourself and vent. So make no apologies for being human, especially in the form of art making. Thank you for this video.
Female figure drawing you showed is stunning Ali! Wow! I think female figure is beautiful, divine and nothing to be ashamed of , youve been an inspiration through out. Thanks
I was just watching your old videos back today and hoped for a new one.💕 And there it is. I love it Ali. To see how your style evolves and how you get better and better at art.❤
As someone who also deals with past sexual abuse and also someone following a goddess-driven faith path, it's hella inspiring to me that you're exploring the female figure to work through some of that baggage. Keep it real!
Hi Ali! I hope you are not in the flooding zones in Texas. I love everything you do and so appreciate your authenticity! God Bless! Carole Parks, Spokane, Wa
YAY! This video (as do ALL your videos) made me so happy! I also want to let you know that I recently bought some matte medium AND tried printing on tissue paper! So many possibilities, hurrah
Love that u can share! I love your art ( have told u before 😉😊) i dont read your journal dont have the need 😉😊 what u want to tell for us is enough. Afful things happend to me also when i was a child and there are so many of us and im so sorry that not even these people did this to us but we still in adult life are strugglering with this😠. Its time for me and us to be happy! ❤❤❤
Thank you for another great video Ali. I was wondering if you would be able to do a craft room tour in the future? I would love to see how you design your craft room and organize your supplies.
You know, its all your fault I have here laying on my desk an all new Midori with 3 inserts?! And you know what else? I LOVE it! I also bought a sprocket so I can tip in (yess finally!) some nice pictures of my husband and kids in it. SO excided to dig in! But had to watch your fliptrough first :D And I had to laugh so hard at your reaction to the feel of the gesso. I have the exact same thing. With goosebumps and all XD
I currently use a large heavy weight paper journal I love the feel of the paper and have enjoyed it for years, The company that makes my journals has changed to a thinner and yuckier feeling paper, I can't describe it, it just feels awful on my hands. I found travelers and fauxs and midoris and am intrigued, have watched most set ups, but they never actually show what I am most interested in, the workings of your journal, how do you use it what do you put in it what size works best etc etc. I think you have given me a good idea and a starting point. Thank you! I am also trying out mixed media and want to incorporate it and I loved how you do that. Please show more! I am worried that I won't like working in a narrow book yet I want to carry it with me and it needs to fit in my purse. I can't tell you how many places I have left my journal and had to go back and wondered how many people read my crazy woman rants! This is way too long! sorry thanks again for sharing.
Confession session. Early on when I first discovered your channel (June or July of this year), I admit I did pause it once. Mainly because I wanted to see if you were really journaling or if it was just a background (sounds crazy, I know)(bc it just looks like fun art to me). And whatever I read, I honest to goodness forgot, but I know it did get a tad personal, and I stopped. But please know I have been lifting you up in prayer 🙇🏾♀️(I can never tell if that emoji is praying or twerking, lol. We will say praying) But haven't read since 😁 You are a beautiful soul. Thanks for inspiring me to creative journal.
Hey there! Like I said in my video, it was my choice to put my journals out on the interwebs knowing that someone may pause and read...so I have to be at peace with my decision. I appreciate your honesty and want to thank you for your self-control to now appreciate the art and techniques without reading my personal entries.
Ali--- delicious art journal !!!! I love it !!! I'm binging on you and James Burke right now! Just torturing myself-- getting over bronchitis, so I can't really do any art yet... AAHHHHH!!!!! Hopefully tomorrow!! Heehee!!! What size inserts do you use, honey?? Are those standard wide? Ok - take care!! You and yours are in my heart and prayers. xo I'm excited to check out your patreon channel next month . Really really excited!!!!!!
Have you tried sealing your journals with a matte or glossy medium? It would take a while to dry, but i think it would have the same effect as the tape.
Ok I find it really weird that people will actually pause the video to read your journal. I know it's there, but I just feel like even though it's possible to read that the reason you are sharing your journal is not for people to read. It's for inspiration as far as your art work and lay outs and stuff. Which by the way beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
It is a bit weird, but they do it. BUT, like I said, it was my choice to put it out there so I have to be ok with that outcome. I appreciate you respecting me by takin' the inspiration and leavin' the personal stuff.
I agree, it's kinda creepy people would stop and read them. Why do people do those things? I think anyone who is sharing their journals with anyone on the internet should indeed cover the personal stuff. Not everyone is nice and has good intentions. I do hope these UA-cam channel personalities see that their whole world is being looked at and they should take the extra step to cover the personal stuff. I can't stress that enough. Her art work is to die for and it's beautiful! I wish I was that talented!
Anyone who actually pauses to read your journal has some serious issues. And it's really creepy, the point is to look at how you're doing the artwork in it and learn something not pry into your personal thoughts, even if it's available to us all. That's just weird. And really who has that much interest in other people that they would even want to do that?
I want to say that I love your journals and how you made them beautiful with your artsy fartsy self! I love art and seeing what others can create! So inspiring! I just want to say that I love that you are opened with the world and are ok with everyone seeing your inner most intimate thoughts but if I were you, I'd take the time to hide some of the stuff that is in the journals that are to you, private and dark, whatever it is...Not everyone needs to see those and I know you may not care, but what if someone uses that info against you? I just don't want to see you in that situation. It can happen...I haven't read anything, I look at the art and take notes on how tos for my own Bujo....but if there is anything in there that is extremely personal, just cover it up! One day your kids will see this and God knows who else and you aren't going to wanna deal with all that. I do wish you well and I love your art and your bubbly personality, but please remember not everyone is nice or has good intentions, so take the time to cover those thoughts, so you can protect yourself from bad people and bad intentions. Just a friendly thought! Thank you for sharing your work! It's beautiful and I just love all of what you do!
Hi ali 👋🏻. I need your expert opinion, I've been using Contact Paper on pages that I want to last. Will that lead to the 'yellowing' that everyone was talking about?
Does anyone know what Ali used on that page that just has bright teal on it by itself? I THINK it might be magical powders but I'm trying to find it. Thanks!
So I found some book repair tape by Scotch on Amazon that's clear and sounds like it might be a little better than packing tape for those who might have that concern. It may or may not be acid-free. Some said yay, some said nay. But I think it won't deteriorate the way packing tape can. So there's that. a.co/0rOABx3
Hey Ali, I found someone reposting your video on youtube... ua-cam.com/video/626wMxXPDtY/v-deo.html I didn't really know what to do, so I'm just letting you know. I really love your videos, so it bothered me to find someone using your content..
VitaMita I am not sure if she saw this comment but if you want to let her know directly you can go to her private message on her UA-cam profile page :)
Hey there! Thank you SOOO much for telling me! I reported it to UA-cam and they took it down. You are always welcome to report it too. All you need is the original video link of mine and UA-cam is pretty good about taking them down. It's a shame that people do it, but it is what it is. Thanks again!!! xoxo

Yay! So awesome. I love the acrylic ink in the waterbrush. Cool idea. Flip throughs are so much fun. Have a fabulous trip!! :-)

YES!!! I plan on filming this when I get back from my ministry trip. So sometime in October MAYBE November. :)
I love seeing you use James' creations
Love your little journals. You're brave to share so much on the web. I was asked to put my journals on display at county faire. Lol, not a chance.
So inspiring Ali. Thank you for sharing x
You know, its all your fault I have here laying on my desk an all new Midori with 3 inserts?!

Love it!!! What is the blue color in your new journal. It was one of the pages u had prepped!!! Gorgeous!!!
If you give me the timestamp, I can try and remember for ya!
Ali Brown it about 21:04. 😜 around there. U were showing your new journal. It's okay if u can't remember. It just caught my eye!!!😍

I totally agree. It's just rude.
do you offer prints of that adorable owl you said is going to the UK?

Hi ali 👋🏻. I need your expert opinion, I've been using Contact Paper on pages that I want to last. Will that lead to the 'yellowing' that everyone was talking about?
If it isn't acid free, then it will lead to yellowing down the road.
How odd people stop to read your journal rather rude imo, tfs your beautiful work. ☺️
It's a little odd to me too, but I gotta be ok with it since I made the choice to show it to the interwebs. Thank you for your kind comment! xoxo
Does anyone know what Ali used on that page that just has bright teal on it by itself? I THINK it might be magical powders but I'm trying to find it. Thanks!
Hey Robin Love! Let me know the timestamp that you saw that page and I can tell ya.
Ali Brown thanks for replying doll! It's 10:35
So I found some book repair tape by Scotch on Amazon that's clear and sounds like it might be a little better than packing tape for those who might have that concern. It may or may not be acid-free.
