Johanna, I really enjoyed your "real & personal" video on first steps in making a journal. Very brave and exciting! I too am just starting with making my own journals and have been watching lots of different videos to obtain all types of ideas. Again, thanks for the wonderful enjoyable video. P.S. Your boys will really appreciate your journals when they show them to their children some day! ~Robin
You should be so proud of yourself. These pages are awesome. I have always had the sense when you talked about your boys where your priorities were. As I have heard over and over there is not right or wrong when doing an art journal. The pages are yours and your alone. You certainly do not need to *justify* whatever you do or don't do to anyone. I am also new to this type of art and as long as I like it, that is all that matters By the way, You were my first inspiration to get into to this type of art. I followed one of you tutorials on making the art journal cover and it turned out *magnificent even if I do say so myself! LOL To me art journals are merely momories and someday when your are old and gray and you look at these journals from time to time, you will only notice the *love* that went into them, not what you think of as mistakes. Will be watching your journey!
just because it's 'only' collaging doesn't mean it's not as wonderful and interesting as abstract intricate art. this was lovely, I loved it. I could feel how you care for your boys by how you worked using their sketches
I really like these videos. your voice and diction is very relaxing and pleasant, and of course the pages inspire me to make my own journal. I just love watching you fix mistakes and make it seem purposeful and whole.
I LOVE this page and I agree that these drawings are adorable! I think you are so talented and I am so grateful I get to watch your videos and learn from you! Please keep going!
I seriously could watch your art over and over again! I actually saw you flip a page in a different video and got a flash of this page and loved it so much I went looking through your channel to see if i could find it! I am so glad you did a video of it. Its so unique and beautiful. Keep up the amazing work!
I have to warm up before doing any project. I love your work and how you worked around the gesso....that must have been a pain for you! The final page was lovely
I have just put my first journal video up and we sound the same. Going with the flow. I was not sure where mine was going too. It was fun though. Love the drawings of your boys.
I really enjoyed this Johanna and I'm new here but I will be back. Great job:-) I also have 2 boys but they are not little anymore. Enjoy them they grow fast!!! Joyce
Thanks for sharing, Johanna! I'm excited that we get to watch you venture into the world of art journaling. Looks like you had a lot of fun creating your first page. I think it's great! Will you still be creating and sharing your junk journals as well?
Hi Donna, thank you so much! Of course! I will always be making and sharing my journals! I am about restock my etsy shop this week so i'm planning a little show and tell video of the new books for early next week too! X

"they're not the best drawings" are you serious those pictures were amazing T.T
thankyou!! now i know what to do with my old magazines
Acrylic goes over gesso and for watercolors you can use watercolor ground.
Love this!
That's pretty!
I think you did a great job with your first pages. :-)
Thank you so much!
your journal is great...
Thank you!!
What's gesco ?? And where could I buy it (I'm probs spelling it room
do you leave blank pages between each of the drawings/ paintings
Way cute
I kept trying to blow a speck off my phone when I realized it was in the video lol
I love this so much and your voice is v relaxing but i just wished you reduce saying "uhm" bc it's not v good to the ear 😅
Too hard yourself 😟
L'écriture sur le film est gênant.
