    It's so cool and beautiful. Though, I had a mini heart attack when you ripped the pages of the book. Hahaha

    • @MercurialMilk
      @MercurialMilk  5 років тому +31

      haha thanks! People attach way too much meaning to the sanctity of books. It was either going to get shredded and recycled or I could elevate it to make it useful. I think this way it's a lot better.

  • @joonsmelodie9927
    @joonsmelodie9927 Рік тому +1

    I really appreciated this tutorial, esp bc its all very simple & done with basic supplies we all probably have on hand already. So many other channels seem to want to make the art journaling process a huge, complicated & very expensive experience when it doesn't have to be. Lol I swear, everytime I see a tutorial I like on YT it will somehow involve buying still even MORE art supplies when I know for a fact that I now have more than enough mediums, tools, etc (a huge setup actually) for creating pretty much anything at this point. So thanks very much!!🙏🥰

    I have watched so many videos,I am so creative. But new to art journaling. Ive been in a rut & stuck. So many videos have similar ideas....but something in the way you spoke, did them, and wow I feel as I can actually do it. I am a total visual learner and although I love to hear people talk, something with this quick to the point video was just what I needed. Thanks for sharing...loved every idea!!!

    @MaidMirawyn 5 років тому

    So glad I found your video; I needed some inspiration! I'm traveling internationally in three weeks. I bought a slim soft cover Moleskine for the trip (my usual book is too heavy and bulky), and need to make some backgrounds. I won't have time or space to do that in my hotel room, and don't want to carry that many supplies. (Probably just a couple of Copic multiliners, a couple of rolls of washi tape, a waterbrush, and watercolor pencils or water-soluble oil pastels.)
    Tissue paper with acrylics or stamp ink is one of my favorite tricks! I rescued some white tissue with glitter at Christmas; I'm planning to apply it over a painted background. I think it will add some sparkle without being too in your face.
    I have a feeling that the spray bottle technique is going to become a staple. I'm going to experiment with that this weekend. I think both the gradient edge and negative space variations will be great for a text-heavy page. I think I'll try some ripped shapes, too; the feathery edges might be nice.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    • @MercurialMilk
      @MercurialMilk  5 років тому

      Absolutely! It's so good to hear you enjoyed this! I always prep a bunch of pages too, it's just so much easier for journaling on the go or travel. I hope your trip goes really well!! xx
