Watch as I try out my new huge tray to make giant sunimagashi prints!

Were you given a beautiful journal and don’t know that to do with it? Want to buy an art journal but don’t want to “ruin” it? There are many ways to be creative or express yourself that don’t require keeping a traditional journal or be an artist. Here I go through different types of journals you might have heard of and ways to use them.

I have a huge stash of different assorted papers. In this session I decided to try out a variety of paper types, including a lot of vintage office and stationery papers. Some work, some don’t!

Rust printing uses rusty objects to leave behind rust marks on paper or fabric. I love to use these papers in collage or as pages in my art journals. This video is part tutorial, part demonstration as I’m always experimenting and improving my technique. As with eco-printing you will never have total control over the results and that is part of the excitement of the process!

A complete flip-through of a new series of junk journals I made using vintage book covers and filled with dyed paper, graph and ledger papers, book text and more.

I wanted to make a grungy oversized blank book inspired by a sort of post-apocalyptic setting. I used rust-printed papers and faux metallic finishes on the cover, with tea dyed page inside. I go through the whole process from conception to final flip-through.

A cairn collage is simply cutting out papers in shapes like stones and “stacking” them in a pile, like a cairn, or marker. Here I make some mixed media papers to mimic some natural stone textures.
