Creative Journal Techniques



I've started my class w/ Sue Bleiweiss and have made 2 journals. For the first lesson, she also suggested coloring paper with shaving cream marbling but instead, I've purchased both watercolors and pastels and will try those. I also have a nice set of drawing pencils. Honestly, I have difficulty drawing a straight line without a ruler, but both of these techniques lend themselves to broad strokes so I'm hoping to have some success.


Keep and eye out and let me know what you think.

I also discovered a site called Every Day Matters Challenge that has inspirational ideas for drawing and journaling and I hope to do some of both to put into my newly made journals. This is a link to the Flickr site, but there is also a Yahoo Group.
