hi everyone its Keren here welcome to my channel again today I have a little bit
of a different type of video somebody recently asked me to do an art
journaling flip through and I thought that was a great idea kind of show you
where I started and where my journey in our journaling started and the first
book that I had is this one this is a moleskin journal it's a mixed-media
journal I never finished filling it up because as soon as it gets really thick
it's hard to do the last pages and I found other journals that I loved as
well so none of my journals are really actually full but most of them have a
lot of pages so now they some of the journals don't have covers funny enough
their journals don't have covers don't have any pages in them done but the ones
that have half the pages done don't have covers and this page well sometimes oh
this is a strat more the story this is no moleskin this is a strat more mixed
media art journal you can use it for many different things and the first page
is not done but this is actually one of my first first pages that I did all
these pages have all my pages have videos with them if I'm not mistaken I
can't remember this one does but all the other ones do and I remember creating
this one I really loved how our journaling in the journey that it took
me and the like the first one was about courage and actually like trusting in my
abilities to do art and really helped and this is one of my first pages that I
ever did and just flipping through it this is one of my favorite pages that I
ever did this was using the finna be our ace stamps
oh no yeah and prema stamps the circle ones and the butterfly I think this is
fin about I don't know you know what I don't remember what I did but I know I
have videos on some of these and just go check my channel for different videos on
these because I can't remember they were so long ago a few years ago at least
this one life's journey I'm using here a chipboard this is a like a clock triple
and just basically oib the what I liked about this journal is that it really
lays flat I mean you can't remove the pages but it really laid flat and it was
quite big so it was nice that I could get a nice spread all around I think I
used some old book pages here and some see-through things I journaled all
around here I would be curious to read what I actually wrote where my journey
took me and I used to put a going back I used to put like the dates on my
journals and oh there it is March 31st 2015
I don't do that anymore but this one at least I did so I know when it is I
should write down behind everyone so that way I know this is one of my
favorite ones I have to say I love love this one this was done with seven dot
Studios papers designed by by FINA bar and the background it was you should see
the texture it was it's really cool I do not remember what texture I did with
this but I remember creating this I love this one and the trees chipboard and
here April 2nd 2015 so this is kind of a 2015 journal this one is one of my
favorites as well you know you kind of forget what kind of things you created
also for 7 dots to do I dare note all the way up here and I remember making
lines everywhere and this was done I think with premium marketing color bloom
sprays this was actually posted it was actually some published in a magazine in
the Somerset studio and not so much a studio story are generally I think or
one of the some one of the stamping Tain's
magazines I can't remember which one so I was really proud of my first
publication with them and I was really proud of that and it was chosen randomly
so it was really really good here's another one and this one was
created with that glass bead gel from golden I love that gel I should use it
you see it what kind of reminds me of things that I haven't done and I created
my own embellishments this was done creating my own embellishments so I
think there a video on this one as well I actually
can't remember what has videos and has not this one created with I think
alcohol inks but I could be wrong I never know and this is a beta let it go
and let it grow like I mean it was all about you know growing as an artist and
growing as in journaling so I really love this one Wow okay I'm like going
back and I'm not even sure what I did this one I love as well so I love
combining colors adding a lot of texture as you always know this one was done it
has some oh I like this like you can actually not see maybe not seen in the
video but it has some crackle on it it made some really nice texture in the
background this one is a layered one full of possibilities really love this
one as well this one was also done with 7 dots Studios products so I love this
this one for sure has a video this is done with gelatos and also if I'm not
mistaking either Tim holds paper or stamp area rice paper you have to go
look and see which one's because you have to look back on my videos I can't
link all of them YouTube doesn't let you link more than 5 videos and this one is
another one peace on earth this was a thing a troubling time like I wonder if
there is a date here I should really write put dates on them
there's a lot of texture in this and the background is like a map but one of the
things I think I use this specific right if the specific title of sentiment
because there was something going on at the time and I'm guessing 2015 I mean I
just don't know the date so that's now going back through it and maybe I should
start putting dates on my other ones so I wrote it so I remember I must have
skipped a paper here I don't know why I did that sometimes that happens and then
I did this one create this is a very thick one also has a video and I was
trying to do some central piece here and I really like this one this one has a
video as well and it's very like textured and everything so that's good
so what happens is that it stops being flat once you have a lot of them done so
it's kind of different to to create when it's not completely
flat so nowadays I created my juggles our journals which is something I
discovered just this January but this was 2015 and this is just playing I mean
this is not our journaling but just playing and see you see I have a lot of
empty pages here and I don't finish my art journal so that's okay I mean I
could do a journal cover with it as well but I really like that it's a really
nice journal and it makes me feel good about how I did it I looking back I
really loved all of them so I'm really happy that I'm looking back on to them
I'm going to bring another journal so I'm going to divide this video and I'm
gonna have another video coming up in a couple days with all my juggles journals
which are the newest ones but right now I want to show you this and so this is
part of the the this is the illusions journal okay this is a really really
good journal but because it got so thick I've actually had to cut it off so and
what happened is that let me just see where it was when it happened so I'm
gonna go through this so what I had to do is that I actually had it was like
this okay and I actually had to remove part of it and I was going to make a
cover for this when I just haven't done it yet only because it got so thick that
he looked like an accordion and I could not get it closed and he would not
flatten out so I want to show you so how to do this you can just cut it up with a
little exacto knife and then just make a new cover and I think I will should do
covers because it doesn't look good when it doesn't have the real cover on it but
in the meantime I just want to show it to you so this is another journal this
is a much smaller journal this is a 5x8 dilutions journal and again it starts
being really flat and it works great when it's flat but as soon as like it
starts becoming an accordion that's where I find it difficult to work with
so I like the juggles journals because you can actually remove the pages and I
will show you that it come in a couple days for the other video too so you can
see it this one is using chipboard and I use sprays these are the Premack color
bloom sprays let's see the page or so this one is really cool this
one was done also with the illusion stamps but one of the cool techniques
with this one is that I use a salt technique and result resist technique
and it created really cool backgrounds I'm not sure what mediums I might have
used brushes here but I don't remember so best thing to do is actually look
back at my videos and you'll see all these are really cool textures that was
done with salt and it looks amazing so again this is really nice and I could
have journaled around here but I didn't I just this was on a more like a
positive love-life kind of note so the colors are also more are also brighter
so I really like this as well and this is the other side this is I actually
tried this whole technique and I've never worked with this page but it has
amazing texture that I could actually work with I just haven't worked with it
yet but again it's pretty flat and it has like it's pretty contained over here
this is one of my favorite pages this is done with the rest pace and there's
definitely a video on this and you'll see that there's actually two pages of
these because I did this on a live show when I used to do artist live it was a
show that I started up a new stream and this was one of the pages that I did I
did the salt technique behind this as well
which was used from a different video and then I used a rust paste and I even
used here some of Prima foiling techniques so that's really cool this is
one of my favorite ones and you'll see soon that there's another one and there
it is so be yourself be strong and I love the combination of the blue patina
colors and the rough space that's one of my favorite combinations and I even use
golden this is before there was waxes so the Prima waxes the finna bear waxes
came after this so I use actual paint to create the same effect with that so I
used a gold paint for this one okay now this is me experimenting as you can see
not everything has over okay now this is what's sticking out oh no it's very
stuck so to avoid what's happening to me now
okay there is a special product that I will list below in the description area
as it's called Dorland wax and what it does is that it makes it that you that
this will work I mean it makes it not stick the pages not stick to each other
now this is one of the most emotional pages I've ever done and it's one of my
favorites as well and if you go to the video of this one you will see why there
is a lot of technique here and one of the main things here was I was in a
really really bad state in my life and when I created this I was just just like
basically really I was in a bad spot and this helped me heal this was one of the
most emotional ones and I know that it helped a lot of people so go back if you
want to see this because when I help a lot of people it says I set my fears on
fire and it's almost like the two elephants are are shooting fire out of
there like trunks so the techniques are great but the emotional part of this and
how are generally can heal you it's way different as well now these are cute
these are actually there's no videos on these there's a few of these where I was
on an airplane I think I was flying to creative ation at the time a couple of
years ago and the funny thing is that I only did some backgrounds and while I
was on the plane I started doodling in creating my own faces now I didn't do a
good job or anything like that in terms of like they like how the face looks
like but I just really had fine doodling and just letting my emotions and my
thoughts and everything flow my creativity flow so that's basically what
this one is this was another one I created on an airplane so I took a bunch
of markers and started playing with them and a little bit of a stamp if you use
the faber castell markers the big pens what are they called they're the ones
that are like be really thick you could stamp with them as well another one that
I created during a during an airplane different times of these this one as
well so they're kind of more like delusions looking I mean they're not 3d
because I had limited supplies but that's okay
and this is just me playing with whatever was left over on different
papers it's not really a finished art journal page but it's still nice to be
playing with it same with this one I guess I had a lot of numbers stencils to
do another favorite one of mine this one was using the Donna downy poppy stencils
and you can see this video on my youtube channel as well let's see this is
another video that you can see in my youtube channel so I was in a red face a
lot of redness um I find that I create depending on my mood so red sometimes
it's needed for me to feel better I love always working with the blues and greens
but the Reds really help me release those really negative emotions so that's
what I loved about this and another one this is a really cool one that you can
see online this was also done on a live show and I did stamping into modeling
paste so it's really really nice and this one is already using the waxes and
the rasp space so you can go look and it has that kind of a wire in the middle
and there might be another one of this one coming up as well maybe it's in the
other journal because I had to make - why don't we make before the showing one
I would make after the show so this is really nice here is another why don't
you see my journal I'll have to move because it's becoming really thick so
again a lot of texture in this one a lot a lot of texture and a lot of texture in
this one as well in a lighter tone of this more like silver ish and red I
can't remember what I did and this want to tell you the truth but it looks
really cool when I'm looking at it so I really love it and here's the second one
that I did this is the one I did live on the show an artist live and it's the
same one as the other one that I showed you before so I don't know I just love
that my style kind of changes according to my moods and that's basically why I
love art journaling and if you want to see another video in our channel think
there's one about why I love our journaling you can go look it up and
that's like a really good one that like I kind of messed it all up because this
is where I cut the journal and this is another video that I did and this is
it's called hidden wards and I actually stuck a lot of sticker words underneath
and put some I don't know you have to go look at the video I put some paste on it
and then scrape it off only instant page places and I actually revealed words
that were important to me it was almost like a treasure hunt but at the same
time it revealed things that messages for me so words revealed is why I called
this one and I really like the idea of doing that this one okay I love this one
I love creating this one I don't know how I came up with this it looks like
burnt stuff but really really cool I used alcohol inks for this one and I
think it's smooth so I must have put some kind of waxy gel or something on it
I'm not really sure but it's one of my favorites as well to tell you the truth
everything is one of my favorites looking back I haven't looked at this in
such a long time that it really cool to just look back and see what I did
oh and this is so I must have done this other one that you saw before on the
show because this is the same one the same techniques so you can go see this
video as well because you can see how I created the page now then I also have
this one and it's kind of like a wintry one it was really quick I was just
playing around with some modeling paste I think and some I had some die-cuts
from some snowflakes so I thought you know what this was really a quick one a
really really fast and I didn't even think about it too much this one it's a
very spring-like so I must have gone from winter and then I went to spring
and I created these using ultra new stamps and I stamped them and then cut
them out and use them for the background so first I did like a regular background
with my sprays and then I added the flowers I love the combination of the
turquoise with the orange and the yellow let's see what else okay so this is
where I'm playing with things and there I'm done so I do have a lot of it so the
nice thing about the dilutions are journal the space is great you do need
to protect the center so things don't get
through it but it's just really nice to have a small space to work with the
paper is great quality and I'll link those below so you can really see what I
did so I really hope you liked all my art journaling pages if you want to see
the videos for most of these just go to my youtube channel you'll see how I
created them and these are for these three books those are the ones you will
see all these videos but you have to go further back 2015 2016 and mm I think 17
