hi everyone its Keren here with another emotional art journaling page with
intuitive healing I created another journaling page a
few months back and I got a really big response about how much it helped so many
people because I shared how to express and release your emotions and to an art
journaling page and today I'm doing the same thing although a little bit
differently and because I was feeling different emotions than what I felt last
time I had to release them in a different way and this time I actually
went into an intuitive healing and intuitive art process where I let things
run on their own without doing anything and just letting things flow just
straight from my heart and for my soul I'm linking the other emotional art
journaling page here as well and all the links to all the products I used today
this page is a little bit different than usual and personally it's not one of my
favorites but you will see why this became such a healing process for me and
how I did this after to be able to basically express everything that I was
feeling I apologize that the explanations to my steps are being
pushed back a little bit down the video but I do explain everything in the
upcoming steps stay with me to the end so you can see how this video differs
from others and what I did with this art journaling page that I've never done
before I started working in my prima
mixed-media book I used some graphite texture paste from Finnabair and using
a palette knife I created texture with the crafters workshop stitched art
stencil I did this in both corners of my page and then heat set it
once it was dry I took a few color boom sprays I started with the cotton candy
but it was too light so I ended up going with the wild raspberry color bloom -
and the black tulip and I just added them and then let them drip down the
page I did use the cotton candy one to just let some of it drip down and mix so
it becomes more watery
I also use a spray bottle to just help the water run down between the texture I
did have to add layers a little bit at a time by drying in between because I
really wanted the color to soak into the background
once I dried this first layer I went in with the second layer of the same colors
and again did the same thing instead of using the spouts you can always use a
paint brush to add ink because it soaks up more of the ink. so I just added it with
my paint brush on the edges of my journal and then just added some water
to let it drip down the page up until now I had created and started a journal
the same way I do all my journals with some texture and some color I thought I
was going to release my emotions the same way I had done with the other
emotional journal by just expressing what I felt through art however this is
not what happened this is the point where I really didn't know where to go
with my journal page I had started it to try to release some of my emotional
feelings frustrations and everything that was going on in the past few weeks
and I just really didn't know where to take it from here so I thought well I'll
add some stamping and I took a couple of texture stamps from Prima Finnabair
and started adding it to the background with my archival ink
I basically stamped the image in different places just to add texture
first I used a script samp and then I took one that mimics the texture I had
already in the background and I basically added it everywhere and filled
in the page all the way. this was the point that I really felt that something
was guiding me that it was just intuitively I was creating something and
that I didn't even know that I was creating myself I felt like something
just kind of took over me and I just let that feeling just basically let me
create what I wanted to create. I felt very trapped with my
emotions of everything that was going on and I realized later that actually the
texture that I have put in the background and the stamped texture
looked kind of like a jail or some kind of gate that was preventing me from
releasing them, I took my marker and this is just a Posca pen black marker and I
started writing "No" everywhere. I do not want to be trapped I did not
want to feel this way and it just basically kept on going no no no no no
and this has never happened to me before and I debated whether or not to share
this with with you guys because it was just something that it's very personal
but I just knew that I had to do this and release those emotions of
everything all the frustrations that I was feeling I knew that by doing this it
would release many of the things that I was just trying to get out of my system
then after I had written No everywhere I realized that everything was so dark
and black and I thought oh I need to add white and I started basically adding
some white circles using the lid of a container and some white gesso
this didn't only cover up the No's but also created some light and I felt that
I was coming out from the darkness into the light this way with these white
circles and this is a really weird art journal that I've created I really never
created anything like this and I don't even know if I'll ever create one like
this again but I just felt like I had to go with it and I took some of the color
bloom spray it's called spring dandelion which is a yellow color and I started
adding it in the middle all these white circles almost like it made it look
like an egg, like an egg yolk and that was basically it looked like a bunch of
fried eggs on my background but I really felt like you know an egg a new
beginning I don't know it was just I I mean, I'm analyzing it now but I really
don't know where it was taking me at the moment and I just basically added the
yellow and I felt like this kind of eased everything and it created like
more of a lightness to the heaviness in the darkness that was in the background
and then I took a paint brush and basically while the gesso was still wet
I just created lines almost look like flowers or just I don't know it was just
creating lines back and forth again I was following an intuitive healing
process that I didn't even know was happening and that was great then using
the same paint brush and some leftover Gesso I covered in that all the white
gesso on top of the areas where there was still black writing and basically
erased all of it from the surface
once the white circles were dry I started doodling around them I basically
didn't know what I was doing it was just fun to doodle and create these funky
lines around them I think the point of intuitive art which
leads to intuitive healing it's just basically doing what comes from your
heart from your soul and just going with it without actually thinking of what
you're doing just doing what comes to you and that's why although this page
looked really weird to me I didn't know what I was doing but I felt it
was healing something inside of me. I circled the yellow part of the egg yolk
or something like that just to add a little bit more lines I really was just
going with the flow and trying to see what I wanted to do and that's basically
what I did
once I was done with it I didn't really know what to do with this page I really
didn't feel like it should stay in my journal I really didn't want it to be
part of it. it was a very frustration filled page and I didn't really want that
energy to be in my journal I just wanted to kind of release it and then do
something with it so I had the idea to maybe burn it but the
first thing I did is took a black marker and really basically wrote the
word done as if I was done with everything, everything that I was feeling
that I did not want those feelings to be there anymore so it was just done with
it and that's it and I ripped it out and then took it outside to burn. I ripped it
up into pieces and actually put it inside a glass container it's a Pyrex
container and used a burning tool to just basically burn the edges until it would
catch on but I don't know the paper must have been really good quality because I
tried a few times on different edges and I was just having a hard time
burning it. I guess all the mediums that I had put on were making it difficult
for me to burn it, but as you can see the smoke is coming out and I have
my husband is actually holding the camera so you can really see how it's
basically burning and as it was burning it really felt good. it it felt like
everything was releasing, everything was gone from all the frustrations and
the anger and the sadness that I had felt what we did is we took actually a
paper towel and we added it in between the papers so it would burn really well
once the paper towel caught on fire it caught the rest of the papers on fire
and it basically burned them to ashes obviously if you're going to burn
something please do it outside in a ventilated area or outside and I kept a
bowl of water beside it so in case anything caught on fire I would just
throw it right away but everything went well and the glass helped to
contain everything in a similar way as people burn journals this was my way of
burning everything all the frustrations from my art journal I know people burn
written journals but this is basically the same thing
that I had done here. thank you so much for watching if this video helped you in
