my summer of love art journal

July 26, 2013
my summer of love art journal

Hey! It took me awhile to post pictures of my Summer of Love art journal for various reasons. One, I didn’t get a book until about four or five days into the class. Two, when I did get my book, I had a day to mess around with it before my friend Jenna came to stay with me for a week. Three, when Jenna left, my family and I took a vacation to Puerto Rico. And even though the class is over, I’m still filling up my journal as I’m way behind on all the prompts and of course I’m adding a few of my own page ideas. Plus, I probably won’t stop filling it up until September, which is more than a month or so away.

Anyway, I love making this art journal. I never would have thought to journal in a book you make yourself. For awhile, I was journaling in an old planner I still had laying around. But this is way better because I can actually use the pages from the book I destroyed and it’s way more decorative than old scribbled up planner pages, which I ended up covering or painting over with gesso anyway. Essentially, I’m making a book from a book–well, more like building upon a book and making it better.

But I’m really having fun with this. I haven’t been art journaling for very long–a few months at most–and I’m already building up my scrap paper collection. I think the more I journal, the more I’m aware of saving receipts and scrap memo paper, labels, etc. I’ve even been saving magazines that I would have normally tossed after a few months. I’m even incorporating some of the photos I’ve been taking throughout the summer. Not all are prompts from Kara’s class, but most were taken using certain techniques I learned from doing the prompts (like the transfers in one of the journaling pages below and most of the photography). This class was probably one of my best investments this summer and I encourage anyone who’s interested in art journaling or photography to take this class. Even though it’s over, the prompts are still up on the private blog and you get a pdf of the whole class, to do the prompts at your own pace. It’s fantastic for art journaling beginners (like myself) and well as getting to know your camera better. So it’s definitely worth it! Check it out:

Sharing another spread from my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel today. This one was to get a lot of different ephemera pieces into this book. Honestly, I've been keeping this project super simple and low-key. Not stressing too much about how it looks or whether or not I'm behind. Just enjoying the process of snipping and sticking. And of course lots of journaling!

Happy Monday loves. I do hope you're all well. xx

I shared a quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I haven't been very good at sharing these pages (or any journal pages) here lately. TBH, I've kind of been focusing on other things recently and doing more straight writing journaling than creative journaling. It's weird. I'm in a weird space. But I also feel like I'm supposed to be in this space, you know?

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx
