did you write your 2011 goals from artJOURNALING daily prompt no. 1? what were some of your goals? do you have a photo or blog post of brainstorming, writing or journaling that you'd like to share?
the image above shows the final journal page i created when I brainstormed my goals & mantras. a little about my process..I started with a blank white sheet of Strathmore smooth vellum bristol. it's great for wet media. drew one of my girlie GLAMS and filled the page writing my 2011 goals, mantras and words. simple supplies...a dip pen, india ink, paint & colored pencils. if you don't have a dip pen..your FAVE journaling pen will work just as well. I LOVE the dip pen because the line widths vary as you add pressure when writing.
from time to time I'll share videos during the blog series of my mixed media journaling techniques. my videos are composed of a varitey of snippets of technqiues, photos and inspiration. they do not necissarily show a page start to finish, but provide enough to give you an idea of the creative direction of how I build layers on the page. REMEMBER...my goal is to inspire you to explore your own creative style to create art uniquely your own! enjoy the creative inspiration & don't forget to share your journal pages. check out the gallery of images from the flickr group. post links to your blog posts if you create art based on the prompts. I will feature some of my FAVES throughout the year!! xo~treiC
Thank you thank you thank you. such a treat...love it!

Thank you for sharing the video. I used to use a fountain pen, but will have to see about a dip pen with india ink. Blessings.

hi traci! I asked about what kind of pen you used in another post...now that I know you use a dip pen, what kind would you recommend and what kind/size of nibs?
Posted by: clara | January 11, 2011 at 02:07 PM
@Clara..I use a variety of nibs and pens. In this video I use a Brause Calligraphy Fingerfeder (finger nib). you can find more info here: http://www.brause-kalligraphie.com/plumes/plumes_cursives.php?lang=en
I found mine at a paper/stamp store in Portland, OR years ago. have fun!!
