I used one of my pre- painted journal pages that I really didn't like to glue the words down on. I knew most of the page would be covered with words, sayings, and doodling so it seemed like a good way to recycle bad art. I often tear out words and images and throw them in separate boxes to use for journaling and for my glue books. It is something to do when I am watching a movie or a TV show. It is much easier than having a bunch of magazines hanging around. The other benefit is that when I am in the mood to glue I have materials all cut out and ready to go. Oops I am getting off track.
After I laid out the words and thoughts, I used gel medium to glue them down. I used sharpie paint pens to doodle on the page. This was sort of an eye opener when I was finished, to read it all put together. It was nice to reaffirm some of the things that have been swirling around since before the new year.

I do the same thing with magazines too. If you have an extra photo album, the words slip nicely under the platic sleeves and its easy to view them later on. I just pull that out when I want to use them, and don't have to sift through all the pieces of paper in a storage box. Love your art, speaks volumes doesn't it! :)
The page is great! I am taking a Visual Journaling Workshop and this is very inspiring.
Always good to have the affirmations.
Great, great idea!!!!!!!!! I'm going to do this! I usually work with fabric so my idea is to do a paper collage then scan and print on fabric. Check my blog - oh you better give me a week. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a great page!
This is a fabulous idea. As soon as I am done doing grades and writing comments for my students I'm doing it!!
And I'm going to look at more of your blog!
