Journal 12 is all about trends. Whether you consider yourself "trendy" or not, I bet there are a few trends that you find yourself gravitating to. If not, you can create a page of trends that you think are lame too, it's up to you :)
Well...These are the styles that make me..ME!!

When you are your own boss and there is no one to tell you what you should do, you can feel kind of lost and unfocused. You set yourself extreme goals each day and get all cross with yourself that you didnt do as much as you could. Well when I could work normally before the pandemic, this was my saviour. I started Bullet Journalling, each day my list of jobs were committed to and if I didnt get around to doing a task, it just 'migrated' to the next day. What that actually means is you write it down on your next day's 'to do list' after doing that so many days for those tasks you never get around to (eg website updates/blogs etc) you actually get fed up with keep writing it and actually do it.
You can also add fun things in you need to do too.
This practice I have been doing for about 4 years and absolutely loved it, I even ran a few workshops in my home town about doing it.
But I had felt that this year with no real work tasks to write in, that I felt lost and thought starting it up during lockdown would make me sad, seeing as there is no real exciting work that I can do right now.
So I took January off. and started my journal in February and I have LOVED it. It's great to have time to decorate various pages and to have time away from screens whilst you are doing it.
My inspiration is Nikki McWilliams, google her she has load of great tutorials and also sells journals and pens and designs washi and alsorts!

I spent a really great time flying through the house looking for all these things: D
Naprawdę świetnie się bawiłam latając po domu szukając tych wszystkich rzeczy :D
Custom journal cover. The theme was 'beast'. It was so much fun to create! I used an old fossil watch for the main eye and glass gems for the other three. The watch face glows when the light hits it at a certain angle...a really cool effect
And everything it makes me dream of!
I searched in vain for the perfect tape but no luck... Plus I am trying to do this whole journal exercise without spending money so...... I used pink ribbon and some stationery I found in my stash!
Autumn is my favourite month..But here are some reasons why summer is cool too!!
Journal made with scraps and mixed media papers inc. ephemera. It is part of a challenge I made myself to create a journal a day during June - if you want to see all the finished journals I have made a video here: jennibelliestudio.blogspot.com/p/my-videos.html
and it is a current journal in my shop that is on profile page - www.flickr.com/people/39911180@N05/
I'm entering this in a call for visual journals by the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library to be put in a time capsule for 50 years (!). I've decided the theme will be birds, with the Emily Dickinson quote in mind, "I hope you love birds too. It's economical. It saves going to heaven."
I have been making some journals and little books lately ,here is a pic of some in various stages of progress.
"Nature Journal Page with Branch Study", 5"x8", Watercolor on Moleskin Watercolor Sketchbook
I tried to make some nature journal style of studies of the woods in the Eagel Creek State Park -- without pencil drawings, again, just playful and fun, getting more acquainted with my newly-acquired Isabey red-sable brushes (#6 and #8 here). I used a new color, oxide of Chromium, to mix with various siennas and umbers to mimic the mossy branch, and loved the resulted color mixtures very much. This color is slightly heavy and very opaque, yet great in discribing the rough texture of tree barks. Trying out something new is fun! What's more, drawing branches really trains the eye-hand coordiation and observation of negative shapes (in between branches). It is also a great way to get familiar with all the potentials of your brush fast. I'd like to do it more often...
Mindful that it's time to put the MMXXII journal to rest. Repurposed clock embroidery, paintbrush and tassels with a lot of journal chunk in between. A little nod to Flavor Flav.
I started writing in 2000 when i was 15. Actually i started much earlier but thats the earliest i have saved. I dont know what happened to the ones before 2000. These are not in order, Didnt have the time for that but the 3rd one from the top is the oldest one from 2000-2001. I LOVE to write and fill my journals up with memories, doodles, sketches, and moments that i never want to forget. Im going to write until my hands just cant write anymore and im 6 feet under.
