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!!

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."
This is a set of 5 over-sized postcards of some of my visual journal pages. Each glossy postcard represents a journal spread, and is 8.5" x 5.5". The printing quality is so good, you can read my writing and feel what I was feeling when I created the journal page. Keep it for yourself for art inspiration, or mail it. The back is blank, except for my information, so you can write a note and address it.
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
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've always thought it would be nice to keep a journal. It would be a nice way to reflect on life by having memories in writing.
"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...
