My new wonky junky journal is proving to be a fun challenge to work with. The pages are different sizes and textures. Different colors and finishes. I loving how it makes me think outside the box.
I’m really not able to preplan a page. I have to trust the process and let go.
I was planning to use some really wet mediums but I realized that the magazine page on the right would never hold up to that abuse. 
I ended up stacking layers of papers, beginning with a card front for stability. After adding the floral scrap and photo off-cuts I knew where I was headed.
I stamped a flower garden across the bottom of my pages then used watercolor paints to add a bit color. All that was left to do was add the right words.
Linking up with Art Journal Journey for Jo’s theme of Texture.
Those stamped flowers over the paper layering look great and really pull the page together. It must be a nice release after the stress of school right now. Hope that is going ok. Hugs-Erika
I like the layering with the flowers over it :) That quote is a sentiment we’re all needing to be reminded of in these days.
This is really fun, Halle. I like how this came together. I like how you colored the flowers. You have so much texture there, you should link this to Art Journal Journey.
Wonderful layers to create the texture on the page, it looks fabulous. those flowers look lovely as well. Thank you for linking up with Jo’s theme at Art Journal Journey.
Stay safe.

Such beautiful pages! I love the idea of a wonky junky journal and it must have been such fun creating this page …lol ?. The texture from the magazine pages and papers are gorgeous, I thought it was fabric until you said. I’m loving how you layered everything together and added the flowers – gorgeous! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Art Journal Journey! Happy Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x
