Art {Journaling} Tiny Pages

Note: For today's {Faith Journaling} Challenge, please click here or scroll down one post. :)

Wow, can you believe I am posting two Art {Journaling} pages? I can't! I know it felt amazing to finally pull my paints, gesso, and other goodies out. I have been so overwhelmed but I got this new tiny journal by Moleskine, and I wanted to play with it. It's called the Moleskine Sketchbook Pocket. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it as it only measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" but after watching some of Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday posts, I decided this would be the perfect journal to try out the techniques she shares in her videos. I also thought it would be good for a tiny scripture memory book. I am not quite sure where this tiny book will take me but I am giving it a try. Let's look at what I did with my first page.

In one of Donna's videos, she shared how she put some twine down on a page, gesso'd over it, and just had fun painting her page. I decided that twine on a page would be new for me so why not try it in this tiny journal. Here is how it looked when I started:

And here is the final version:

Paints: Liquitex gesso, Jenni Bowlin spice tin and soap powder, Claudine Hellmuth dash of red
Stamp Ink: Archival Ink cobalt
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 5, Just Rite 100 Year Dater
Embellishments: baker's twine from amazon.com, misc. washi tape, Tim Holtz tiny attacher, Ranger tag
Journal: Moleskine Sketch Pocket

It's a bit hard to photograph this journal as it doesn't stay open very well. I am sure I will break the binding at some point. LOL!

Then after playing with the first small page, I decided to do a second page. This is of Isaiah 55:11. A favorite scripture of mine that I can never seem to remember the address. Ugh! So, maybe this will help me by putting down in paint. LOL!

Paints: Liquitex gesso, Claudine Hellmuth landscape green, Dr. Ph. Martin's India Ink yellow, Making Memories eggplant
Stamp Ink: Archival Ink jet black
Stamps: Unity Lovely Lilacs, Unity Numbers, Just Rite 100 Year Dater
Embellishments: misc. washi tape, Ranger tag
Journal: Moleskine Sketch Pocket

Donna Downey tends to use a lot of tags on her pages. I like that thus you see both of the above pages have tags on them. Very fun! I also got a new toy this week for $29, and I can see myself using this on art journaling pages, scrapbook pages, cards, everything. Oh the memories this "manual beauty," the Smith-Corona Sterling typewriter, has brought back to me. Gotta love that bell and carriage return! :)

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed Thursday!
