I learned a few things about me and colored pencils. It took HOURS to color this. I am not okay with visible pencil strokes and I am not patient enough to spend hours blending to achieve the solid results that make me happy.. So I tried, I learned, I gave the pencils to my kiddo […]

Just a few pages of relaxation.. Sometimes it’s practicing patterns or working out an idea that’s been bouncing around.. Sometimes it’s practice of a certain thing (lines and curves)… And it’s not always in black and white..    ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : […]

There is something soothing about flower sketches.. I think it’s because I adore flowers and sketching and tangling them keeps them close at hand no matter what my surroundings are..    ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : Get My Badge!

I saw the patterns involved in Diva Dance and I have used them elsewhere by in practicing an learning the patten I did one like this and then decided it was worthy of a page full lol.    ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : […]

Once again, we are visiting Andrea from SnappingMonsters.Blogspot.Com. She has a guest post over on SimonSaysStampBlog.Com to show us how to add ink to fabrics and/or fabric arts. I personally like the idea of using stamped fabric within the art journal. I can’t wait to try out this technique in my own journals. This tutorial […]

  Another dylusions and doodles page… but I am stuck. I don’t even know what to do from here or whether to just add some journaling lines and call it done.. But it keeps calling for me to ‘finish’ it… I keep waiting to hear what it wants on there! We’ll see!    ijourney1018 {@} […]

  A round of watercolor paint mixing lead me to this page. I was experimenting with colors and how the paint worked with this journal. I figured out quickly I needed more tutorials to read lol. But I have some general plans to update this page in the future with some floral doodles on old […]

I enjoyed the watercolor doodle tutorial I posted about previously so I did a second one! I did this one with me and my likes more in mind.. I used a simple color palette and just some jumbo waves! The white is my Bic correction pen and the black is Sharpie in various sizes. I […]

my art journal is more of a doodle journal now.. Because it’s a journal there will be more meaning behind the pages than is in my sketchbooks.. I work with a thought in mind whether it’s on the page or not… This one was me thinking about my family and their creative collaborations in the […]

The above doodle came about after I found a circles painting tutorial on pinterest : After reading the tutorial, I thought to myself… what a wonderful world… but let’s use watercolor! I love so many of these beautiful pages that use acrylics. I don’t know if it’s just me and my lack of abilities with […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll point it out again… I don’t always get to doodle! This fact is enough to make me want to whine lol. So I saw a doodle calendar on pinterest and I thought to myself… what a wonderful world! The calendar (day planner I picked up at Walmart I believe) […]

So the other day I decided to clean, I was reorganizing my art supplies……. I found a fine tip sharpie marker…. Oops I forgot to finish cleaning lol!    ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : Get My Badge! My Projects : My Artwork Digital […]

More swirls and doodles but my little munchkin chose the colors. She loves spring colors and I thought it seemed pretty fitting. So I got to use the awesome set of markers my sister gave me!    ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! : Get […]
