Visual Journaling by the Seat of Your Pants!

Found a cool article while surfing around today: Visual Journaling by the Seat of Your Pants!

I always appreciate visual journaling resources that really spell out how it's done.  It seems so freeform that I have trouble wrapping my brain around it.  Each example I see helps fine-tune the idea in my head.

Another resource I turn to for art/visual journaling: Be Alive, Believe, Be You.  Especially this post.  Because that's where she answers a question I emailed her: I wondered if she wrote first, then embellished with watercolors/crayons/markers/etc or if she painted first, then wrote on top of that "canvas".  I just couldn't figure it out!  I was pleased she answered in her blog - with examples!

Another super resource is the art journaler extraordinaire - Shimelle.

So - any art journalers/journalists out there?  How do you do what you do?

Angie,
Thanks for linking to me!

Someone emailed me recetly about creativity portal. I think it is a great resource for creative bloggers (but a little heavy on the ads).

Have you seen my other blog; Create a Connection? http://www.bealivebelievebeyou.com/create/
Check out the themes and host schedule. Maybe you would like to be a guest host sometime?

XO,
Melba

Being a reader of your blog, Melba, I have of course heard of your Create-a-Connection. Hmmm, be a host? I'd feel so initimidated! How sad is that?? I'll have to poke around some more to see what I could come up with! (And find some time to practice before submitting something!)
