A week or so ago I discovered that the number of journals I have is rather surprising to some people. However I also discovered that there are others in the Made eCourse who have even more on the go than I do, so I'm not worried! :-)
How many? Well, take a look. Video first and then a few stills and an explanation.
First the journal I picked up from Asda, with a cover of recycled leather and really nice paper inside. They were in the reduced section and I haven't seen them again since.
I started this on the same day we began a new season as a church and am mainly following a set of journaling prompts from an Australian company that makes journals.
So, some days it is straight journaling, some days it is stream of consciousness writing, some days it is finding pictures and gluing them in and some days it is drawings, and sometimes it is a mixture of some of all of them.
Next there is my writing exercises journal. You can see the sections it has below. In here I work on creative writing and most of Jochebed's story was written in here.
The word bank is just a list of words for prompting writing when you can't think of what to write. I'll be honest, I don't use it very often, but it's there when I need it and I keep adding to it, as you can tell from all the different pens I have used.
Next there is my regular written journal with the pockets that I have adapted to be able to move them between journals. This is where I work through all the stuff of life when I just need to write it out to process it and think clearly. Consequently I am only showing you one small entry, because most of it is intensely personal.
Next is the smallest of my journals, a little hand bound, coptic stitch journal made from squared paper that I use for lettering practise. Some days the practise goes really smoothly and other days, not so well.
Here is the spiral bound art journal a friend made for me that is filled with watercolour paper. I use it for all sorts of things, from drawings, to testing things out, to full blown pages, to using up leftovers from other projects. Some pages are finished and some are not.
Then there is my big art journal. I really like working at this larger size but hate the binding on this journal. Need to find a stitch bound larger journal soon as I have nearly come to the end of this one. Or maybe I will make myself one!
You will have seen pages from this in my recent posts, such as below. Click on the picture to go to the post about that page.
Finally there is the journal I made recently for Visual Bible Notes. You can find that here.
That's it for journals I am currently working in. Journaling is not the only creative thing I do. You can check out some of the other stuff by following the links below.
You can check out the sites I link up to over in my sidebar. Before you go, why not check out my recipes index page, or my craft projects index page, I am sure you will find something there to interest you.
