ATC Junk Journal - Week 3

During the second lockdown in England,

I am taking a few moments

out of each day

to create in a small junk journal.

The closed journal is the size of an ATC

(Artist Trading Card)

2½ by 3½ inches

with 28 pages.

I have used paper scraps

from an old magazine

(Daphne's Diary from 2013),

an image of a lady from Kasia Avery

(which I had printed out for my weekly journal,

but it was too small)

& painted typing manual pages.

I have also used a black Stabilo All pencil

& Remnant Rubs by Tim Holtz.

Your Actions Matter

Week 47 in my

Mellow Kraft
Journal.

The journal prompt

this week from France Papillon

on this month's theme of

colour

was

just no.

I have used patterned paper

from Glenda Waterworth &
Brenda Walton's Brianna

patterned paper
from K & Company.

There are photo corners by Paperchase,

a lady image from Kasia Avery,

butterfly & floral images

from the Graphics Fairy

& printed text.

The journal prompt was to look at

which colour we avoid using in our journals

& think about why we avoid it.

My colour was yellow.

Going Green

Week 45 in my

Journal.

A new month means a new theme

from France Papillon,

which for November is

colour.

The first art journal prompt was

I am ...

I have used patterned paper

from Glenda Waterworth &
Brenda Walton's Brianna

patterned paper
from K & Company.

There are photo corners by Paperchase,

word definitions torn from an old dictionary,

dymo black tape,

words cut from an old novel

& printed text.

The calendar is from the Graphics Fairy

& the bird image from Shawn Petite.

A new month also means

a new design focus

sabi

which I will explore more next week.

Finally a reference to the new lockdown

taking place in England from November 5th.

All non-essential shops,

bars, cafes & restaurants

have closed their doors

(apart from click & collect sales & takeaways)

& we are to work from home if we can.

It is due to last for 28 days.

Trust

We began a second lockdown

on 5th November here in England,

which will run for 28 days,

so I decided to create a small junk journal

to work in each day.

It is the size of an ATC 

(Artist Trading Card)

which is 2½ by 3½ inches,

with 28 pages.

The cover is kraft card,

the pages are from an old typing manual,

some already covered in acrylic paint.

The number 5 on the journal cover

is from a delivery label

from our new garden shed

which was delivered back in September.

Day 1

There are remnant rubs

by Tim Holtz

smudged colour from soft pastels

& a word definition from an old dictionary.

I will be using scraps of paper,

already printed butterflies &

other bits & pieces.

I will publish a blog post

on this project

just once a week.
