what a great reminder that I can even use my lined pages for doodling! I must have a dozen journals….one in my bag, one by my bedside, and one for project ideas, on my desk. Though I am an artist, I mostly write in my journals. But I have a “clippings” journal, where I keep my collage work in. This inspires me to play with it more.

I find that if l or my clients keep a diary, it always seems to end up being negative. When l journal it is both! so l started my counselling clients on creative journalling with amazing results. I find even people whosay..l can’t draw or l am too frightened to draw..ended up finding in their “private” creative journal amazing things can happen. Also using your non dominate hand is also very revealing.x lynda

Thanks for making me think of a creative journal as I intend it to be a mix of art and writing. Today we had a game on Facebook of asking friends to make one comment about us and I was honoured by the responses to included them in the first page of my Creative Diary. This, by the way, is a Gratitude Diary which I found in a small shop in Dorrigo, which is up on the plateau of the Great Dividing Range behind Bowraville where I live on the mid-north New South Wales coast in Australia. Here’s the link to thge pic of my first page:

Thanks for the reminder of how a journal can be used for more than just negative ranting. A couple of days ago I resolved to start recording things I’m proud of and compliments I’ve received in my journal to counter my unfortunate tendency to recall and relive decade old slights and missteps and forget compliments and achievements. I always find something insightful on your blog :)

Hi Andrea, I can’t wait to see where the new year takes us with regards to our art journals. I have been dabbling in it for the last while. I am anxious to see your ideas.

Thanks again,
Diane

I started journaling in earnest when I started “The Artist’s Way” the first time. The main component of the program is morning pages, where you freeform journal for at least 3 pages. Every morning. The length is important, because after a bit, you run out of the rants, or the flowery stuff, and you realize so many things about yourself. I can’t wait to see your upcoming posts!
