Journaling Toolkit

I'll share some of my favorite visual journaling techniques to help you tap into words, images and your subconscious so you can activate a project near and dear to your heart. All you need is a Basic Tool Kit plus an open mind for the unfolding of your pages. Anything goes! Start where you are and with you have. :-)

Journal Supplies

  • Basic Tool Kit: (available at Michael's or Amazon)
  • Mixed Media Journal: I prefer spiral-bound Canson mixed media journals. They will lay flat and accomodate the mixed media you'll be adding as well as the thick pages you'll end up with. Get one HERE.
  • 3-5 Magazines (my favorites are Where Women Create, Breathe and National Geographic; mix it up; borrow from friends, check out the thrift store)
  • Scissors
  • Ruler (to lay next to an image or words and easily cut without ripping into image/word)
  • Glue stick or tape
  • Colored pencils or markers or crayons
  • Washi tape — an easy way to add color to your pages.
Optional & FUN Supplies: (available at Michael's or Amazon)
  • Some acrylic craft paints (red, blue, yellow or whatever strikes your fancy)
  • A brush or two
  • Black sharpie marker
  • White gel pen
  • Container for waterPaper towels
  • A plastic table cloth to protect your work surface.
  • Waxed paper for separating pages that are still wet or covered with chalk.
  • Stencil & a small piece of sanding paperGesso for backgrounds and to stiffen up pages.
  • Texturing tool.
  • Ephemera — bits and pieces of interesting stuff for layering your pages, ie ticket stubs, junk mail, ribbon, buttons, fibers, fabrics, charms, beads.
