Tea JournalA little canvas tea journal that I made earlier. I didn't share it sooner because I don't really like how it came out. But since then, I realize how much I've
learned from it.
I really enjoyed the process of making this journal all about tea time. Paint, ink writing, machine stitching, stamping, and some paper collage, buttons, hand stitches, paint pens, on heavy canvas.
I picked a pale color palette, so if I were to do this project over, I would choose richer colors and more variety. It's too pale, lacking depth. I also happened to use cheaper, thinner paints. Now, I prefer to mix these with heavier body paints with more pigment. About 4 hours total to create this little book.

Was scrolling through your blog and saw your adorable journal! I love it!!! (And I even love the colors too) :)
Thanks Shelly! That was one of my first experiments. Now visual journaling has become a regular part of my life. I'm prepping a travel journal currently for a big trip and plan to share before and after.
Hey, check out your beautiful links. Look forward to viewing your journal work. Thanks for saying hello!
