I'm honored to be part of Dawn's blog hop for her new book, Art Doodle Love: A Journal of Self-Discovery. Be sure to visit Dawn's blog and enter to win her giveaway--a free book, a handmade journal, and more!
Art Doodle Love is a journal that prompts and nudges you to create, to think, to express. The pages give you a headstart--they have color and quotes and words from which you can springboard your creativity.
I flipped the book open and it landed on a page that said, "Today I learned...". Immediately I started thinking about a few things that happened today, and I grabbed some paint and a pen and started adding my mark to the page.
Love the result. It came out so easily! Then I flipped to another page, which invited me to start scribbling. I scribbled on a face...
I flipped the page again and the journal invited me to use the drips on the page as a starting point. I did this:
I really enjoyed working in Dawn's book. Whether you're an experienced art journaler or new to art journaling, this book is serious fun!
