I placed some black cards on the backside of those pockets. These are from Dearest Someday and the Mercarty Pop-up shop.
For the right side, I wanted to include some Origrami prints of Hong Kong that I had made for another project, but that I didn’t end up using.
Just pull on the golden label to see the accordion type mini album! (I’m sorry for some reason this photo is out of focus)
What is cool (to me) is that these maps make up the waterfront of the city and includes where we lived for the past four years. Good stuff.
In addition to this album, I also worked in my big Moleskine art journal. This is where I channel my emotions concerning anything that is happening around me. The first spread is about a friendship breakup.
One of my recent favorites. Simple and to the point.
I love that there is a place for me to express this, to tone down my anxiety and to make something visually pleasing all at the same time. Thank you for looking. Tomorrow I will share some pages from my Summer of Love journal.
Get Messy is an art journal challenge where a gang of crafty vixens are sharing art journal pages we have created to practise our skills and push past our creative limits with hopes to inspire. We share our pages without restraint every week, and once a month we create around a prompt. Go check out these crazy talented ladies who are creating pages who each have a unique perspective and style. We will be sharing our work around social media so follow the hashtag #getmessyartjournal.
beautiful pages! I love the idea of the first page.
You have such depth to your art journals, it's really moving.
Thank you Caylee. It sometimes feels like survival.
me too, just strong graphics and good words…
Love. LOVE. Love these pages. I love that you share your raw emotions and work them in so beautifully. And I love that you are using pocket pages in there too. And the fold out maps….Im drooling…Seriously, SO happy your a part of our awesome team!
Lauren, thank you for your kind words! I love the community that Caylee and you have assembled. It is thanks to you that a new, inspiring, creative space can be found on the net.
