Mixed Media Journalling

Mixed Media Art Journals give you permission to create and reflect by combining the timeless art of writing down your thoughts with the fun and messiness of the mixed media art genre.

From my research and travels of the internet there seems to be three different approaches:
1. Prepare a layout, then write
2. Write then decorate
3. Write then incorporate into the layout

For more details, see Mixed Media Journals at Mixed Media Arts website.

Adding Texture to Resin

Kristen Robinson has made a video, showing us this advanced mixed media art technique, on how to add texture to resin:

Adding texture to ICE Resin® is one of my favorite ways to alter the glass like surface. A wee bee of divots strategically placed as well as a dollop of paint and viola a new look is created.

The video shows each step needed to complete this technique!

Happy creating,
