🌸✨🎨 Handmade Mixed Media Art Journal | Process & Inspiration

Welcome to my channel! In today’s video, I’ll take you through the step-by-step process of creating a vibrant, textured art journal using a range of mixed media techniques.

Here’s how I made it:

Masterboard Creation:
I began by crafting a masterboard from old book pages and a variety of paper scraps, laying the foundation for a unique, layered background. The base page is 21” x 14.5” 56cm x 38cm.

Tissue Paper & Medium:
Next, I added tissue paper using matte medium gel, building up texture and depth across the surface.

Gesso & Stencilling:
I applied a coat of white gesso, then used super heavy gesso with stencils to create raised, tactile patterns and designs.

Adding Colour:
Once dry, I layered on various shades of pink acrylic paint and vibrant inks, blending and splattering to achieve a rich, expressive finish.

Page Assembly:
The masterboard was then torn into four pieces, each becoming a page in the journal.

Binding:
For a rustic touch, I used tea-stained fabric as tab binding to hold the pages together, giving the journal a handmade, vintage feel.

What to Expect:
Bold pinks, reds, and whites with hints of purple and grey
Rich textures from collage, gesso, and stencilling
Rough, organic edges and distressed details
A one-of-a-kind, tactile art journal perfect for inspiration or display
