They say you can’t judge a book by its cover but I have always been fascinated by beautiful and unique journal covers. Although art journaling is a relatively new hobby, I have been journaling the “traditional” way for many years. So I have quite a collection of journals, some filled with words and art and some still blank, waiting for imagination to strike.
Every time I go to a book store, I can’t help but browse through the stationery section looking for journals and art supplies. I love colorful covers and usually pick a journal if the cover inspires me. Then I make sure it’s suited for whichever purpose I intend it to use.
The journal featured in this post is blank so I will probably create a combination of art, words, and collages in it. I liked the cover because it says “Inspired” on it and I thought it was imaginative and encouraging to create in it.
I often use affirmations in my art journaling and what is more affirming than being inspired? It’s a positive thought that helps me create. All you have to do is look around and there is so much to be inspired by. Today, for example, it was a sunny day and leaves are starting to fall, basking in golden light. It sounds like a new page to be created in my art journal.
What inspires you to create? Feel free to comment and start a conversation. Until next time, have a wonderful weekend.
