No Pens Were Harmed in the Making of This Art Journal Page!

Video showing how I used a word stencil in an art journal page by carolyn dube

No pens were harmed in the making of this art journal page!  Although it was risky to use a regular pen on paint that hadn’t dried completely, my pen made it through the ordeal as I played in my art journal with some new text stencils!

In the video below,  as I finish this art journal page, I share with you  how I combined  parts of words to create the text I needed.

Watch Using word stencils in a colorful art journal on YouTube.

Making this page was lots of playful fun but it was also a strong message from the muse reminding me to listen to the wisdom that often comes in soft whisper.   What messages have you been getting from your muse lately?
