For a Saturday creativity boost, some posts you may have missed:
Poured acrylics make great additions to journal pages. They are worth the wait–it takes a while for them to dry.
Resists like Friskit cover spaces on paper that you want to keep white. You can also used them in layers, to show the layers beneath the top one.
Zippers are underused in art journaling. Here’s a zipper drawing and a zipper made of rhinestones. Here are a group of mixed-media postcards. One of them has a zipper, too.
Send postcards? Belong to Postcrossing? Make this clever fabric box to keep your postcards in.
Have a creative Saturday!

I just copied this thread onto a Word document to take with me the day we meet. 😀
Loved the box! Cool tips. Thanks. 🙂
I thought of you this week when I realized I was talking to my Inner Critic again but this time I caught her trick on time. Because she is SO sensible when she points another slightly different/smaller thingto do instead of the BIG plan. But then she gets more and more urgent as she lists a whole list of each time smaller and farther away from the goal tasks I have to complete BEFORE I can do something else. *exasperated sigh*
That description was like reading my life. That breadcrumb trail away from the goal to do “important” things STILL fools me.
Because the tasks look logical and as you say “important”. But it is not like breaking up the big thing into smaller steps that way, it is adding a whole new other path that leads away in a circonvoluted road (so we spend a lot of time doing other things, it´s not even the panoramic view for the original goal).
We have a lot in common, so our Inner Critics too! Lol!
Seriously, our Inner Critics are related! We should get together to a play date–the Inner Critics can complain about us and we can do some amazing art!
Lol at the image of our Inner Critics, heads together, grumbling, whispering and looking at us sideways. 😀 Love the idea of a playdate with you! 🙂
Isn’t that a cool image? Inner Critics sneaking us looks while we are laughing and making art. We should put the idea out there and see what happens. I’ve never been in South America–that and the Antarctic are the only continents I haven’t been on!
