ART JOURNAL FROM TRASH: PINK DUCT TAPE 1

ART JOURNAL FROM TRASH: PINK DUCT TAPE 1
Hey, everybody! Many of us love trash journals. Okay, okay, most of us love trash journals!! I've been wanting to make a new trash journal, so I thought I'd combine TRASH and ART and make a trashy art journal.
NOTE: This video is not heavily edited! I typically spend quite a bit of time editing, but I thought you might want to see the whole process. Please let me know what you think of this video!
Let's continue to work in this journal until it is full and awesome! It will have trash and mixed media!
This journal is going to be amazing!!
Thank you so much for watching!! Thank you for your support! I appreciate all of you! 🦋🍄🦋

MY CREATIVE SELF:
My name is Lynn. Creativity started with altering my clothing as a young girl. I love birds, gardens and all things botanical. My current artistic focus includes paper and fabric, especially making handmade journals.

I am so happy you decided to tape the whole process of making a trash journal!! So much fun .. thank you, love it and I love your style

[@abitofbirdsong]

Me too! It sure saves time to not edit so heavily as well. 😂 Thank you so much for being here and for your kind comment! 🙋🏻‍♂️😊💗

[@aleksandra.s.89]

I love how the pink looks with the cardboard. I enjoy these real time process videos - very inspiring! 😊

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Aleksandra! Yes! I had no idea the pink and the cardboard would POP like it did! I agree. Thank you so much for being here and watching! 🙋🏻‍♂️😊💗

[@texaspqueen]

All of your work is my favorite. You have a good variety of tutorials, flips and chatting it up.

[@MissJay4258]

Great idea for a front pocket with a window to switch out the latest art project. I like how the paper towel roll makes a rounded spine.

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Jay! Thank you so much! I thought about you when I used the paper towel roll as I know you've gotten really creative with reusing them. It's awesome! Thank you for everything! 🙋🏻‍♂️😊💗

[@stacylinn3102]

I am finally about to start a trashy journal! I was inspired by your videos and then my husband gets this particular coffee every month and it always comes in a really beautiful box! I can't wait to start🥰

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi Shelly! Thank you so much!! LOL I think rubbish is a cool word.😂 Trash is fun too. Trash has several meanings of course. There was a fun song here a few years back called Trashy Women by Confederate Railroad. Such a fun song. lol I'm so glad to have you here! Thanks for watching! 🙋🏻‍♂️😊💗

@@abitofbirdsong ❤Hi Lynn! Good to hear from you too!! The past couple of years out-did me for awhile ... I didn't handle it all well and kind of sunk under the weight of it all ... and am ashamed to say that I kind of just let everything go ... even my friends ... not good ... but I'm doing much better now ... HAPPY it is a new year ... HOPE HOPE HOPE it is a good one for alllll of us ... I've missed you ... I'm using a journal I made from one of your GREAT videos with the wonderful safety pin binding ... because it is such a fun happy cheerful journal and has helped to perk me up 🙂 ... ❤❤❤ jayne

[@abitofbirdsong]

Awwww Jayne, the most important thing is that you are rebounding and that you listened to your need for pulling back from things for awhile. Our bodies and minds often have a way of preserving us when we don't know what to do. That said, I'm sorry you have felt the weight of it all and sort of outdone. I hope 2023 is an amazing beautiful healthy prosperous year for you! 💕💕💕

Hi Lynn what is the size of this journal, just for reference? Are you going to show more pages of this journal ?

[@abitofbirdsong]

I will measure the journal when I am back in the workshop, and yes, definitely planning to share more of this! xx

[@murielwhite9472]

Really enjoyed this but where is part 2?

[@abitofbirdsong]

Hi! You’ve inspired me to make better tags for this journal. If you look at my trashy journal playlist you’ll see more of this journal with the pink tape. I’ll try to get videos for this journal in one playlist. xx

[@jenns_artlandia7896]

Where's #teamblue lol 💙

[@abitofbirdsong]

LOLOL Jenn!! This has turned into THE PINK CHANNEL lately. And I think of you every time I pull pink onto the desk. In my defense, the blue tape was not on clearance. 😂 🙋🏻‍♂️😊💗
