Art journaling - 4 steps to get you going

[@lindseywarren44]

Soooooo pleased you are "back"!! I've been a sub of yours from the beginning and I have always loved your aesthetic. When I lost my husband of 30 years, I packed up all of my art things and gave them to my friends to give away or sell. But, those angels held onto everything and eventually I realized what a hole not creating had left in my life. They promptly brought everything back to me! I will be forever grateful to have had angels in my life that recognized that I would return one day to the art that I very much needed for my soul's peace. Thank you, my dear for all of the inspiration over the years. So grateful for you! Much love and bless xoxo

[@JessonArt]

Thank you ❤️I’m sorry for your loss and really happy you found your way back to your creativity. What amazing friends you have who understood that you would find the spark again.

[@sherri2963]

What beautiful and sensitive souls your friends are to be caretakers of your tools while you venture into grief and after resting with the spirit of your husband, you are ready to bring into creation your loss and joy…and therein lies duality and oneness all experienced simultaneously! Sending you much love and light. ❤

Lindsey, thank you for sharing your story. I am 69, and just found JessonArt's channel today. I have a similar story. I lost my beautiful mother 8 years ago. There was less than a week to clear her apartment. With my overstuffed house half a continent away, a lot of things had to be let go. There were boxes of ancient family photos. My grieving brain led me to put everything next to a dumpster for disposal. A man I barely knew (long story, not romantic, a true friend) was aghast. He went and got everything, took the pictures to a lab for scanning, and sent me the cds. Like you: forever grateful, this time for the kindness and wisdom of a stranger. Wishing you peace, and healing.

[@lesliemorrell6432]

The hard part for me is covering the initial, crazy collage part. I love them just as they are! You manage to transform it into something completely different from how it began. Love to watch. Thanks!

[@bulldogsathome]

Oh! Also,I just have to say how much I love the music you use as well. So peaceful

[@LynnetteOrtiz-dk9my]

Hi there, just came across your channel tonight. So glad I did! It was so much fun watching you step by step making your creation. Thank you for sharing your talent! It was very refreshing to have the music & no talking all the way through. I am a visual learner & this made it so much more enjoyable for me. If you had to explain anything you did so with inserting text. Thank you for that:) On a more personal note I've been through a lot & took 2024 to heal physically, emotionally & spiritually. 2025 is all about exploring my passion for creating art again. So thank you again. I sure appreciate you!

[@JohanneDaviault]

I’m glad you decided to create again. Because, thanks to you, I will myself go back to it; I have been lacking inspiration and will for a few months! Thank you for taking the time to share your art.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you! I’m also in a slump. I’m currently not creating anything. I’m happy to hear that you’re getting back into it. Hope I will too

[@lindabuckner9006]

Just what I needed today! I’ve been stagnant for several months and I’m inspired!

[@JessonArt]

Yay 🤗so happy I have inspired you. I know how it feels. It feels Great to be creative again

[@DawnoftheDay-mb7zt]

Thank you for coming back! I have checked frequently to see if you have posted anything new. I love your work and your process! Aren’t you excited to see that your talent and inspiration are right there where you left them?

[@JessonArt]

Thank you 🌸 I was happy I finally felt like doing something creative and hope my inspiration will stay this time.

Balm to my soul today. TYFS. Creative block due to supply overload. I was wondering where I could go in my art journal. I love the little bird. Must have one somewhere in my giant stash right 😂 Hugs, Kate in New York.❤

Probably 😂 crafters have overload of stuff… actually I have downsized with my art materials. Thank you❤️

Thank you

[@Aeronwen813]

Lovely page. It expresses the very stillness of your quotation and, to my mind, doesn't need anything adding to it. However, it's your journal and you must do what you feel is necessary. Thank you for sharing you skills and process.

[@JessonArt]

Thank you so much 💗 it’s when I edit the video, I see things I could do differently or things to add. It gives you a different perspective that’s all. 😅
