[@artgirl6784]

I think you did the right thing by adding the yellow to the words because now it looks vintage. I like it.

I love this. I am glad it helped you get back into your creative flow. Thanks for sharing.

Slowly but surely. I find I just need to create not have everything planned out ahead. Too much thinking gets me in trouble creatively. Karen

[@amyshefman9806]

Beautiful! I’m new to art journaling, and wondering if there’s a way to prevent the corners from curling? Thanks!

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you... I don't have much trouble with curling corners...I used Canson Mixed Media paper...and usually gesso the page...but it doesnt curl when I dont.... Dry from both top and bottom and then if it curls...rub it on the edge of table straight edge...usually that gets it to straighten out. Karen

[@amyshefman9806]

Karen Burchill thanks so much for the info!

[@artgirl6784]

Wow!!

[@KarenBurchill]

[@punjabpainting2002]

very nice dear

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you very much . Karen

[@sharonwechter5747]

Thanks for your video! I just discovered you on KZbin this morning! I’ve just begun my first art journal, wonder if you have a favorite medium to use first in priming a page? Or do you skip this? Second question, your recommendations on notebooks for mixed media?

[@KarenBurchill]

Yes I do! I've used many books...some repurposed, but the one I use the most is the Canson Mixed Media ..both in size 7 X 10 which is not too big or not too small....and Canson Mixed Media in 9 X12 which gives a bit more page so you can do more on..K

[@penderisdale]
