In the Studio: Stamping/Oil Pastel with Art Journal Spread

Art Journal Fun with 
Stamping and pastel

Hello and Welcome Back to Going Gentle where we share a slower pace and get creative at the same time. 
For this post, I will be sharing about an Art Journal Spread that I've been working on since late 2023 (now that's going gentle!) 
I've been slowly making progress with lots of layers, fabric cutting and using stamps and making marks with oil pastel. 
My goal is to complete this spread before 2024 has concluded. 
Right now I'm in the midst of adhering the layer of fabric that I cut many months ago as part of the design element. 

The video above shows my process of adding a watch/clock stamp in varying places with pattern and overlapping, showing the passage of time I am expressing through the deeper meaning of this spread. 

I also use black and vibrant green oil pastel, by Faber Castell, making marks in various places. 

I do not include any narration in the video. I recorded it on the weekend while I was home with hubby. I do add a few notes to the screen clarifying what I am doing. So if you want a peek behind the scenes of playing in  my art journal, this is for you! 

My delight is for you to be inspired with your own creative pursuits! You are welcome to engage in whatever inspires you creatively while you watch. It's an 8 minute video, so just enough time to do something fun and inspiring! 

If you haven't already, and if you enjoy the video, please give it a like, leave a comment (either below or on my YouTube, and subscribe. I truly appreciate your support. 

I had fun filming this for you and I trust that fun with translate to you as you watch!
