I recently discovered the glory of art journals. I am the kind of person who gets really nervous before painting in fear of ruining a canvas so for this reason the art journal is a great outlet for me. I am able to mess around with ideas in a handy little book before committing to a canvas. You dont have to be good at drawing to keep an art journal you can collage from magazines instead of sketching. An art journal could just be a bunch of ideas for bigger ideas or the layout of your garden...each page is an empty canvas. Art journals can also have themes and quotes. A love journal, a contemplative journal or a "what's wrong with the world?" journal. I have one that is purely art ideas and one filled with clothes and makeup that i like and i'm about to start one for inspirational wedding ideas. I love the thought of these being around after i am no longer in this world as a keepsake for my children.
