A mixed media art journal page inspired by Teesha Moore and including a proverb about feeling rich, the spread was made with collage, ink, and acrylic paint.

I’m working on a new project, which I’m not sure about sharing just yet. I’ve decided I’m going to share (and re-share) some older pages while I work on other things. This is one of my first art journal pages, from September 2010.

hi!! I was just wondering what kind of moleskine you use. the binding on my journals fall apart when they get chunky :(

Hi! Really sorry for the delay in responding, I haven't logged into Tumblr for a while! If I buy Moleskines, I usually opt for the Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbooks, I've never had the binding fall apart (knock wood) and I use a lot of heavy media. Hope that helps!
