Well, this is my first blog on this site. I have signed up for the Weekly Art Date and am trying to get the hang of it. I'm having some trouble (being a bit dumb on the internet, I suppose) in following the course. I keep logging in to last year's posts and work. So, I need to know exactly which link to use to get into this year's work.
I guess I'll find out how it goes - I'm nothing if not persistent!
About my own attempts at artjournaling, I am a (very) beginner and am trying out all sorts of things. Up to now it seems I have mainly being buying art supplies, while telling myself that I can use up all sorts of bits and pieces I have stashed away in my drawers and boxes. This I must try to refrain from and just make sure, to start with, I have the main necessities.
I am presently living in England (temporarily) so have had to buy more stuff.
To wit:  Gesso primer (Reeves)
        Artists' Acrylic Matt Medium (Winsor & Newton)
        A variety of Sharpie pens
        6 Derwent Inkintense pencils
        Various glues
        A variety of acrylic and water colour paint brushes.  

 and not much else, except paper, of course: a moleskin sketch boook and some watercolour paper I bought and intend to make into a journal myself - see how that goes!
The picture is of my Christmas- time effort!!

    You'll always need to buy some supplies... and Moira will show you how to use things you already have. She's a great teacher and has so many ideas. Hope you have fun in the class - I'm looking forward to the whole year! {:-Deb

    Hello, Deb, nice to "meet" you!!
    As I'm a month behind on the course, I've been reading up on what has been going on during January.
    So many hot tips and wonderful encouragement! I recognize some of the pitfalls I've already fallen into, so am glad I'm not the only one, and feel I am now on track!
    This is really going to be a learning curve for me, but they say it's never to late!!
    Cheers,
    Leonora

    Memories of a trip to the North of Portugal in the autumn.
    Two days in a camper van with my sister and brother-in-law. We had a lovely time in spite of the weather. It is such a beautiful part of the country.
    Portugal isn't only the Algarve!!

    I don't know about buying supplies to make artjournaling a thing to do and then upload to my 'blog'! I can't fathom out how to get the pictures up, but when I do then I don't know how I did it. Complete idiot and have nobody to ask. HELP!
