These are a few pages from a visual journal I have been carrying around and playing with recently. Inspired by artist
Teesha Moore, I have been exploring her ideas and color use to stretch my own boundaries a bit.

The text is inspired by a book I love,
Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland.

On her website and on YouTube, Teesha Moore has generously shared a series of
videos about how she creates her journal pages. They are definitely fun and inspiring and worth a look. After watching them, I made this little book so I could play too.

What I love most about visual journaling is the freedom it gives us to play and explore.
You don't have to create a masterpiece, just get out the paint, markers, glue sticks and pens and see where it takes you. Use whatever inspires you and have unstructured fun.
