Thank you for sharing your creativity, Meg! I needed this video today. I recently shared an art journal I was making with a "real" artist who barely glanced at it and set it aside as if it was the dumbest thing she's ever seen. The old me would have been ashamed to see my work rejected. I realize now and especially from watching your video's that creativity cannot be judged by others because its an expression of oneself. This "real" artist copies pictures using pastels and they are quite lovely, but she failed to see that my art journal came from within and was more than just cutting out paper and gluing it randomly into a book. I love knowing that there is a whole community of art journal enthusiasts and I'm grateful for all of those who share their personal work on KZfaq.

I’m so sorry you had that experience! In my fine art class at college we were actually encouraged to keep “visual diaries”, which was basically art journaling without calling it that! Glad you’ve found this community online, everyone is always so encouraging! And if you’re on IG feel free to DM me, I’d love to see your art ☺️

Then who is the real artist? You are!

I'm so sorry, that must've been hard to go through. I find your words inspiring, I too suffer from self doubt, but not for art. Your share gave me perspective on my case. I think you're an artist, the way you speak.

Perfectionism and indecision are my biggest challenges. This video made me realize that building the habit is also a hurdle to tackle. Thanks, Meg!

I think that’s why daily challenges can be fun because they force you to use your creative muscles and worry less about the “result”. It definitely comes in seasons though!

Everything you said is perfect for this beginner who is procrastinating due to the bane of perfectionism! Thank you.

I love watching you create because there’s moments where I don’t see your vision but then it all comes together.

Imperfection is one problem I have, but I tell myself it’s suppose to be messy. 💜💜💜

It's been a while...since I last watched your videos Meg. I'm into painting and sketching the last month or so. Also detoxing from social media and my phone usage due to migraines unfortunately. I love watching your journalling process Meg. So relaxing ❤ thank you for these tips. So helpful 😁

Hi Meg, love your videos. Always inspiring. And I loved that tag you created. While mine would probably not turn out quite like that, it did give me inspiration to try!

Love all these tips and your inspiring collage specially the basket tip to limit choices. I was wondering what’s the dots stamp that you are using and the brown paper with the white crosses?

@megjournals 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! The tissue paper is something I saved from a gift, and the dot stamp I've had for so long I've lost the packaging🤣 It may have been from The Works or similar!

Thank you! Oh, I wish I could remember, I think it must have been in a set. I’ll be sad when it runs out!
