This week I'm creating a nostalgic collage in my art journal - memories of my Grandmother.

In this week’s video, I’m creating a nostalgic collage in my art journal that holds a very special place in my heart. Inspired by my grandmother’s handwriting and memories from my family’s time in Gloucester, I weave personal stories into this art process, making this one of my most cherished pages. I use a variety of mixed media techniques, including collaging with transparent medical exam paper and aging the journal entry with distress inks. If you love experimenting with personal and nostalgic elements in your art, you’re going to love this process!

⭐Best Viewing Experience for YOU ⭐


Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.

- Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.

- Others prefer to read my process through the closed-caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the CC at the bottom right of the video.

- Some don’t want to hear my voice (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.

I have had every video electronically translated through close captioned subtitles into 50 different languages to be able to reach and connect with as many people as possible. If your language is not represented, please let me know.
