Uploaded January 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Welcome to Junk Journal January where I’ll take you through my process of creating in my art journal with a grunge theme.

I’ll share my techniques for incorporating grungy papers, art, and envelopes into my journal, creating a unique and imperfect style that I find liberating.

I’ll provide insights into creating grungy papers and incorporating them into the journal, along with using techniques like using black and white mixed with color, adding marks and scribbles, and using found words to add character.

You'll get a glimpse into my process, pick up some ideas for your own art journaling, and perhaps even get inspired to try incorporating a bit of grunge into your own creative projects.
