15 minutes of mixed media
Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 5:01AM Welcome to 15 minutes of mixed media. Because of the overwhelming and positive response to the film version of this exercise in time management, I thought I would share another process video for this weeks self imposed challenge.
I think it is important to create everyday. When I first made the committment to do this, I doubted it's ability to help me be creative. I was wrong. Making the time to put any medium, to any substrate, on a daily basis has done more to motivate and inspire me than I ever thought possible.
This week's supply list: Apple Barrel Acrylic craft paints in - Key West Bleu Turquoise and Sublime Lime Gloss, Craft Smart Acrylic craft paint in Neon Pink, Painters Brand paint pens in red, black white and hot pink and orange, Golden Fluid Acrylics in Van Dyke Brown Hue, UHU Glue Stick, Water Brushes filled with watered down Dylusions Inks, a few stencils, scissors, paintbrush, brayer and an old gift card.
I am working in this art journal and love it! I started this week with a blank page, as I have had a few requests to do so. I usually take a day and make backgrounds so that when I go to create I have a colorful substrate to jumpstart the creative process.
Here are a few other journal pages I created using this technique!

Fantastic as always, Rae!
Just fascinating to watch you work!! Thank you so, so much for sharing the video and the process behind your page. It looks easy when you do it. xx
Thank you sweet Sandi - it is truly a great exercise in art and time management and it is keeping me creating in my journal each and every day!
oh Lynn - thank you so much! I am happy that you are enjoying the exercise! you are sweet to check in so faithfully! ;)
Would you mind sharing the name or type of book/journal you are working in? I like that size & for some unknown reason not many blogs tell me about the journal that they have purchased or if the journal was handmade. Thank you. I love the colors. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Linda! Sure I am working in the Dyan Reavely Creative Journal - the small size, which is 5 x 8 I think! Here is the link:
