We’ve come to the end of an eight-week season of story in my art journaling adventures, specifically with Get Messy Art Journal community.
It’s been busy!
For most of my pages I avoid using my own image, but I’m trying to incorporate more of these as an exercise in pushing myself.
I took over the Get Messy Art Journal Instagram account for a week and there I walked people through a step by step process of creating a page.
This is the step by step page I made during the IG takeover. This page focused on common themes and characters found in stories.
There I also shared some of the Purple Kitty story with the illustrations I’ve created to go with the story.

It was interesting to discover the different brain topics this season brought up. It’s a funny thing about story: so many of our stories are intertwined with those of other people, and it can take some work to figure out how to handle telling that story. What things are for someone else’s business, and what things are for us to share because they were our experience?
While I agree with this quote from Anne Lamott, I’ve been thinking about this from a more positive angle.
Soon I hope to offer some prints of some of these pages, so check back soon for an update!
Here’s a quick video round up of my season of story journal. Hope you enjoy it!
