I can’t be with you today with a video, but I do have a little something anyway! I have a Studio Prompt for you and I’ll explain myself better in an upcoming video. Here is the prompt:

Go to your stash and choose just one item that you saved to use in a junk journal—something you’ve passed over many times. Don’t worry if it’s not special. Just hold it in your hand and ask yourself:

Why did I keep this?
What do I find attractive or compelling?
Does this prompt a memory or a carry a certain feeling?
What does it remind you of?

You don’t have to use it today, unless you want to. Just remember it. Name its story.

That’s the beginning of making art with meaning.

Thank you for this prompt. It has helped me to think more deeply about why I have kept something and to try and let go more of hoarding it and use it. I am working on a journal at the moment that I started about 18 months ago to showcase my time at Community Care organisation where I volunteer. It has been almost two years now since I started and I will be looking for a paid job as my study is finishing this month. So I have come back to what I collected for this journal and I am using the beautiful items I set aside - it is a loose art deco / art nouveau theme. And I am almost finished! As the organisation has a thrift shop I have also included some of my special finds! And one signature showcases all the different personalities I have met and the connections I have made ❤

Hi Kathleen, Hope you’re recovering ❤️‍🩹 fast. Thank you 🙏 so much for this prompt ☺️ I have had this packaging from Amazon possibly, for sometime, and wanting to make a journal cover with it. Finally I’m making it

Oh! I just found this Studio thing!🎉 I watch your videos on my big TV so there’s no way to interact until I sync my iPhone with the tv so I can make comments. I’m slow to the party but forever grateful for all that you’re sharing!
