Part of what makes art journaling so freeing is the fact that there is no wrong way to do it. You simply follow the little sparks of ideas you get when you pick up art supplies -- from paints to butterfly wings, to old books.
Above is an Altoids tin I glued vintage book page bits, tea bag paper and other ephemera to. It stores snippets of text for art journaling.
Words snipped out of old books, magazines or wherever you like can be added to your art journal pages.
Clipping them out can be a relaxing way to slip into your creative mode, and you can assemble them into poems that don't have to mean anything to anyone but you.
I was thinking of a dream cruise to Alaska, and found these bits in an old travel book.
You can often find old books in thrift shops, rummage sales, and in free piles at libraries, etc.
The books I use were mostly saved from going into a dumpster.
Why not give some old text a new life in your art?
Happy Creating!
