On my radar...


I am a journal FREAK! I have accumulated many over the years and always have one on me for a sketch, a bit of writing or collage. The first thing I do when I get a new journal is design the cover. The one above right has images and quotes that are inspiring and work well together.

I share this process with my students as they are learning about Visual Journals in both Studio and Photography class. Today we will be talking about Ephemera and how it can be used as a medium in collage.

I love these new SMASHbooks for journaling. They're a good place to start experimenting with journaling if you are new to it since each page has a background and/or a prompt to get you thinking. Just got myself a SMASH stick yesterday :)

For a bit of inspiration check out this blog and watch the video on how to SMASH~
