Try again art journal page: when you fail, don’t give up!
Art, just like Life, often does go to plan but if you stumble and fall, just keep trying 😉
Lucky my art journal is a safe place to stumble as my knees are covered in virtual bumps and cuts haha
Ok let’s get to it!
Watch my little video tutorial below and let me know your thoughts on this with a comment below (scroll down to the bottom of the page) as I always love to hear from you!
And remember, my free video tutorials are sped up with only a few explanations as I am just sharing my process with you from the studio. If you’d like to learn mixed media with me, I created my No Shenanigans book and e-course with highly detailed step-by-step tutorials so you can learn mixed media quickly and build confidence at the same time. Check them out here 🙂
With love and sunshine,
Mimi Bondi

I have had trouble stamping in my journals, more than once! I loved your persistence and your victory! It’s a beautiful page and a great message. Thanks for the tip, too, about gesso down the spine. I learn so much from you.
You are so welcome Heather! I hope you will want to learn even more with me through my book, e-course or online workshops 🙂 And never give up, you are stronger than art supplies lol mimi
This was fantastic to watch!
Thank you so much Kristi 🙂 And thank you for stopping by my little corner of the web! mimi
Mimi,
Another brilliant page! Love your persistence with that flower stamp and also your recovery…….LOL I find stamping in my journal does not always give a good impression. Thanks for the video………I love watching you create.
Thank you Sharon hahaha Yes it’s hard to get a good impression sometimes with the bulk of the pages and the texture that accumulates, but I’m a stubborn French girl 🙂
