If any of you are wondering where the lettering video is, we will get something up soon. Life is getting in the way right now. In the meantime, keep doing penwork in the form of dots, swirlies, circles, ...lots and lots of penwork. This is the part I didn't discuss and while I do alot of the journaling fast and furious, this is the part that I slow down with and be more meditative about. There is a wonderful blissfulness that comes from allowing your right brain to simply execute random marks while keeping your left brain out of it entirely. especially when you are listening to good music at the same time. don't have good music to draw to? Go to itunes, look for the artist, "Cell". Get "live at glade festival". it may not be my ultimate favorite but it is excellent.
ps...if you want examples of doodling, just look back at previous journal page posts and you will see it now that you are looking for it. OH...and I have so many ideas for more videos! check back in a few days.

Thanks for all the videos you've already done ... I watched them all yesterday and this morning and can't wait to dive back into my journal (haven't played in it in over a year!)
Looking forward to the next round of videos ...
OH..... HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!!!! This is like an early Christmas gift. Thanks
I want to thank you for your wonderful videos! They're great!
Okay...I'm holding on...just love your process and I'm doing the background painting and the collage next while I wait for your next inspiring video. Thanks Teesha:}
I also watched all the videos. You have done a really wonderful job with them. You really have a knack for great videos: clear instructions and a flair for describing why you like certain supplies and techniques best. I actually made and painted a journal. The directions are super for the large sheet of paper! No waste and easy to bind. Truly, thank you so much!
Anxiuosly, but patiently, awaiting!! :)
I am crazy to see new videos.. healthy so beautiful and instructive.. it is feather that here in my parents I don't get to find the right pens.. mainly that that writes white.. so difficult...

Made the journal and painted the pages last night. So Easy to follow your videos, you are a GEM for sharing so much of yourself. I have never jumped into art without a lot of thought, this is so liberating. I'm enjoying the process and looking forward to freeing myself from self doubt and my inner critic. Again THANK YOU SO MUCH

I have to admit I have been waiting eagerly for the lettering videos but I will patiently wait. I LOVE what you have posted so far and it has inspired me to get my journal out on my desk and to work in it again a la Teesha style! So fun, thank you!!
Hugs

While no longer maintained, the Doodlage blog is also a good place to get ideas:

These videos are so amazingly awesome that I think I'll actually get off my creative butt and get started on a journal! You're making the whole process look like so much fun! Thank you SO much for sharing!
Teesha, I just wanted to take the chance to say thank you for the fantastically inspiring videos you so generously shared here over the weekend. I has a blast playing and trying out doing journal pages the teesha-way and I know many other artist friends who have as well. I am looking forward to the lettering piece when your life gives you the cue to go for it ! ;)
Thanks again so much !
Teesha, what more can I say that hasn't already been said..
THANK YOU FOR THE GENEROSITY AND
THE INSPIRATION!! YOU ROCK!!!!

Hi Teesha, I just wanted to say thank you. I loved my time a Journalfest! What an amazing and inspiring group of people. I'm looking forward to my first Artfest. I'm enjoying your videos too. I've had some of those pan pastels sitting around waiting for me to play with them, so it was nice to see how they are working for you. Again, thanks so much.
can`t wait to see more video`s, I just love them!!!
I've always said I don't do journals, it's not my thing. Then I watched your videos, so clear and fun, demystifying a few things for me, that I went straight to my table and started a journal (almost finished now). I work intuitively so your instructions were perfect for me. You are the most generous soul on earth -- THANK YOU!
Thanks for the videos - I learned so much and am looking forward to seeing the rest.
So great of you and Tracy to share your info. Re: the left and right brain thing - I noticed in a few parts of the videos when you were getting into it - it was a struggle to switch back to the other side to speak about what you were doing. Aren't our brains amazing? And you must be a true artist because your brain switches over to that artistic side so so so quickly!
Love it - keep it up - we are all waiting - patiently!
Your videos are like little gifts that sparkle in the winter darkness here! Thank you, and know that the work you put in are hugely appreciated by the blogging artsy community! We are all your fans! :-)
What a treat. This series of vids really gets the juices flowing. Once again your positive impact is felt in Port Orchard. :) Thanks so much Teesha, you're the Bomb!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful brilliant colored ideas and all videos. It's a great inspiration.

I have always tried to figure out how you made your journal pages - I'm so excited to see it. Even doing exactly what you do, I come out with a totally different look with a style all my own. It's fun! Thanks!
Teesha these videos are fantastic. i really feel like i could sit down right now and make one. Thanks so much cant wait for the writing vids.
I watched all your videos yesterday and I loved them all. I caught a few minutes to paint some back grounds pages in my journal today with the watercolors. You are very talented and I can't wait to see more videos.
Shame on anyone complaining about no lettering video. You've spoiled us all rotten with this abundance of videos and inspiration. Thank you so much.
Teesha, We will be waiting very patiently while you get thru life and it lets you go again. Even very busy, you gave us instructions. Thank you again. Sharon
Teesha which red and which brown did you use?
Oh what awesome news...I check every day , several times a day for the next video. I have seen the ones you've posted more than once I must say. Thanks soooo much, and I can't wait to see the next ones...!!!!!!
more more more! cannot wait! yippieee!
A true sign of a true artist .. generousity! Can't wait to see more and more from Teesha Moore!
:-)
Thanks so much for the videos. I went right out and bought paper, made a journal, painted the pages and have done some collaging. Thanks for the spark of inspiration!!!
Emie
thank you so much for all the hard work and time in making and sharing these videos... as you can see you have lit an inspirational fire under a lot of people, myself included...
Many thanks and gratitude for your wonderful videos. You have inspired me to actually make a journal and I've done my first page - all this after putting it off for over 2 years because I didn't know how to start and was afraid of messing up!
There's no stopping me now - thank you !
I am just so thrilled that you have put up all these videos that I can't tell you! I heard about the first one the day before yesterday but couldn't get to it until now. I've watched it and now have all the rest to look forward to.
Thank you! It makes me feel better about never being able to get to any of your events...
Wow, I just read a bunch of the comments and it looks like you have inspired and re-inspired a lot of people. Great job!
I'm just blown away by the videos. Apparently the pastels are not available in my state, I haven't looked for the markers yet. I think I got the name of the paper OK - I'm going to have to go back thru for a list of supplies; most are unfamiliar to me! Anyway, when I looked online it seems there are panpastels and something called tints and shades - are there particular types you like? I can't find an explanation of the differences. Thanks so much; what an awesome artist you are! Linda B.
Thanks for amazing videos and inspiration!! I´m from Finland and huge fan of your art for so long. I always wanted to attend sucha classes but we don´t have anything like this here. Art journaling is in baby´s steps here :( anyways pan pastels seems amazing so I had to order online. For those who live in Europe and want them, go to:

Thanks again for these, you rock!
bravo, great effort from you two. thanks so much for sharing!
Thankyou so much, Teesha. I had been longing for you to do an online course, as I am in the UK. Then along come all these videos..amazing and so generous of you. Looking forward to the lettering one when you get the opportunity. Thankyou!

Teesha you make it look all SO simple ~ thanks a million for these video's. I've always wanted to make my own journal but found the process quite daunting - guess who is off to the art shop today :)
Tracy - thanks for your patience LOL, steady hand and your inspiration too.
I've gotten The Teesha Bug for sure now! :-)
Love the videos Teesha - very inspiring. Can't wait to get started on my own journal now - just waiting for my Fabriano paper to arrive!
Teesha, Again, saying what everyone else has - wonderful videos and so easy to follow and understand. I was inspired to do my own today!
I had a couple questions maybe you could address in the next video. I already had my "stash" to pull from, but how do you get your images? Do you just sit down one night and pull things from mags and how is it sorted? if at all?lol. Like, do you keep faces separate from patterns - etc. And do you have a certain system for finding these or do they find you? I'm sure we would all be interested in that.
The other thing was, I know you said you just go without thinking, but once you get so far doesn't a theme or story come to you? I was starting randomly and then I saw a story appear. Is that just me or do you get that too. It is hard for me to go without planning and this was very good in that respect but I still found myself having a "purpose" for the picture. Do you know what I mean?
Anyways, now that I've wrote my own story! :)
