Tracy and I were so thrilled with the feedback I got on my first video that it got us jazzed to keep going with the journaling process. Saturday morning I woke up and couldn't wait to get started. Tracy was working on projects of his own so I decided to do it myself. I went through the process which took about 3 hours and when I got all through with it I realized I didn't have the camera in the right spot and most of what I was showing was off camera. Argh! Lesson learned. I was so bummed that I spent the rest of the day cleaning...and being in a bad mood. Thankfully I woke up this morning back to my chipper self and tracy was willing to stand on a chair the entire time working the camera so we could document the journaling process. We are playing around with some stuff based on some of the comments. One of which is that we are uploading it to youtube in hopes that you can enlarge the screen, etc. By the end of tonight, we should have a few more videos up on youtube if you do a search for my name. We will post them here in the next few days as well. This is all just experimenting and playing on our part but we are encouraged to do more. Thanks for all the feedback. I was in shock to see so many comments. btw...the picture at the top was the result of the demo I did on saturday that didn't tape good. it's unfinished.
You rock!!! I'm so excited to see what you two come up with next! LOVED the first video! Of course I love that paper and anything you can make with just one sheet is totally cool!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome, I can't wait to see more videos. Thanks for working out the screen size thing. I'm so looking forward ot being able to see what you're doing properly.
ReplyDeleteThank You Teehsa!!
ReplyDeleteI loved and appreciate the first and am looking forward to more!!
Thank You for sharing!!
oh, that will be great, thanks for sharing your technique with all of us!
ReplyDeleteHi Teesha (and Tracy). Say, Jackie and I have been doing videos, too (for www.illustratingstories.com -- ISFlicks on YouTube). Anyway, a friend mentioned to me (and he's a brilliant SEO/Marketing mind) that placing your web address (via a callout) to play in the lower right corner for the duration of the video is a GREAT way to bring people to your website (e.g., from YouTube or wherever the video is embedded). I'm not sure if you're interested in doing that, but I thought I'd pass along the tip...
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm so GLAD that you're doing these and they are posted to YouTube now -- it is the only venue (that we've encountered, anyway) that, also, plays on the iPhone! YAY! =)
Thanks so much for sharing these AWESOME tutorials. They (and you) ROCK!
Thank you so much for sharing your videos. They are such a gift to those of us that cannot attend events like Journalfest (we need something like this is Australia).
ReplyDeleteWould be great if once you have done a few if you could compile them onto a DVD - could watch them over and over on a really big screen. Just an idea that you might consider further down the track.
Thanks again for being so generous and sharing - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Love MB
Thank you for so generously sharing your techniques. I for one really appreciate them. I live in the UK and although people here do journal, I personally do not know of anyone near to where I live who does, so this is great. I love books, but seeing it done first hand and the thoughts behind it is brilliant. Once again, a big thank you.
ReplyDeletethank you !!! i loved and appreciate your work
ReplyDeleteoh man, teesha - that is a bummer! but thank you for perserving (and you got some cleaning done, yipee!)
ReplyDeletexoxo,
kecia (your alter ego, or are you my alter ego?: referencing the conversation we had about you being called, Keesha and me being called Teesha!)
Teesha and Tracy you ROCK!! I was so excited to watch the first video I could barely contain myself. I watched it and then made one the next morning! You are an excellent teacher! I am very pleased to see more here. Now maybe I won't miss Art&Life and PLAY so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your art with us! You really are very generous.

I watched all of your tutorials today. Thank you for taking the time to do these. Despite having read your written words in various places about your process it comes off different in real life somehow. I love hearing of your process even though I don't copy your work in my own art journaling. I loved hearing you say things like you work fast and little tips like that to encourage us all to just flow on with it and not slow down to try to get things super perfectly cut out or whatever.
ReplyDeleteOne weird thing for some reason from your writing somewhere I thought you used acrylic gel medium as your glue for the collage pieces. When I did that the pens didn't write well on it so I was stuck. I didn't realize you used that gizmo for your collage glue.
One idea is there a way you can flip the camera upside down or flip the video so we see your view like we are looking over your shoulder? Like in photoshop how we can flip a photo upside down, don't know if that works with video.
THANK YOU for making this and also to Tracey for standing on a chair holding the camera that whole time. What a helpful and thoughtful hubby you have. :)
So thrilled that you put such awesome videos on youtube for us to watch. Can't wait for the next ones showing the use of pens is writing! Loved your techniques. You do wonderful work Teesha!
ReplyDeleteI clean when I'm in a bad mood too! So that must mean if my house is a mess I am happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing the videos . I am not really art journaling yet but have been wanting too.Thank you for inspiring me:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us your thoughts while you journal! It's a great help. I love your work! Hugs from all the way her in the Philippines!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how excited I was to read your posts on journaling! This is a dream come true for me! I admire your art so much, and can't wait to use some of your techniques! Thank you SO much! Hugs to both of you!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the videos!! I cannot get enough. Sat through all of them in one evening..cannot WAIT FOR THE JOURNALING PART! (PS your voice sounds "exactly like you." Weird...that usually doesn't happen! I love it when it does!)
ReplyDeleteI love your work and have been following your blog for quite a while now and am delighted to see your step-by-step demo videos. Only one request: Is it possible (overhead mirror perhaps?) to see your demos presented not upside down? It would really help.
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you for sharing your work. You are an inspiration for many of us.
I absolutely LOVE your videos. The fun element and how you construct your pages is fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing the process - most illuminating! =)
ReplyDeleteI've only just discovered your videos (via a link on Karen Michel's blog). I've long admired your journaling skills - thank you for sharing such an incredible resource.
