The ABC Art Journal Series “T” page is here! This page is really quite a simple page, but is quite beautiful. I was very inspired by Donna Downey. If you haven’t seen anything she’s done, make sure you’ve become as unequivocally obsessed with her as the rest of the art journaling community is! This page is made using Distress Ink Reinkers, clear spray varnish, acrylic paint, stencils, and Heidi Swapp Colorshine sprays.
I absolutely love this page, Aaron. I’m new to art journaling and truthfully, it never would have occurred to me to make “finger flowers”. Thanks for the awesome videos. You inspire me.

Thank you so much for saying that, Connie! It means a lot to me that you’re finding inspiration in my videos! Thanks for watching! -Aaron
Woop! woop! Love this page Aaron, thanks for sharing.
Big love AJ 🙂
You’re so awesome for always watching, AJ! -Hugs, Aaron
Great page. I love your videos, you explain steps so well. Good luck with your courses and I hope you blog about how you are doing!
Thanks for watching, Denise! I’m already starting to drown in reading and the semester hasn’t even officially started yet! EEK! Thank goodness I have a BUNCH of videos ready to go on YouTube once a week for the next couple of months! Hugs, Aaron
I’m new to this blog but I’m loving what I’m seeing. You have so many great ideas. I started an ABC project once… maybe you’re hard work will get me back into it again.
Thanks for joining us here, Susan! I think you should get started on a new ABC project! It’s a lot of fun and what in the world do we do with “X”?! I think I already have an idea for that one! -Aaron
LOVE this page Aaron… I would frame this and hang it on my wall.
Now for the questions:
1. Where did you get the long thin brush?
2 Does it have a specific name?
3. Can I book an arty manicure next time I’m in town (joke)
Thanks, Christa!
1. I got the long thin brush from a beauty supply store in the nail and manicure area.
2. I don’t think so. I think it’s just called a “liner” or “striper” (NOT stripper!) brush.
3. Absolutely! As long as that means you’re bringing Fos with you and we get to have a great meal!
Big hugs, Aaron!
Okay, so LOVE this page!! Very Donna Downey inspired and it makes me happy looking at it. I think I have to do a ‘finger flowers alphabet stencil’ page soon…..right after I’m done purging in my studio. Why, oh WHY did I think it would be a good idea to purge and re-organize an entire studio?! You should see it right now…….wait, actually you shouldn’t see it, lol. I could honestly be filming an episode of TLC Hoarders. Anyway, have you ever tried a charcoal pencil for shading, blending or framing? They’re my newest Art Journal addiction and I love those things! Back to my studio I go…..wish me luck!

Hi, Yvonne! I loooooove Donna Downey! She’s my girl! I gladly give her all props for the inspiration she’s given me. She’s one of my favorite artists!
Oh, and yes…I love charcoal! I started art by using charcoal to draw (not overly well, mind you…) and I used it in my Blog Hop Summertime video on YouTube. That turned out to be one of my favorite art journal spreads!
