May we live a lifestyle that develops eyes to see and ears to hear and may we document our discoveries in a field manual so as not to forget the beauty.

On-Deck: We have been tossin’ around ideas regarding TAJ Community prompts for June-July // think: Fried Green Tomatoes meets Thelma and Louise!
It’s summer! Let’s have some fun and daring adventures + add to our life-story, Bravehearts!
★ May’s Theme: It is time to explore the world outside of our nests and view our lives, and our world, from a new perspective … The May ebook for The Art Journaler Community Subscribers includes seven pages of flight-themed journaling prompts + images + quotations!
Becky Bowen Craig authored the May journaling guide for The Art Journaler Community. She has been keeping her left-brain busy for 20+ years in the fields of insurance and law, but after spending many years pining away for a creative life, collecting and organizing and reorganizing art supplies, it has become apparent to her that her soul was, in fact, nesting. She is thrilled to be a part of The Art Journaler Community, where she is slowly opening her creative wings and preparing to take flight.
The Art Journaler is not one person.
It is not Mandy.
It is not Teresa.
It is not a certain style or a level of artistic accomplishment.
It is a collective us. A messy us. A sparkly us. A secret us. An entity greater than us. It is a belonging. And you? You belong. Welcome inside.
★ During the month of May TAJ Community subscribers are sharing our discoveries of Taking Flight weekly via our individual blogs!
The goal of The Art Journaler Facebook Page is to foster a community atmosphere … a spacious {but cozy} room with walls of windows … paint drips on the floor and long tables of collage ephemera … undaunted laughter, occasional giggles and whispers-in-a-spin from those daring to unfold what they previously only peeked at within.
Another option for community is The Art Journaler Flickr Gallery. We’d love for you to create along with us. We can share our discoveries and pass around our field journals as we capture bits of our risky explorations. We can use our imperfect art to remind one another we are exactly where we need to be in our one wild and precious life. {Try out the Flickr app for iPhone!}
We can whisper “me too’s” in underground layers, because we speak each other’s language and we are safe there.
Journal to journal, heart to heart … ripple to ripple, torn pages, ripped words, mending hearts and discoveries. It is all in the pages where we abide, doodle, collage, paint and chronicle our secrets, our discoveries … our dreams.
The goal of The Art Journaler is to promote a “no rules” encouragement for art journaling as a personal practice.
Which is why we offer the free quote-prompts via Facebook and Twitter. As well as special downloads with prompts for The Art Journaler Community subscribers — an {expanded} version of community: the opportunity for private community collaborations, “me-too’s” and sharing what {and how} we are doing {and discovering} as art journalers. We also meet on Google Hangout at least once a month!
