What is an Omni Journal?

This video answers the question "What is an Omni Journal" - and then takes you for a tour of various types of journals and the pros and cons of each in regards to omnijournaling. For a comprehensive journal test, watch this video:

Update: the red journal with black corners is a Vang Aquarellebuch (german) and so far I can only find them at a few art stores in France.....! : ( Sorry to get you psyched about that one gang!

I knew there had to be other people like me out there that are obsessed with journals! Thank you for the video and I will be watching for more!

This is a really good idea. I hadn't heard of this before until your video showed up on my suggestions. So thank you for making this video.

The Dyelusions journal was designed by a woman :-) It's very popular with mixed media journalers.

No clue how this ended up in my recommended videos but I love journals, so pretty interesting. Bout dump some of my many journals and now I see them in a different way.

It's funny to me how all these new names are coming out for a fad many of us got into in 2007 during the "art journal" craze. Whatever you call them, I will never stop having one. 🌙

Great video! Very inspiring! And, thank goodness you have a lovely speaking voice, big plus in my YouTube world!!

Valerie Sjodin brushes on a product on her Bible journal pages that prevents bleed through. I bet the same stuff would help prevent bleed through on your thin sketch book journal pages.

Hi I was wondering if you would ever post any art videos? I think that would be very fun and interesting! :)

[Feldi]

I tend to bind my own Sketchbooks so I can decide what paper goes into it
and I really want to make a Sketchjournal so I visit some Videos like this for inspiration.
Also can you recommend some good waterproof pens for outlines?
I want to get a little more into watercolours.

I LOVE "Clearly designed by a lady!" so true! ^^ Also, brilliant name for your channel! Brilliant! Did you come up with it yourself?

[ilovetobemom]

I liked the pages that you did not care for in your first journal presentation:) It gave me ideas for mine. Do you use one book per month? How do you move on when you run out of room and want to remember what is in the last journal you worked in? Thank you if you have time to answer

Is journal an American word? Whats the real difference between a journal and a sketchbook/notebook? The main thing i've noticed (in my experience) is that things marketed as journals end up being a lot more expensive for lower quality paper. Are they all the same thing and it's just a matter of which word you prefer?

[jolienhellebuyck]

which sketchbook would you recommend for working with copics? preferably soft cover

[SunshineLeclair]

Did you find out the name of the red sketch book? Donna

[doordep]

i had to stop watching bc for some reason the sound of your fingers sliding across the pages made me shrivel up and have an episode. Looked like a great video though!

I'm new to journaling in the way that I was unaware there were whole communities of people who talk about what they do, like, dislike, collect, etc. I'm about halfway thru this video, but I couldn't wait to tell you how much I'm loving the presentation and the fact that you're sharing your experiences with all the different journals out there. Thank you!

I'm so happy I found you!!! I love journals and my husband thinks it's ridiculous to have them all over the house and half don't have anything in them!!! I didn't know anyone else felt the pressure of starting a new one besides me! Def subscribing right now!!!

[JessMalo]

I am so glad I am not the only one who has a collection of journals, sketch books, and pens.

[MissGilAllen]

I honestly don't know how I stumbled on this video; I had no idea an omni journal even existed until this video.

But it is honestly so reliving to find a person just as obsessed with journals as me. And now I don't feel so bad for my "rando" journal in my purse! It's just a disorganized omni journal :D

Your voice is so soothing and you're quite a lovely person, I feel, so now I'm hooked.

I thought I was the only one who wanted umpteen cool journals sometimes for no particular reason. Thank you!
