The difference between an ART journal & a JUNK journal

I have been asked so many times- What's the difference between an ART journal or a JUNK journal - so here's an explanation!

Hi & welcome or welcome back to my channel.
My name is Di - I turn just about anything in to beautiful, handmade journals.

I live in the beautiful South-West of Western Australia, my inspiration comes from the wineries, forests, stunning beaches and great weather we have here!
What's not to like.......

I love eco-dyeing with flowers, plants, the bark of trees etc, I'm always up to something in my studio.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your support. If you like my videos please subscribe & give me a thumbs up, it really helps.

I love how your art journal is a bit of a diary or "memory-book" aswell. Maybe I will start one like that myself! Great inspiration

Thanks for this explanation. I make and use a fusion between the two and I've yet to find my tribe of folks, based in Australia, who do this. They're either into the art journalling scene (very artistic) or the junk journal scene which involves loads of stickers, pretty papers and butterflies (don't get me started on bloody butterflies). It's made me feel a bit of a misfit not fitting into one camp or another.
Then i found this 😍

Very well explained! A simple and excellent tutorial! And I loved that you used the words “curated” and mindful” for the art journal.
I see people showing “junk” journals that are perfectly made, with expensive decorative papers and stickers and I think they don’t know the meaning of “junk”!
Both your journals are beautiful and great examples of the difference between art and junk journal 🩵🤎💜💙♥️🩷🩶💚💛🧡❤️

Thank you for the tour through your lovely journals. The debate goes on and on about "what i
constitutes a junk journal". I myself make journals and love what you have shared here today. Question...will you go back and add anything to your junk journal or just leave as is?

[isabellebernard]

It's always nice to have a proper explanation on the difference. I tend to think that a junk journal may also be an art journal just by the way you put yours pages together, the way you assemble it is already a form of art....
I'm in love with the color combination of your junk journal cover (ocre/brown and this blue/teal)!

I absolutely LOVE both of these journals! They are both so beautiful! It's amazing to me what one can do with junk. Thank you so much for sharing!

Even your true junk journal is lovely. Many junk journals on YouTube aren’t junk, but are pretty papers. But I must say I enjoy them all. All that matters is what one enjoys making. Great video.

I love that you actually journal in your art journal! I've seen many creators just do individual pages of their art adding a phrase or poem or a few words, but I haven't seen them actually journal in it. I LOVE that you blend the two. It mixes creating with the hands with thoughts from mind and heart. What a delightful keepsake. Thanks ever do much for sharing your ideas on this topic. From Cheryl in AZ.

Thank you for sharing and explaining. Both beautiful in their own, unique way.

New subbie here! I’m a junk journalist who sometimes using them for art journals. 🥰

[myenchantedjournals]

I absolutely love both kinds of journals by the way ❤ I have both or multiples of both a true junk journal or an art journal on the go at the same time.
Each a little different to the next because they’re all unique, right?
Take care everyone and let me know what you think ❤
