Art Journal Flip

In this video, I’m sharing a flip-through of my art journal from a time when I was poorly. It’s a glimpse into my creativity before I found quilting, and a reminder of how making art supported me through a difficult chapter of my life.

This journal holds a lot of emotion, experimentation, and honesty. Creating during that time helped me process things when words felt hard to find, and I’m really grateful I still had creativity even when everything else felt heavy.

If you’d like to see more of my older artwork, art journals, or creative projects from before quilting became my main focus, let me know in the comments.

Thank you for being here and for watching.
