What would the Journal Fodder Junkies be without the fodder - the ephemera - the collage materials? We collect so much stuff in our day-to-day lives, and much of this stuff sits around the house and the studio waiting to be used. So let’s use it today, but let’s find some things that we can glue straight away into the journal - no cutting, no tearing, no altering. Just spread some glue on the back and stick it in. Glue stick is great if used it effectively. Try not to fuss with messy adhesives like acrylic medium or other glues that take a long time to use or dry. We use UHU glue stick.

I am really appreciating this challenge. I tend to get overwhelmed when I start working on an art journal -- themes, ideas, meaning and all -- and I just like to play with color and pattern. So 15 minutes, a straightforward prompt? I think I can do this!
Sabrina, I am so glad that you want to be a part of this experiment. For me the journal is a place to play - to experiment - to pass time. It is also a place to explore meaning, ideas, and themes, but those things often come from the play, the experimenting, and the doodling. The meaning often develops out of the work.
