WCW: Micro Art Journaling with Mini Traveler's Notebook

Deskshot 01082018

The state of my desk this morning - after finishing day 1 of the new challenge I am taking part in, which is #30dayswithminiTN hosted by Cafe Analog and Akay Writes on Instagram :) There is a list of prompts which you may or may not use. It just really tickled me to practice my watercoloring routine on a very small scale. The size of the 10th anniversary traveler's notebook mini journal is under 1 inch, 4,6x3.7cm . So you see here one of the Tins that I kept with Watercolors, I am using now for this challenge. The watercolor dots by Daniel Smith are just fantastic to use for this project! Everything fits in a pocket or a small purse so I'll be going on field trips with this as well :) 



 I also made the water color notebook inserts myself. Crazy, right? But super fun and I'm so curious to see where this challenge will take me artistically :)

I've shared the fist page on my instagram
Day one mini TN journal

And the tutorial of the spread you can see below



My goal is to keep posting these mini daily watercolor tutorials/process videos on my Facebook page for 30 days of august... and if this inspired you to join the challenge, please do join in the fun :) 

Sharing the desk shot over at my friends at WOYWW478 (Julia's awesome blog) this week. And let me know what you think of this whole concept of micro journaling :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome day!

    Adorable little mini-books! Such intricate art work on a very small scale. They are charming. Your desk looks so organised, bright and colourful. Thank you for your visit and I'm glad you enjoyed seeing my vintage music pages. As for the kitties, as they have grown up they certainly haven't lost any of their cuteness which continues to be off the scale! My hubby and I adore them to bits!!

    Happy WOYWW,

    Did you mean cm, rather than mm? I hope so, otherwise my thumb is HUGE (which I used for scale).
