Seed to Flower: Trusting the Process of Transformation

Plant your story, trust the process, and watch meaning bloom across your art journal pages.

Find freedom in the process of layering different media to create an art journal spread that celebrates transformation. When we create in layers, we approach each step in the process with curiosity, playfulness, and wonder. The next step might be one of covering up what we just put down, letting go of this in order to transform the pages into something new. We’ll create our own collage material, and then layer collage, paints, mark making, and fluid media for a rich and beautiful background. Then we’ll add focal imagery and final details to complete the spread.

We can experience, and find joy in, the transformation we witness in our art journals. Then we realize, we can trust the process in those pages, so why not in our lives?

Sarah Gardner

Sarah Gardner, also known as Juicy*S of Juicy*S Art, is a self-taught mixed media artist and teacher. She’s been teaching online since 2020, starting with Everything Art’s Wanderlust. She’s also been a teacher for Willa Workshops, Get Messy, Create Arts Online, One Badass Art Journal, and has her own Teachable learning platform: Juicy*S Mixed Media Art School. She’s been published in Strawberry Moon Magazine, featured in Kasia Avery’s “Creative Wanderlust,” and is the author of “Share Your Joy: Mixed Media Shareable Art.” Creativity is self-care for Sarah because playing with her art supplies in a curious and intuitive way allows her to banish her perfectionistic inner critic, and connect with her truest self. She has come to learn that it is this process, not the perfect end result, that brings her joy. A new art journaling course: “Layer ’til You Like it,” will launch soon in Sarah’s Teachable School.
