I am new to mixed media, so it is no surprise :)<br />I see a lot of Junk Journaling, and would agree about monoprinting (gelli prints).

Your list does a great job at summarizing what I have seen. I have gone through so many different cycles in my own art making in the last 40 years. Mixed media, art journaling, seem to be here to stay in my own framework. I have journals full of mark making on both fabric and paper going back at least twenty years. Nothing learned is ever wasted. It all cycles through again. thanks as always for sharing.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742451240232977154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-13273133941564757212017-11-16T07:32:36.278-05:002017-11-16T07:32:36.278-05:00Excellent post.

Collage, stencils and stamping have become great tools for jumping off to expand and enhance my own image-making and journaling within or without a bound structure. The impact of collage has become a way of layering, mark making and texture, all of a piece with drawing my own images. I even incorporated cut portions of coloring pages in some instances! Interesting how techniques can flow together and meld in vibrant ways. Trend? Or tradition?Chris Misernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-35424213070400593202017-11-14T19:13:47.116-05:002017-11-14T19:13:47.116-05:00Great post!

I'll be really interested in what you think is trending for 2018. Since I'm not at any craft shows, I can only judge what is out there by what I see on-line. Thanks for sharing!! One thing I wish would go away is writing a comment here and other places and I have to put in my Google Account. I've only tried a dozen times to set one up and it never works, so I'm "anonymous", AKA, Karenann Young And I don't have a website because No. 1, no one ever visited it and N0. 2, someone hacked into it!

I DO use a lot of acrylic paints, either craft or fluid acrylics.<br /><br />I.m just now starting to use a few stencils, but I don't have the texture pastes most people use to make them stand out. I like your ten (or so) trends and am also surprised gel plates aren't listed, and neither is washi tape.

It’s been my fav medium all year, in traditional pans/tubes as well pencils. A recent addition to my stash is the water brush, filled colour. A great value buy, as once the original medium has been used it can be filled with more colour or plain water. <br /><br />For 2018 I’d like to see more encaustic, which I think is a gorgeous medium, that can be coloured and textured to produce wonderful art. Great medium for stencils too. <br />Hugs DebsxDeborah Wainwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233225034879345417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-87254075978537189432017-11-12T16:22:37.380-05:002017-11-12T16:22:37.380-05:00Great read!

Just like trends in fashion, home decorating come in 20 year cycles, it's interesting to see what people create. I have seen acrylic pouring which reminds me of the mirror cake pouring that is currently popular in the cake decorating realm. Same type of effect, just a different medium.

I'm not a trend-watcher but I would have thought 'gelli plate' (monoprinting) would be on it (is that trend over maybe? I still see it a lot) and in the Netherlands, you can't go into a bookstore/artist store without seeing 'bullet journals' (and yes, travelers journals too) Very interesting to read your list coming from another continent. you have a nice Sunday Seth!
