Paperclayjunkie is the original name of Jennibellie's shop, which doesn't really make that much sense anymore, but as I'm fond of the name it has kind of stuck =)

Here you'll find all sorts of fun art things; though most are mainly related to journal keeping, and to art journaling more specifically. I reopened paperclayjunkie with the idea to make it a happy stop for art journalers and creatives, and am having fun striving to come up with innovative new things that will make it so all the time.

If you want to see how I create things in my own journals then stop by my blog (links right) or youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/jennibellie) where I create tutorials on everything from creating journals to art journaling, eco-friendly creativity and making homemade craft supplies, to name but a few.

Also take a workshop with me (I currently have a COMPLETELY FREE art journaling/journal making one open to everyone) at http://journalworkshops.ning.com - click the 'Website' button below to take you straight there!

History of Paperclayjunkie!

June 2009
I opened Paperclayjunkie on 13th June, not a clue what I was doing or what I was wanting to sell but the thrill of the first few sales eeee-weeee such fun!

**************

August 2010
I re-opened the shop with JOURNALS in mind. My hands was singing to the tune in my head, and they were both shouting JOURNALS, JOURNALS, JOURNALS at the top of their voices. I made all kinds of journals, mainly experimenting in making every one individual and most not for sale. I probably did not make a penny off of any I did sell but I loved every minute.

October 2011
I was still making Journals but now I had discovered Zines also & was making and selling these using the most primitive scanners & printers imaginable. It took 2 of us several days to bind just a few for sale, so silly but again so fun.

Feb 2013
I reopened the shop after a break being prompted into action by my old faithful camera breaking and my loyal 'Belliettes' (fans/followers given the re-name as people who hold strong to the values of innate creativity....also given the name as I wiggle weirdly if I have to say have 'fans/followers') wanting to help me purchase a new one. I didn't like the idea of charity so I re-opened Paperclayjunkie with only a few collage sheets, so that those who wanted to help could purchase something arty and boy did they come to the rescue, I had a new camera within couple hours!

Paperclayjunkie now seems such a silly name for this shop, but it's what people know my shop as, it's on all my videos and packaging and I'm too lazy to change it. Plus I like that it's identity has evolved, like me, like you, everything must change and grow and this time I finally came back *serious* (well...kinda). I now view this shop as a means to help assist my artsy practices and also as a joyful way for getting my goodies & messages out there. The items may be a lot more polished but they are still made with the hands, and where it counts; the heart.
