Hi ho friends. Life Book Week 6 is a main lesson with Tam. I love Tam and her videos, but there were 2 hours of video and I had to get my household chores done in preparation for Noir City 2018 the following week, so my time was limited. I watched her intro video and … Continue reading Life Book Week 6

Hi ho, friends. Life Book Week 3's teacher was Ivy Newport, a new teacher to Life Book. This was another lesson where I read through the handout and took inspiration from Ivy's art. I was On this page, I'm still trying to integrate a more assemblage style into the week's lesson. I really liked using … Continue reading Life Book Week 3
Hi ho friends, Week 2's Life Book teacher was Andrea Gomoll. She's been a teacher on Life Book before and Ever After. I love how she works with watercolors, deepening the colors further than I thought possible. Her technique requires quite a bit of patience to letting layers dry then adding layer after layer of … Continue reading Life Book Week 2
Hi ho friends. I'm a big fan of the Stampington & Co. publications. Digital Inspirations has been particularly, well, inspirational, but I've been having trouble getting my digital collages to manifest the way I see them in my brain. I recently saw an ad somewhere on the Stampington website about Sebastian Michael's Photoshop Artistry course. … Continue reading Photo Manipulation Class
Hi ho friends. Today's post features one of my oldest art journal pages from Draw Happy, one of the first online art classes I took with Jane Davenport. Actually, it may have been my first online class. Honestly, I don't recall - I've taken so many classes. This glass is one of my first mixed … Continue reading Glamour girl
Hi ho lovlies. I had mixed feelings to take Tamara Laporte's latest live class: Ever After Module 2. I've never been particularly interested in fairy tales, at least the Disney version - where women are weak and need rescuing by a man. But I couldn't resist between the teachers and the deep dive into style development. … Continue reading Ever After WIP
Hi ho, my lovelies. I thought by grouping my LIfe Book posts, I'd discipline myself to post more frequently and cover more artistic ground. Not so much. Ah well, try, try again, right? Today's post is Life Book 2015 Weeks 31-34. Week 31 Hamsa Protection with Rachel Rice Week 32 You are Wise with Tam … Continue reading Weeks 31-34
Week 26. Inner Warrior Princess with Andrea Gomoll. I've been a tad obsessed with creating a Klimt-inspired Pallas Athena since I took Tam's Magical Mythical Makings class. I've sketched a number of variations and tried again when this lesson came up. Klimt's Athena was a bust portrait with her in a helmet. That's a tad … Continue reading Weeks 26-30
I have been a fan of Kelly Rae Roberts' mixed media art for a while. Last week, in honor of her 40th birthday, she offered her Instagram followers a special price for her self-study course, "Hello Soul, Hello Mixed Media." Naturally, I couldn't pass that up. This is a rather long post because I share … Continue reading Trust
Week 18 was 2 bonus lessons; I did the 2nd lesson with Kristin Van Valkenburgh. I used fiber paste, stencils, acrylics, Dina Wakely scribble bird stamp, washi tape, Shiva oil pastels, collage, and more. It's a many layer piece that the photo doesn't do justice to. Week 19 was with Jessica Swift. This was a … Continue reading Life Book Weeks 18-21
