I don't recall the first time I saw this style of mixed media assemblage art, but I am pretty sure it was in one of the Stampington and Company publications, which I've loved since way back in my rubber stamping days. What renewed my interest was Finnabair's lesson in Life Book 2014, I've been enchanted … Continue reading WIP – assemblage self portrait

Inspired by the Netflix streaming Bob Ross' painting series. I decided to pull out my Shiva oil sticks and oil pastels and create my own little happy landscape. It's in progress. I'm not so happy with the mountin but I like the foothills and trees. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2m9wNmM

I've made my 2015 planner and done a few of the 2014 challenges. Week 50 is The Ultimate Fantasy Vacation.

I'm still experimenting with Teesha's art journal collage style. This page just kept going. However, I like that I combined collage with text. Also, I am really enjoying my lettering.

After doing the star field background, I had an idea for the journal page. The background was distress stain with Pitt pen journal entry and … Continue reading Just Another Monday
My art classes for this fall are rather ambitious: the last 3 months of Life Book 2014; Mermaid Circus, and Radiant Faces. This post focuses on Mermaid Circus. I see I've posted out of sequence, but that's because I'm jumping around with these classes. This is a "live" class, runs 8 weeks, taught by Jane … Continue reading Mermaid Circus Week 1
Aside stress dreams, my dreams are ... odd. This journal spread sort of captures the random image quality of dreams. This is a page spread I have been working on for a while. It was very busy and not composed. Tonight, I grunged and brought out the parts that I like, downplayed other images. It's … Continue reading My dreams…
Back at the turn of the 21st Century, I got my drawing fix through rubber stamps. For the most part, my cards followed the card trends at the time. Around 2008, I wanted to expand my stamping to something more arty and I wanted to use images more my own. I went through my art … Continue reading Start of Collage
I have one themed journal, which started its life back in my direct sales days. It was an affirmation journal, filled with positive quotes, mostly from my O Magazine reading days, my favorite stamps, quotes, and the like. At the time, I glued my magazine pages down with whatever glue stick was handy. Many of … Continue reading I Hope You Dance
