Spread Your Wings {art journal}

I am at a crossroads. One road leading back into the safety of the known, the other into a scary new world of the unknown. Looking back I can connect all the dots that led me here, yet it seems sudden and has caught me by surprise. It is totally right for me, I know […]

journal pages

Hello, How’s it going? Any news? I seem to be eating, breathing, sleeping art journaling right now. I have so many fun pages on the go, so many ideas for new ones, and so many ideas for other stuff related to art journaling, that my head is spinning. These are the pages I have managed […]

Summer Lovin’ {art journal}

Summer Lovin’ Hello my lovelies, We booked our summer holiday last week and I was so excited I had to journal it straight away. With family in Sweden and Ireland to go see, we rarely get time away on our own, so this is a big deal. The page was made using water-soluble crayons, acrylics, […]

Wild art: week 1

I know, I know, I keep saying it, but I am having so much fun on the Art of wild abandonment workshop by Junelle and Christy. They are both such inspiring teachers, and the group is fantastic (talented, inspiring, and so supportive of each other). I’m only about half way through the projects from the […]

life is a doodle {art journal}

Hello my lovelies, Happy Friday! Hope you’re all okay, and have something fun planned for the weekend. I’m knee deep in bags of stuff since we’re starting the kids’ bedroom reno this weekend (insert excited squeal here). But I just had to pop in to show you my latest art journal page. I’m so happy […]

Geisha {mixed media}

Look! It’s finished! This is what I have been working on for the last couple of weeks. A geisha! Who knew I had it in me? Not me, that’s for sure! You see, the piece started off as a Valentine’s project! A Valentine’s project I’d thought about for months at that… planned in some detail, gathered stuff […]

Surface Treatment Workshop {a review}

The authors show the readers how to create 45 different textures for mixed media. In addition, they show variations of the same techniques (in less detail), plus examples of their own art […]
