Art, Heart & Healing: week 3, part 3- empathy monster
November 19, 2010 By 16 Comments
Meet Ziggy. He’s an empathy monster made for week 3 of the free willowing course Art, Heart & Healing. Apart from the zipper, I only used things from my stash, which was great. I love it when I can do that. As I stuffed his body yesterday evening I kept thinking of him as Ziggy. I didn’t think that […]

November 15, 2010 By 5 Comments
No, you haven’t missed anything. I’m a bit behind, so I’m doing week 3 and 4 of Art, Heart & Healing in a topsy turvy manner depending on what supplies I have to hand, or can get hold of first. I was floored by a heavy cold last week and am still weak as dish […]

November 8, 2010 By 12 Comments
Man, I continue to be completely bowled over by the amazing quality of the lessons of Tam’s free e-course Art, Heart & Healing. It’s just fantastic! For the second part of week 2 she taught us the basics of whimsies in an effort to turn around/ bring healing to a bad memory from the past. […]

In week 2 of of Tam’s wonderful e-course Art, Heart & Healing we alter a board book in two parts. The first part involves creating an image transfer of our baby or toddler self and writing positive life wishes for this child self. I loved making this page. I had never made image transfers before and […]

I am having so much fun in the studio right now. This spread was no exception. It was done for week 1 of the wonderful free ecourse Art, Heart & Healing over at Willowing. If you’ve hung around here a while you know I love drawing but haven’t done it in a good while, so it […]
Art Journal: Gold Nuggets
October 18, 2010 By 16 Comments
I treasure the early hour I have to myself before the rest of the family and neighbourhood wake up. It is like a mini-retreat. Quiet calm surrounds me, there’s no pressure to do or be, I can just quietly and peacefully set up the day. I use the time to think, journal, and pray. It focuses my […]
Artistic Mother: week 5 butterfly reminder
October 6, 2010 By 8 Comments
It is so lovely being back in the studio after the summer break. The first project on my mind when I got back was the butterfly reminder from week 5 of the Artistic Mother by Shona Cole, even though I dragged my feet a little towards the end (until Trudy gave me some common sense, […]
Everyday creativity
October 4, 2010 By 17 Comments
I love seeing the surprise and happiness in someone’s eyes when they realise they are creative beings after all. Creativity isn’t limited to a chosen few. We all have creative gifts whether we are aware of them or not. As artists or crafters we often put so much emphasis on studio time that we forget […]
A few journal pages

Yes, that’s right, journal pages!!! It’s been a while, huh?! You may remember this first one from my header back in June. I was going to post about it then, but was afraid I couldn’t show it without giving away I was pregnant. I was so excited I wanted to shout it from the rooftops! […]
