Yeah okay, I know it’s not really a 365 calendar challenge if you take several months off halfway through, but life happens. I’m sure Kate doesn’t mind. I’ve got a baby. And sometimes babies trump art! The main thing is, I’m back and rearing to go!  Because this is the best kind of journaling with […]

Show and tell time again! I haven’t done much art journaling the last couple of weeks because there has been so much going on with Kirby teething (still) and Aoife starting school. I think I have about 5 pages near completion, but only one to show today… first day  This page is chock full of […]

It’s been a crazy week around here. Kirby had 3 new teeth. I didn’t think I’d be blogging today today, but saw a late opportunity and took it. I’ll show you the 3 art journal pages I’ve made over the last week. Yes, I have managed to squeeze in some art journaling (5 minutes here, 5 […]

Just a quick peek into my art journal today because I’m looking after a sickly little boy who wants his mama round the clock… “cos journaling rocks” journal cover “baby days” “strong women” “tickled pink” “tickled pink” detail All the backgrounds in my art journal were made using Caran D’ache Neocolor II, with a touch of […]

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 […]

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 […]
