I'm Teaching - One BADASS Art Journal 2017

Come and join me!

BADASS Art Journal 2017

I shared some prompts for you to try previously on my blog,  don't worry you can still check them out HERE!

This is my second year as a teacher on the BADASS Art Journal course and I am blessed to be working with another talented group of artists.  Grow with us as you take this course.  I believe that there is always room for growth, and there is never a cut off point, it is a lifelong thing.  I love working with colour and texture, and allowing the stories come out from the page.  Texture allows you to create some interesting effects

In my lesson I will be sharing with you techniques that allow you to play and use surfaces that you wouldn't normally use in your art journal in very different ways!

Sneak Peak of the class!

As you can also see I love creating faces, the characters each telling their own story....

New Art - Art and Creative pursuit

Here is some art that is mostly from my gratitude and celebration journal.  I work in it once a week writing about the things that I am grateful for and create a painting, or something that expresses how I am feeling.  I think that it is important that we regularly to take time and stop to think what things that particular week have impacted on our lives and what we are grateful for.

For the Love of Journals

Inspired by my love of Journals and book binding I created this painting

It shows a young girl being shown her mothers collection of journals and receiving her very first journal

For her to write or paint in and record her own thoughts, adventures, and discoveries

What's New on the scene?

I haven't been as current on my mixed media art blog as I should have been and I have decided to clean up my act.  I love it when I visit a blog and there is new content, but due to circumstances outside of my control which you can read HERE and HERE I had other things on my mind.

It is not to say that I haven't been creative, I have still been at it in the studio, and on my Inspiration, Arts and Creativity blog I have set up a 7 day schedule to cover the following, pop over and take a look at some of the posts:

Material Mondays 

A look at the things that I am making that incorporate fabric and crochet

Tutorial Tuesdays

Step by step guide to creating recycled projects

Memories of Home

I create a mixed media house and share a memory of childhood

In the News

Whats currently happening creatively, product or book reviews

Gratitude's and Celebrations

Journal page and sharing celebrations and gratitudes 

Recycled Projects

What I am making out of recycled materials

Creating in Faith

Sharing faith, creativity and inspiration.

Tomorrow I will be sharing more of my art work that I have been doing, and with that said I am also going to be taking part in Leah Piken Kolidas's  Art every day month for November , It would be great to have you join me in the journey this month ok a week has already passed, but its alright to start where you are.  

Take time to dig deep and create something every day for the month of November, it doesn't have to be anything complex or complicated, but making that effort to create everyday.  I look forward to seeing what you share.

 

also keep an eye out for some of the themes of the sketchbook challenge, this months theme is Moon and Stars, so get to work and I will see you tomorrow!
