Art Journaling Craftalong - 2022

Same. Enjoy guys!

Iā€™m bookmarking this so I can try it when I get home!
Love this idea- thx for sharing

Lovely colors!
And since I had to exit quickly, I think I missed the part where we outline the trees, so I have some more drawing to do!
It was great seeing everyoneā€¦. I was hesitant about joining for some reason, but finally told myself I could stop after making one tree (if I didnā€™t like it), and I wound up making a few and enjoying chatting.
@geekgirl , thx for hosting!

And @jemimah , I may do something similar by adding a few small unpainted trees between the ones I already did, if I can make it work ~

@AIMR , I want to use that edging on your top center treeā€” very cool :sunglasses:

I joined once just to chat, didnā€™t paint at all. @Magpie wasnā€™t painting yesterday. We are all friends so no one minds :smiley:

Itā€™s pretty!
Such nice colors and doodles:)
I need to make it a priority this year to finish my doodle class as well as one other I purchased (canā€™t even remember what it was!)

Iā€™ll keep that in mind, and may work on knitting projects in a future zoom! Although it is kinda good for me to stretch my comfort zone by joining yā€™all in painting, etc. :blush:
Happy New Year to all my crafty buddies! :fireworks:

I really did mean to paint but the supplies are simply blocked in by stuff I really dont want to work on tidying up, lol. I better get to it before back to work in early Jan. Iā€™m way more interested in baking though. Who wants to clean when thereā€™s tasty treats to make, & eat!

All I ask is if someone isnā€™t ā€œartingā€ that they not chat over any video instruction. Or talk over anyone wanting/needing to talk about the video/process/art we are creating.

Yesterdays video we left on mute since she didnā€™t really give any instruction but sometimes there is and we just want all the participants to be able to hear the video and ask questions or make comments about the video.

I seem to recall that we used to have a rule that you had to art and share your workā€¦which is why the regular zooms came into playā€¦usually it was when we had larger groups, right?

Some of the videos require attention and speed to get them doneā€¦I canā€™t always chat because I am busy trying to understand and look to see what is going onā€¦yesterday was a nice easy one and was great for chatting inbetween because it was muted.

Sometimes itā€™s hard to bring the conversation back to the project because you donā€™t want to interrupt the conversation. I agree yesterdayā€™s video worked well for general chatting since there wasnā€™t much content. Itā€™s really fun when everyone is working on the same project and seeing all the different versions.

Iā€™d love to see us do more of the general crafting zooms, those are a lot of fun too!

Yes, it was the perfect simple video this time for sure! Lovely seeing you all & chatting. All the painting everybody did is so nice too.

Hope you have a Happy New Year! I also hope that your leg heals and that you will have access to your paints and other supply goodies for a wonderful and productive New Yearā€¦

I also wonder what projects you have in store for us this yearā€¦last year was epic with mushrooms, pink goodies, and positive affirmations!!!

Excited for more art journaling in 2023! And I appreciate this discussion about the Zoom etiquette; I havenā€™t joined as many because I find working to videos isnā€™t really my thing, but this has reassured me thereā€™s maybe room for me to go art rogue.
