Free journaling class starts March 16

Yes, I think I tried this last year. I like her art style but not so much her teaching style.

There’s a free card maker summit running March 20-23. I don’t make a ton of cards, but find many of the techniques translate well into mixed media.

I haven’t played in my art journal in a while.
Did this moody piece yesterday

Ugh…that class I signed up for did not start off good at all…just went on the FB page where everyone was introducing themselves and the first post I read was already a war zone because the person introduced herself as living in “the shameful USA”…the comments were nasty, I left…I really hate FB, so I am just going to do the videos after the fact…

Was it this one?

I think it was that one

I got mine! (Copic pen). It’s an odd orange color lol

Am I using scraps to create? Yes I am.

Am I making more scraps? That also. It’s a never-ending struggle.

Faux postage and altered tickets.

Use your scraps!

I love all this scrappy goodness!

Today’s play piece very loosely inspired by this video

I was also pleasantly surprised by how well this sketchbook took the paint without any surface prep.

Thank you! I’ve been so in my head about my art recently (always), it was good to have a loose structure of the limited palette then just play around with it. I definitely need to incorporate more playing into my art practice.

I loved that video! Looks like fun to see how many colors you can make and then make a piece of art! I guess that is what I was sort of looking to use the colorbox prompt for. I haven’t purchased it yet because I have been using Pinterest to find color combos I like.

Your piece is very nice…a lot less “formal” than your other pieces. Looks like you had fun playing!

The playing is contagious! I messed around a little in my art journal this evening.

The colors are a little better here even though the doodling gets lost a bit.
