Art Nouveau

If you haven't taken one of Suzi Blu's classes...
go sign up!!! NOW!!!

I went from drawing a stick figure to painting the pretty girl you see to your left thanks to her.

No...I've never met Suzi and she has no idea who I am (other than my class attendance), or that I adore her....it's just between us!

I Worship Teesha Moore

OK...how wonderful is Teesha Moore? Sooooo wonderful!  Not only does she provide us with the most amazing retreats ....but she gives us art tutorials for FREE!!!!

So here is one of my Teesha Moore inspired journal pages.  I sooo wasn't getting art journaling until I watched her videos on youtube.

Thanks, Teesha!!!!

Gothic Lite

Ever since I moved into my 90 + year old gothic style home I've become obsessed by the beauty of the style.  The house even has a  gargoyle over the fireplace! But I don't like the creepy darkness of it.  Thankfully, my gargoyle is reading a book and is surrounded by yellow tile.  I made this little bud vase from vintage wallpaper, costume jewelry, sheet music, and bottle.

More Musings

The prompt for this week was to journal about our childhood loves. I think mine were typical, reading, my bike (loooved it), dolls, and my dog, Misty.

Musings Journal

I'm taking the Nostalgic Musings journal class and having tons of fun! Here is our first assignment half way done. I'll add journaling to the left side and to the back of the fold over lady on the right. Most are doing lists to the left page....but because of the gaze of the lady, I see this as an opportunity for the grown-up me to tell the little me a few things!

Journal Fest!

It's here!
I've got all my fingers crossed to get Ingrid Dijkers "Through The Rabbit Hole" class!

Quick Journal Page

I've been super busy at work (7 days a week-16 hours per day), but needed a little play time so I threw this together at 2 AM! I suffered today at work...but it was worth it for my state of mind!
