JOy Stuff!! The Art of Noticing. A new online class ðŸŒ¼ðŸ˜€ðŸŒ¿

JOy Stuff-An Online Class with Lynn Whipple

I would love to share with you my favorite ways to celebrate delight in our everyday lives. Working in my JOy Stuff sketchbook has opened up a whole new way to make art, move my hands and soak in appreciation. It has been a wonderful addition to my world and gets me off to an artful, positive and grateful beginning to each day. The best part, other than that it is fun, is the way I feel connected to the things I love!

Come join me and our super supportive, fun-loving online community as we draw, paint, write, make paper with a Gelli Plate and play. 😀 We will collage and create delightful pages and fill them with meaning. And we will extend our gratitude to others by making tiny thank you notes to love letters and more. Let’s create a joy based and portable art studio in our sketchbooks.   Starts October 3rd! Click here for more info! 

With loads of JOy!

Colorful travels this week!!

So happy to be with pals celebrating the Festival International Cervantino this week. We are roaming the inspiring streets of Guanajuato, Mexico together… Drawing, taking photographs, trying all the different flavors and listening to music 🙂 from Authentic Romanian Gypsy music to dozens of Marachi bands and every type street musician you can imagine…. Wonderful!!

Cure for “stuckness”

IMG_2665.JPG

I hope this doesn’t happen to
you, but sometimes, I feel a little cranky. Usually it means I haven’t made anything with my hands for a few days…..the good news is, I have learned there is a quick cure……and it’s really easy….
Simply…. Move Your Hands … Ahhhhhhhhh
Almost instantly I feel better 🙂
And cool stuff happens
And then I have a bit of chocolate to celebrate!
Sending love,
Xoxo
