I had a great time talking with Heidi Easley for her free online event, Creating From Your Soul. If you’ve just listened to the interview (and you can watch it here), here’s a link to the free workshop I mentioned. She asked each artist to share a tip or trick so I showed my way [...]
Art Journaling
UPDATE ***This version is now closed to new registrations, but check out the latest version of Permission to Play here.*** Want to create, to play, to be loose and free but not quite sure where to start or how to do it? That’s why I created this free workshop, to help you reawaken your creativity by [...]
It’s that time of year when people I know love to carve up a pumpkin. It probably won’t shock you to know that I’d rather paint a pumpkin than carve it. While they carved, I used paint to create a background on my pumpkin, just like I would if I was creating a background in [...]
I have been relatively quiet of late…lots of very unglamorous behind the scenes things. Things like servers, migrations, and bears oh my! All this has been so that I can make the blog the best experience possible for you! If you’re reading this, you know my attitude about mistakes…OOPS! A mistake is simply an Outstanding [...]
50 things to do. Time to only do 20 and the energy to do 3. Ever have a day like that? It was the kind of day where I hear I can’t a lot in my head thanks to a very unhelpful voice. Hearing I can’t is my signal to me that I need some art [...]

I loved it…then I hated it…my mood toward this art journal page was swinging from one extreme to another with each layer. Wild extremes that happened in a second. I love when this happens because it was such a fun ride my muse took me on today! It started with a layer I loved. I [...]
When I was invited to try out the Groove from Art-C for the blog hop with StencilGirl, I didn’t know what to expect. I must admit I was a bit skeptical and wondered if it was something for me. Turns out, it is exactly the kind of thing I like to use. It’s easy to [...]
Art journaling is all about play for me. No pressure. No demands. Just play. This started with a random background that I actually began during my Stencil Play Workshop. I have bits and pieces of leftovers collaged randomly on the pages. They go together if you are willing to let your imagination stretch… [...]
A stencil is a tool, just like a paint brush is a tool. That is one of the many reasons why I love stencils more and more each time I play with them. How you hold a paintbrush influences the type of mark you make on your paper. How you position your stencil influences the [...]
