Obstacles pop up at times. Some days more than others. Check out my guest post over at Create Mixed Media to find out what obstacles showed up and how I worked around them!
Step by step
My battle for white space continues. I love the look of white space but color is my addiction. This was a knock down drag out fight between color and white space. Round One Goes to Color It isn’t glamorous but it is a place loaded with color to start! This [...]
Although I can’t hop on a plane to travel right now, I can take a trip in my art journal! My muse is my travel agent and she’s booked me to Venice for this trip. Below is the progression of my art journal page as I played with the newly released, Venetian Large 9×12 stencil [...]
