When I was invited to be a part of Wanderlust 2016…mixed media art journaling with a travel and adventure theme…I was over the moon! I love mixed media art journaling. I love all things travel. I love adventures. I love online workshops. Of course, I said YES!
What is Wanderlust 2016?
An online event
A whole year long journey
Videos from 24 guest teachers and 2 resident teachers. One every week (each one downloadable and with PDF instructions provided), 50 amazing videos, which will run for over 50 hours in total
Access to a forum with an amazing and friendly community, inspirations, challenges, discussions, galleries, workshops, giveaways and generous discounts from our partners
Early registration is now open…and at about $2 a class – it’s an outstanding value! But once early registration ends, the price goes up.
To say I am so honored to be a part of this event is an understatement. I am only 1 of the guest teachers. Who are the others?
Revealed so far are Kate Crane, Teresa McFayden, Rachel Greig, Beckah Krahula, Joanne Sharpe, Flora Bowley, Mystele, Andy Skinner, Finnabair, Birgit Koopsen, Lindsay Weirich and Magda Polakow! So many amazing creative people and there’s still more to be announced!
Follow the teacher’s reveals every day on Everything Arts Social Media. Every day somebody new!
Thank you Jamie and Kasia of Everything Art for bringing all these creative people together for Wanderlust 2016!
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 kind of mark you make too!
I stenciled once, then turned the stencil to do it again creating a totally different feel. The geometric lines and circles on my Solar System stencil was built for just this sort of pattern play.
In the video, you’ll see this all from start to finish and how to line up the stencil the easy way so that it can fill any size you need!
Touches of watercolors randomly in just some of the spaces.
Finishing up by tracing the circles to create a subtle finishing touch to the page. My hands don’t make perfectly round circles, so I used the stencil to do the hard work for me!
This was supposed to be a background…but I am enjoying it too much just as it is so it’s going to stay this way for a while!
Here are the supplies I used. Some of these links are affiliate links which means I get a small percentage. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and you are helping me keep this blog and my videos ad free! Thank you- I don’t like ads any more than you do!
I’m feeling a little silly today…why? Because of a live webinar I’m doing with Northlight! I get to answer your questions – you can ask me anything! Plus, I created 2 exclusive videos just for the webinar.
Now it’s called a live webinar but you don’t have to be there live…you get the recording to download as well as the 2 videos I created to watch when it fits your schedule. Live means I don’t get a do over…it’s all rolling and that means there will probably be an Oops and you know I love a good Oops!
What’s going to be in these videos? A new way I am using a glue stick thanks to…you guessed it…an Oops! Turns out the lid is supposed to go back on the glue stick in a timely manner. Oops! And what an exciting one for me because I actually like my glue stick dry better than wet now! I’m also using ColorBursts with Duralar and there will be stencils too!
Come and join me for some laughter and fun in this live webinar! It’s September 17th at 1pm Eastern. You can find all the details here.
