'epiphany'

Hello my lovely readers!

If you are still here reading my blog...welcome!

I'm so glad you stopped by....I haven't been creating any pages lately,

as I have had quite a dry spell when it comes to my creativity,

but I recently purchased an online art journaling course, 

and I have promised myself to at least try to keep up with some journaling 

pages as they are quicker and easier to make. 

'epiphany'

The classes I purchased are from Laly Mille, and I love her style.

Her course called  'The Artist and the Journal' 

taught some great techniques about breaking a blank white page -

(yikes! that was so welcome - as I'm sure all of us have felt a small sense of dread while

cracking open a brand new journal), and some cool ways of incorporating paints

into the spreads (using my fingers - it's fun and I highly recommend it).

I also have enjoyed listening to her thoughts about incorporating personal

meaning into the pages, emotions drive us to create art, and exploring 

how to capture a little bit of yourself using papers and mediums is so 

relaxing and rewarding. I created this spread using watercolors, watercolor

pencils, tea stain, a few stamps and some die cuts. 

Here are a few close ups:

The postage stamps are from a package of paper that I ordered from Poland.

I love to collect bits of unusual papers, they can add a lot of character

to your journaling. It can be packaging, vintage book pages (my favorite)

or pages from a magazine, which I haven't yet tried.

Hugs always,

and a Happy Easter!
