New Art Pieces in February and March 2011

I have been busy busy for a change! Usually I am just lazy lazy. I have been cutting down on my World of Warcraft time lately (and unfortunately also violin time, I’d like to play more but am feeling hugely unmotivated currently), not really as a conscious choice but I just find I am [...]

Journal Pages and a Thank You

I am working on a blog post listing my 10 favourite art supplies. I need to take some pics to jazz it up a bit and then I’ll post it, hopefully within a couple of days.

In the meantime I wanted to share these two journal pages I did this past week. Although I [...]

I’ll Just Wait Here – Art Journal Video

After many many years (2, pretty much) of not creating any art videos, I finally made one again!

When I moved house (the first time, and the second time as well), I finally got an art desk. I’d wanted this for a long time: a dedicated space to do my art and leave [...]

Art Journalling – A Safe Place

After creating Hetty & Dimitri‘s painting I wanted to do art more regularly, but found doing paintings quite intimidating (especially if they’re just ‘for me’, rather than a present).

Andrew gave me a [...]

Pieces of my Heart (originally posted on Live Journal)

I’ve been productive! My latest three pages under the cut and a video of creating the last one. I tried a bit harder with this video, both with the talking to the camera (eek!) and the ‘editing’.

I’m not 100% happy with any of them (although I couldn’t even really say why.. maybe I [...]

Accordion Page (originally posted on Live Journal)

I am so inhibited when it comes to working in my art journal it’s not even funny, but I managed another page. Inspired by Suzi Blu’s prompt to make accordion pages. Had to get out the boyfriend to set the eyelets as I just can’t muster enough force (I think it’s hilarious “honey.. can [...]
