I finished the daily drawing challenge today! Yay for me!

It was really fun and helped me to

love the imperfections.

daily drawings

I've been doing Lisa Congden's daily drawing challenge

on Creativebug. Each day she shares

a different thing to draw. It's fun seeing how she

draws them and then trying

to make my own.

This is the first half of the month. I can't wait

to draw and share the next half.



taking classes

 

Online classes are a good way to learn new techniques, learn how to use different mediums, and get your creativity flowing again.  I have been

joining in some classes in drawing and painting on Creative Bug and plan to start a more soon.

These pictures are of my completed works.

art journaling

 

 

     I've spent most of the summer art journaling. I started a few paintings but haven't gotten back to

     to finish them.  The first half I was into an e-course by Alisa Burkes. Then I joined Creativebug

     and have been enjoying  a class by Pam Garrison.  I've learned new techniques from both classes

     that I hope to put to use in my own work.

 

     The following photos are my art journal pages done in ink, marker, watercolor, acrylics, crayon,

     really whatever I had on hand.

 

 

 

 

     





my whispers journal

     I haven't posted here in a while but that doesn't mean I haven't been working. I found 

   Kelly Rae Roberts book ,Taking Flight, years ago. It's a wonderful book full of inspiration

   and new techniques. I picked it up again to read and decided I would try every project.

   This is the first one... creating a whispers art journal using hardback book covers as a

   canvas.

 

        This is the front cover...

       Inside pages...

                                                                                                 and the back cover...

        

         The next part is a technique from artist DJ Pettit for painting on fabric. I decided to make

       a banner to hang on my window. 

 

                                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 

 

 

       So that's what I'm working on now...oh plus my winter ripple blanket that is. I also need to

      put holes in my journal and tie it together with the black velvet ribbon I bought, but I'm

      having a hard time finding the cutting tool I need.  I'll keep trying and post a picture of it

      when it's all done.
