I have a new obsession...pour painting! I'm sure in the future I'll break down exactly what I'm doing for you, but in the meanwhile here's a video of the first one I did. So fun!!
Also, since there was a wee bit of paint left over in my pour cup, I poured it out onto some tags and then swipped over the top of it with my pallet knife to spread it and have some paint cells pop through.
It's so exciting to see my book making it's way to your homes. Thank you everyone that has posted, texted, and called me about it, I appreciate your support! My prayer is that this book will draw you closer to the Lord and break down any of those "I'm just not creative" ideas rolling around in a lot of our heads. (If you haven't got a copy yet you can pick one up here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2tNDDp0, Barnes and Nobel and other retailers.)
Earlier in May I had the pleasure of filming some videos for Scrapbook.com featuring wonderful Faber-Castell products. It was really fun to spend time with all the people there and see the warehouse chocked full of yummy products!
Here's the video we created:
And here's the Facebook Live recording that shows just how versatile the products are:

Well, I cracked open the next month's mini art journal and got finished the first week and put together a quick flip through of it...including my trip to LACMA and a painting of my kitty.

For 2017 I decided to try something a bit different for myself and work in smaller art journals every day. I did this so that I would get back in the habit of art journaling daily, which I got out of doing at the end of last year because I got so busy with work. By having it small (3.5" x 5.5") it's not too hard to squeeze something onto the page each day. Now of course some days I could actually complete the page, other days I barely got something on, but the the point of creating a habit was a great one.
Here's a bit more about the art journals I'm using and what I did in February:
Now I know you want to see more about the little journals I used. They are these Moleskine ones and they come in a set of 12, plus the box that keeps them all together...well, until I add my art to them and make them too big to stuff into the box!
