before writing...

...i thought i'd share a few journal pages. 2 are from pam carriker's workshop at strathmoreartist.com. check them out: at the moment there are 3 free workshops that are ongoing, meaning you can jump in at any time and work at your own pace. i believe they'll be available til august.
the other page (genuine standard) is based on crowabout's weekly collage play challenge wherein you develop a piece of art using supplied images.

i'm really getting into art journaling...something i've wanted to do for quite some time. i have 3 journals going. i think one of the things i really enjoy is that you can keep going back to pages and adding more stuff. in a way, they're never done unless you want them to be.

these are all pages in my 9x9 journal. i have a lot more pages started. can't wait to see how they all develop. :)

I'd like to give the world....

If you could give the world something about yourself, what would it be?
I found this journal prompt at journalingprompts.com.
5x7 mixed-media collage journal page featuring a teesha moore image.

what do you believe?

the latest journal prompt from roc: what do you believe? well i could probably easily fill a book in response to that, but i limited myself to this 5x7 mixed-media journal page that features images from teesha moore.
i'm so proud to get roc's prompt done early in the month. maybe i can even do a few more pages this month. that'd make me happy!

finally!

I just haven't been able to carve out a lot of art time lately, but I'm diligently trying to restructure my life so that it can become a part of my every day. But I did get these 2 journal pages done this month.
I wasn't happy with the quality of the paper in my previous journal, so I started over. So I re-did my blue page (what color makes you happy?) and i also did the feb page for my good friend roc's monthly challenge/prompt: what do you love?

what color makes you happy?

ok, the goal was to create about 5 journal pages a week. here it is jan 25th, and i've created a grand total of one page this month! oh well.
anyway, the prompt is what color makes you happy?
for me it's always been blue. what about you?

Giclees in my Etsy

I have reopened my online etsy store, and I have these 2 Giclee prints available.
This artwork has been prepared as a high-resolution digital Giclee (ghee-clay) print used for fine art categories. Giclee prints are produced on specialized inkjet prints, wherein the print is literally sprayed onto the paper in thousands of minute droplets per inch creating images that rival the appearance of continuous tone photographs.
This print has been specially formulated to assure fidelity and longevity, featuring the use of quality archival inks on high-quality 100% cotton archival paper. Treated with the care and respect due any work of art, this print is expected to retain its rich color in excess of one hundred years.

Happy New Year!

Starting off the blog this year with words, no images. But I wanted to wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
I'm not a resolution sort of girl, but I have determined to live artfully in 2011. What about you?
