I am participating with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s Art Journal Every Day. The idea is to get you to do at least 10 minutes of art every day. Of course once I get started I generally keep going. At my house winter brings earlier dinners and long, long evenings. Yes, yes I know it’s been this [...]

Revel in the Moment Journal – Keep an Art Journal
My Revel In the Moment Journal page from January 4. I LOVE this page! It rarely happens that I love a page, but finally here is. It started out with a minor disaster as the vintage sheet music started disintegrating almost immediately. I had to add a layer of gel medium to hold things together. [...]
Organization Week with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer – Keep an Art Journal
Organization Week with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer My studio has been in utter chaos since last October. In October I dismantle much of my art room to take samples etcetera to Art Camp for Women. This year when I got home I dumped everything on my table, did my laundry, and ran off to JournalFest. When [...]
Re-Use, Upcyle, Add Another Layer or Two – Keep an Art Journal
I always carry a Moleskine journal with me when I am out and about. Not the Art Journal type, but the thin papered, writing in kind. I keep a running list of ‘to dos’ and ideas. Yes, yes, I have an iPad and an iPod etc. but I was trained on paper and that is [...]
Happy New Year! Keep an Art Journal for 2012
There are so many, many free or nearly free online art classes that I may have OD’d. Over done it I mean. Here is where I am so far: Kelly Kilmer’s – Revel in the Moment – $25.00 I have already started this class. I made a new journal just for this class using some [...]
Studio Re-vamp 2011|Keep an Art Journal
I am starting a new online art journaling class with Kelly Kilmer called Revel in the Moment. I will make a separate journal for this class. On the way to making my journal I decided to reorganize my studio. Enough climbing over things and reaching around things to find a spray bottle, a drawer of paper [...]
Journaling for Relaxation – Keep an Art Journal
This is the time of year, from December 11 through January 1, that I take time to reflect and assess what’s so up to this point and then create the New Year. This is my quiet time. I thought that in this quiet time I will be quiet and post mostly pictures of what I [...]
Junk Mail Book with Carla Sonheim #3 – Keep an Art Journal
I am really struggling with the drawing portion of the Carla Sonheim Junk Mail Book. I made a cover that has nothing to do with the class, but I thought that maybe I could distract myself and loosen up and relax into the puzzle drawing. Good excuse anyway. I used one of the Artist Cellar [...]
Journalfest 2011 – the extras
Soon I will stop blogging about Journalfest. It has had a lifetime impact on me so I will never stop thinking about it and being someone that comes from having been there. Upon arrival everyone checked in and received a goodie bag along with our room keys and an orientation booklet. In the goodie bag, [...]
