Here is where I ended week one of the Strathmore workshop with Traci Bautista. Traci made two videos for week one and I spent most of the week re-organizing my space to get a computer in my art room. I figure I could doodle for another movie or two on this but doubt I will. [...]

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 [...]
Hankie Havoc Chapter 2 – Keep an Art Journal
I started fooling around with decorating some handkerchiefs last September, when Melanie Testa issued a Hankie Havoc challenge. I loved the idea, but have no skills in the fabric dying arena. I fussed with just trying to dye some cotton hankies for color, but that was not satisfying. I then found some Pentel Dye Sticks [...]
Junk Mail with Carla Sonheim – Keep an Art Journal
I am taking a 5-day online class with Carla Sonheim called Junk Mail Book. I am a day and a half behind already. I thought I had everything lined up, saved junk mail, gathered supplies, cleaned up studio, re-thought my schedule…ah well. I won’t go through step-by-step but here is what I have learned in [...]
Journalfest 2011 – My Miraculous Vacation – Keep an Art Journal
It’s a miracle – I got to go to Journalfest 2011! Sometimes miracles feel like a lot of work, but in the end a miracle is a miracle and who is gonna say no to that? Getting to Journalfest was a major part of the experience! I left Denver in a heavy snowstorm, getting de-iced [...]
Happy Halloween – New Toys from The ArtistCellar! – Keep an Art Journal
My friend Lisa has an online store called The ArtistCellar. She carries the cool stuff that you can’t find just anywhere. AND I love to shop with the small personal stores. Lisa just added new stencils from The Crafter’s Workshop this fall and I waited eagerly for them to arrive. Well of course they came [...]
