best job ever!

I have been teaching classes and so I HAVE to create classes, make samples, put together class kits, organize supplies...and, of course, practice techniques...this is a peek at what I will be teaching at the Stamp Art Shoppe in Roseville on Sat. 3/21...

 

Too much fun! I truly am blessed to be able to "work" at what I LOVE!

I am so very thankful...best "job" ever!!!

 

it helps

As I practice "mindfulness" it helps to create a journal page to remind, rehearse, and "handle" whatever it may be that I am processing... 

 

This page consists of a few key words...a simple doodly sketch which I outlined with Tombow markers and then "watercolored" with my water-brush...that's it...enough to remind me to keep my "eyes peeled."   :)

friends

hey friends!  :)

Hope you are having a colorful week-end!

beneath the surface

A little collage happening for the Documented Life Project...

 

 

The prompt for week 5 was "beneath the surface," using the "under-paper" (the paper that you work on top of to protect your desk)...I just love using layers and layers of "stuff"...spray inks, dictionary pages, paint, stencils, scrapbooking paper, stamped tissue...and as I "throw" these pieces together, I think about the layers of our selves, of our lives...how they can be messy (or not), but they work together to make us who we are...that's it...that's just a bit of the "processing" that goes on while I'm "playing" on my pages...nothing heavy...just interesting...

'cause it's what I do

Art journal play...reflecting and rehearsing the Word of the Year (WotY)...because it's what I do...

Be on the look out for His wonder...and know!

greetings

For you...

Hope you're having a good one!

write more!

Lots of "pen play" going on here as I work on developing  more lettering classes...
     (classes for The Stamp Art Shoppe in Roseville, and for Sierra College Community Ed.)

It's tough, but somebody has to do it...teehee...  :)
I absolutely LOVE these Zig markers by Kuretake...seriously! They are like magic...just playing with them, I'm creating some super fun alphabets.  These markers are the Calligraphy, Calligraphy II, and the Journal & Title...fun toys to add to your toybox...just sayin'...
Have a great week-end!  :)
