Inchie swap! Oh! LOVED making these!



These are called, Souls Asleep.

I had such a good time creating these journal pages for my journal group. It is so freeing to sit down and create whatever comes to mind.

Here is my latest pages from Roses On My Table Journal Journey Group:





The Latest News on Roses:

Oh! I am so, so, so excited! I've been developing new projects for a whole new set of mixed media art classes. I could just bust! It seems that even as I've been busy over the summer with lot's of activities, my muse didn't leave or rest. I am bursting with new ideas and have already started on my first new projects! I hope to have a new mixed media bottle art workshop, and a brand new tile workshop very soon. So, I hope all my friends will stayed tuned. I have to do it right, so I will post dates as soon as the video production is completed.

You know what I like? Everything that is unique and different. Sometimes I will walk around a flea market, circling the busy crowds, spying inside one little booth, perusing the tables and blanketed grounds, searching eagerly for something, well, something different!



Just because I am getting older doesn't mean that I still don't want the world to hold wonder and awe for me. I am very selfish about that. I need to be wowed! When I was a child I remember going to the fair. Someone had one of those dog leashes that appears to be leading an invisible dog. The leash was there, extending out alongside the owner, but the dog really was invisible. I didn't think that there was no dog. Heavens no! There was a dog there alright, I just couldn't see him. That was a wonderful moment! It was a horrible moment when I later saw a big bucket of those leashes for sale beside the arcade games.





I really like to recreate those magical moments in my mind, especially when I am out and about the marketplace. I want the "elixir" the "snake oil salesman." The "flimflam gimmick. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't want to really be fooled, but I want to wonder what if there really was magic? What if there really was an invisible dog on the end of that leash? Is it just me, or is fun to believe in things we know can't be real? Even if is just for a moment! After all, what if Jack didn't buy those magical beans? Would there have been a golden goose? lol* I hope I never fully grow up. It is far more fun to imagine the unimaginable.

Another bottle creation! I planning to create a new bottle art workshop the end of this year. The first one was so amazing, and I enjoy it so much.


My New Pages from my Journal Journey. I keep working towards journaling without thinking to much before I begin. It is more fun for me to be spontaneous in my art journal. I notice that when I have a preconceived idea of where I am going, I am less inclined to try new things or take risks. Getting past that hurdle is like hitting home run.


These pages pick up from a set a did awhile back when I first created the windows. I knew I'd come back to do the other pages.
