It has dawned on me that some of you reading this blog

might not know what art journaling is.
Please allow me to explain...

Art journaling is a way of keeping a journal 

in which you use a mix of art and words 

to express yourself, to practice drawing or art techniques,

 or to document your life, thoughts or discoveries.

{Art journals have been around for a very long time. 

A quick google search of "Leonardo da Vinci art journal" 

will prove that.}

In my recent workshop, 

I created a couple of pages that had words

which could be used in an art journal.

They were included in the welcome packets I gave them:

 Today, I thought I would share them, 
and make them available as a download here 
for you to use in your own journal.
{Please keep these for personal use only.}

Enjoy!

art journaling workshop

What a wonderful Saturday morning I had!

This past Saturday I ran an art journaling workshop 

at the Bluesfest School of Music and Art (BSOMA).

I went into the morning with such excitement,

which was equalled by they enthusiasm 

of the wonderful people who registered.

We had full registration 

{with some others who also wanted to join in!}

Here's a peak at the morning, tables set up and ready to go:

I created a little packet for each person. With only two hours, I was definitely pressed for time, but I wanted to introduce some colour theory, along with a quick talk about the many different ways to keep an art journal.

I based the class around some of my art journal pages,
 teaching the techniques I used here:

And then the wonderful process of creating began. 

A few of the folks had art journaled before, 

but for most this was the beginning of a beautiful journey for them.

The ladies {and one man} were so open, friendly and engaged. 

They were truly a pleasure to teach.

 I absolutely loved teaching this class and had such wonderful feedback, 
with requests for more, and longer workshops.
{Do you guys know how humbled and excited I am about that??}

I am working with BSOMA to create series of classes, so stay tuned!

Hey Friends! 

I'm excited and ready for my art journaling workshop tomorrow. 

I heard last week that it is sold out! 

Yes, sold out!! Wow, I'm blown away. 

Thank you to those who love, support and keep believing in me. 

You are a gift in my life. 

Here's a peak at the cute {and info-packed} little packages I'll be giving out. 

I am hoping to bless the sweet folks who have signed up,

and send them home inspired with a new passion,

and some skills to fuel it!

I plan on posting some pictures from it, so stay tuned.
