Art Journaling...











When I'm stumped for inspiration to create pieces, I like to doodle in my art journal. The entries aren't fancy by any means, but they represent what I feel at the moment I write them. Some are mixed media, some are just outpourings, and some plain silly! It's a very personal way to show what you're thinking or feeling, sometimes more honest than the regular "art" I produce as that seems to travel along the same track pretty much, though I hope that I keep developing!

Got a bit of creativity in this last week...







Ye friends,






I'm happy to announce that I finally got some creativity going again. Made some of my mosaic boxes, and these ones are small, about 3" x 3." They are cute that size. I've been doing a lot of other stuff-- painting furniture for one, but I consider that more of a job than a creative outlet. I'm also into art journaling but I don't like any of my entries... But it's fun to start without a plan and see where it leads. Will post some pictures of those soon.
xoxo

Been gone too long...

I'm back! Not that I intended on taking a hiatus, but we moved our shop Easy Street Home Decor to a new location. It's pure HELL to move a shop if you didn't know that... Anyway, I haven't had much time to post or create art. I also have to change the info in the store's website and the pictures, which is time consuming.

But check this out: My art is featured on this cool blog, hotbellymama. Isn't the Internet great!?

Cheerio, will be back soon...
