Mixed Media Journal: TOO much fun!

I've been having waay too much fun, if that's possible! Working in my mixed media journal and playing with new products.

Strathmore Visual Journal Mixed Media 9x12"

Wing stencil from StencilGirl. And look what's in the upper right hand corner..

So excited, I couldn't even go in the garage to do this! right on the front lawn!

Liquid watercolors in spray bottles from Discount School Supply.





Wing stencil from StencilGirl and my dear Spray Gesso.

And, frankly, why didn't I know about this incredible Polaroid Pogo mobile printer sooner? it prints directly from your digital camera. Like, when you are traveling because it has a chargable battery. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it.The possibilites are endless for journalers!

Check out my teaching schedule and hope to see you in one of my workshops! 

A new Flickr Group

Oh, did you know I have a DVD? or you can download it. Well, I've started a flickr group for those of you who have watched the DVD and are creating watercolors and/or art from your watercolors. I can't wait to see what you're doing!

Prayer Flags #10 & 11

Prayer flag #10: learn and grow

I love love love learning new things. Learning feels good and it makes me grow and stretch.





Prager flag #11: Gratitude.


and frankly gratitude for the work I've done and the life I've lived that is allowing me to teach in France next year! a big Merci Beaucoup!



I make these flags quickly, grabbing a piece of monotprint, tearing, folding and then stitching on while I watch TV in the evenings. My goal is to make 30 flags. I know I'll reach that goal. I just wonder if I'll get all the other things done that I need to! I adore making these flags. Join me at The Prayer Flag Project and post on the flickr group.

Recycled Circles

I'm working on a new Recycled Circles. This one is all cloth, and I'll be teaching this project at the Long Beach International Quilt Festival on July 28. (class #210)



The colors on this one are so me, I may just have to put it on an item of clothing....

NOTE: You heard it here first, they're adding another Recycled Circles class to CREATE in Chicago. It will be Saturday, August 27.

Mixed Media journals etc
