Art Journal page - Ho Ho Ho

Just really my first sort of finished journal page. Its real funny but, as Im not real xmasy, so god knows how I got the images and it all came together as a xmasy sort of page. Maybe somenes telling me something,lol
I know its not out of this world but Its a start
A lot of credit goes to Christy Sobolewski for the constant inspiration.

Transfer Workshop with My Creative Classroom

This was my first Gel medium Transfer and it worked absolutely beautifully. I cant say much for the colours and the rest of it but I am learning. The Derivan Gel Medium was the one I used and it was great. Catherine Scanlon was the teacher and she is such a lovely person. Very kind and extremely helpful. I do have to work on the other lessons still as Im in a lot of pain at the moment

Canvas- She Art style

This was the first canvas Ive ever done. A friend of mine, Sarah from Gumnuts cards and craft, and I played at her shop one day. Id always wanted to learn how to do a canvas project so she showed me how. WOO HOO!!
I added my cat, Dawson, who started my scrapping & Art journey (who is still deeply missed). I really Like this.
Ive also just joined 2 months ago the She Art and She Art 2 classes by Christy Thomlinson and have learnt heaps more there.
Ive just also joined Willowing.org which is an awesome site and Tam (the owner) also has some excellent free classes but Id also like to do the Life Book course which is a year long mixed media journey. Last night I joined artjournaling.ning.com and I cant wait to get in and have a look tonight. I also joined flutterbye.ning.com and am going to have a look tonight too
Ive been playing with Art Geeks Prompt 1 and 2 and 1 didn't work out too good but by going over it with white paint the mists that didn't cover the dark paper still show through the paint and I'm quite liking it but i still got to finish it and Ill show the before and afters,lol.

Art Journals, Mixed Media & Stuff I'm Getting Into

Well, It's been ages since I've actually posted but I've just joined Art Geeks & well, they wanted a blog - we have to share somehow don't we. I've been trying to learn about Mixed Media alot lately & absolutely love how you can jump from page to page without having to complete something til you re ready with the Art Journals. That makes it VERY freeing. I'm trying to learn as much as i can about Mixed Media & Art Journals & am looking at tons of blogs for inspiration. The most inspiring ones and my fav's so far that I've found so far are Gulfsprite (aka Christy Sobolewski), who also has a private group called Art Geeks where you get monthly prompts for your Art Journals. I absolutely Love her work and she is a very talented lady who shares so much of her knowledge with excellent videos. I also love Donna Downey's blog - Simply Me and Christy Thomlinson's blog - Creatively Inspired to name just a few.
Id better come back later & update the whole blog as everything is a couple of years old - links & all the other stuff & if i get a chance I'll put some pics up of some stuff I've done over the period I've been off the blog
I'll also update some stuff I've been working on lately when I get a chance to take some pics in some half decent light.
Thanks for dropping by
