Novel Approach is the online workshop I am taking with Tammy Garcia. Thank goodness it is work-at-your-own-pace! I have had a busy past few weeks with my 59th birthday, Steve's 60th birthday, friends visiting from out of town and staying with us . . .
Read MoreI am continuing with Tammy Garcia's online course called Novel Approach -slow but sure, at my own pace. I really like that! It has taken some getting used to at first, not being in the same place as everyone in the course, but you know what? I think it's good . . .

Read MoreAhh, it feels good to dive in! Today I was able to start prepping the 2 books I had chosen for Tammy Garcia's Novel Approach online course. This course is about art journaling and acrylic paint techniques done in a hardback book, altering it. I love it! . . .
Read MoreI wanted to try some paints I'd heard about that would be good to use with the gelli plate, because they were a bit slower to dry than regular acrylic paints. But before I started playing with my Gelli Plate with them, I tried them out in my very small moleskine journal. The new paints I ordered are Golden High Flow Acrylics . . .

Read More-In my moleskine journal. It won't be long before it is filled up!
Read MoreAfter a couple of weeks of not working in my journal, I got started with a page of leaf prints I made on deli paper last week. I really wanted to add some of these prints to my small moleskine journal, sized 3.5" x 5.5". It is really quite small . . . .
Read MoreMore happy pages from my moleskine journal . . . the small size: 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" makes it so easy!! The new pages start with something wonderful, a collaborative effort with a special friend. His name is Sam Wade Sears, or "Red" as we call him; a real renaissance man. He has had so many experiences and amazing stories to tell!
Read MoreI find myself returning to my small moleskine journal, again & again, page after page! The 3.5" x 5.5" size means it does not take a lot of time to complete a spread and it is fun to do.
