Art Journal, ATCs and 4 x 4s

Come on in, we'll have a cup of tea, share our favorite art supplies and create in each others journals this afternoon.
A couple of pages of my notes from ArtFest. I was trying to be free with drawing and writing without thought to the look while in my classes this year. I like how they turned out.
I love to use my hands when painting -- and then it's so much fun to make prints of my hands (and photographs) rather than washing all that great colour off. I made a lot of prints of my hands page after page in my art journal and am in the process of filling out the rest of the page with other colours, quotations, journaling and more.
Really enjoying drawing the buddha -- and still painting the mandalas.
And the shrine shape that I draw into bird cages now and then too.

And now, back to the paint!

Finally, an all out art day!

It's been much too long since I've spent more than a few minutes on art.
So, yesterday though there are still to do lists "a mile long" I ventured down into the basement studio to spend hours spilling paint, smooshing it all around with my fingers and hands. pulling out all the media to use pens, oil pastels, paste, stencils (Mary Ann - yes, I used stencils yesterday. Soon, I'll be making some again too).
And today I got a temp job for three days! (So needed)
Sermon today was all about abundance
and
abundance rocked the house today.
Signed up for my first Holiday Show in the new town.

Make new hangtags

New signage for the booth
New frames for new artwork
