Fabric journal book - a whimsical Mixed Media girl

This is my page spread for this Mixed Media theme, in the Traveling Fabric book.
I hope Ilona likes it! The journal will keep traveling from here to NZ etc... till it gets home in Germany.
I painted and stitched and loved every minute of it ♥

Women's day

I hope everyone is having a beautiful Wednesday, which is also the celebration of Women's day. I have been seeing bunch memes and quotes that I really liked.
"Real queens fix each others crowns"
"We women have to remember to love each other, respect and protect each other and have each other's backs"
Having so much negativity in the world in pretty much every network, I choose to keep a light of positive energy, it is my effort even if it looks small to some. I think it is necessary and I will continue to focus on it. We women are strong but we need our little corner to re-charge our energy. Art is that space for me.

And here is my page for Beth's traveling fabric book, her theme is something Japanese, I hope she likes it!

Her video coming soon!

29 faces in September 01

I am a bit early, but really, I have to! lol  Next week it will be super busy adjusting to the challenge, the first few days are always busy, and then it takes its own rhythm.

For my first day I made this for Gina's traveling journal, and I will be posting the video later on, but it was a lot of fun!!

What are you going to do to challenge yourself?
I usually do very lose paintings, since most of the time I tend to paint tight, and there is nothing wrong with either, but it is good to get out of the comfort zone, to discover new things!

Please remember to use the tags/Labels in your posts! ;o)

I made this girl face for Joy's traveling journal, I hope she likes her!
The book is about 5x7.
Do you like art journals? I always preferred loose paper but my friend Pam gave me a journal and I have been addicted ever since! (Thanks Pam, like I needed another art-addiction LOL) ♥

Twinkling H2O paintings

Free video!
I had fun painting this page in the traveling journal, with the twinkling H2O watercolors... they are so pretty! The colors are beautiful and shimmery ♥
I had a typo at the end, it is "Golden fluids" for the hair, but somehow it only showed "gold" 
so I corrected it ... it is actually Raw Umber.

I'd love it if you leave a comment in the video site !

Traveling journals update

Here is one more Journal, stopping by my house in its travels.
This one is from Ilona in Germany. Serious and pensive, like those photos from the 1800's when people should not smile at the camera.

And this is the page I made for Mary in Canada, the 5x7 journal: A bit quirky and has more texture.

Thanks for visiting!

Another video!

I was just going to paint the page in Manon's book, but decided to tape it as well. I have to say it is one of the fastest videos I ever made, mostly because I am not talking and I did not add a lot of titles.
I think the mermaid turned out cute ♥
