Art Journal Peek: White pen on flourescent pink
Paint in florescent pink is must have! Right now I’m experimenting and playing in my hand bound journal, adding pink and purple acrylic paint to watercolor paper pages. Painting is the first layer, then comes the doodle day. I work in stages, short spurts of time. Adding lines and swirls using a white pen, and […]
Kitschy Fabric Christmas Cards
As I was looking through old photos I found this Christmas card I did a few years ago. Now I can’t remember who I sent it to, but I remember not liking it at all, probably because it doesn’t have any pink or glitter… :-) Today as I see it with new eyes I absolutely […]

It’s the Start of a Beautiful Postcard
It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you came from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always. Oprah Winfrey I’ve started cutting postcard sized pieces. I’ve printed me some faux postal stamps and realize they’re a bit big for stamps. Next time I’ll make smaller stamps. Maybe with more empowerment! I’m painting backgrounds, […]
