New Blog!!

So here's the thing...
 I generally am not good at following thru with things. I start with the best intentions, go gung-ho, balls to the wall, then... I fizzle out. However, my YouTube channel is different. I started it a year ago and have been going strong posting several videos a week (with a few exceptions) for over a year now. I love my YouTube channel and have met some wonderful amazing people thru it.

When I started thinking about new things I wanted to do on the internet, a blog felt like the natural progression for me. Writing was my first creative love long before I ever started doing art of any kind. Words have always held so much expressive power for me. Why not have a place where my two loves (words & art) can coexist in an exciting way. 

I can't promise that it will always be just words and art. I don't know about any of you, but I get inspired by so many things on a daily basis. My mind goes in a million different directions at any given moment and I want to share that here. 

So here is my blog in all it's humble glory. Here's hoping it will be another great adventure of meeting incredibly inspiring interesting people as I make my way thru realizing my passion for words, art, and mixed media.

Painty hugs,
Jenn

SOOO much socializing...I LOVE your Facebook group, lovely group of ladies. PLEASE do NOT stop publishing your YT videos! (althought I agree with you about the editing UGH!) LOL

"Create Joy" || Mini Junk Journal

I have the first page in my mini junk journal to share today! It is on ledger paper which I made sure to cover with clear gesso so the paper would hold up. it is a very Dina Wakley-esque page, with a splot of Dylusions Ink and some magenta paint. It came together very quickly, which is exactly what I wanted for this 'art everyday' venture. To see exactly how I made it, you can watch the process video at the end of this post. There is also a complete supply list with links to everything I used on this page.
