Here are some of my favorites of the photos I’ve taken with my instax so far.  I know I have more but I can’t find them anywhere, so, once I do, you will see them for sure.  I really like the one on the top right… the dog on the side of the truck just [...]

I’m driving home today so I thought I’d do a QUICK picture post before I go (I’m leaving my computer behind… takin a breeeaak)

(1 2 3 4 5)
I really love that last one.
Hope you all have a good weekend =)

Remember these book covers I made?  Well I have been doing some work on the pages.  I only have one page finished so far (but a lot more in the works) so I thought I’d share a couple pictures of it… hopefully I’ll have more soon (I have this habit where I don’t finish things.  [...]

Just a few pictures of a book I made:
It measures about 4.75 x 3.5 inches, so it’s little and cute, and has 32 pages.  One day when I open my Etsy shop (it’s going to happen, I promise… hopefully soon) I think I might sell something like this.  I love how small it is and [...]

When I first saw this I thought it would be the BEST ROOM EVER.  And then I realized that no, it really wouldn’t, at all.  My stuff would probably always fall in the pool, it would be a huge pain to keep clean, and everything I own would smell like chlorine.  No thanks, but, it [...]

In addition to the visual journal and the silhouette/star technique, we are also teaching the Saturday School class to make these hollowed out altered books.
The idea of an altered book can be a little sensitive, and it was funny when one of the students asked if she could read the book she was given to [...]

Alright party people, it’s skyline tutorial time.  As I promised in my last post, here are the step-by-step instructions for creating this painting.

Okay first of all, here are the things you will need:
Watercolor paper (or any paper thick enough so it won’t rip when wet), watercolors, paint brush, water container with water, black paint, yellow [...]

Two posts in one day?!  It’s a miracle, I know.  This is a quick painting I did because we are going to be teaching it to our Saturday Art School students this Saturday.  It is REALLY easy to do, so I am going to make a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it for you [...]

Last week I was about to start working on the book covers for the sample visual journal I’m making, when my supervising teacher opened the door to the art supply room and showed me her giant collection off all things art/collage related.  And said that I could use whatever I wanted.
oh.my.
I have never really been [...]

Okay so here’s what’s gonna happen: I am blogging every day in February.  EVERYDAY.  (Yeah yeah, I chose the shortest month, so what?)  So get ready to party.
I’m teaching a visual journaling and bookmaking class for the next several weeks, and the picture above is of the sample book I’m working on and I’m going [...]
