MIXED MEDIA JOURNALLING

CANVAS CREATING AND - 
AN IMPORTANT INTRODUCTION TO SOME CHANGES...

I am having the greatest time getting messy!

I've posted a few mixed media pics already, but it is a JOY to get back to the Bohemian Art Samara.  I am taking a few courses on-line, with Balzer Designs, Whimsical Art Journals and Art Journalista and loving them.  It is reminding me just how much I love my natural inclination to art and creativity being so "out of the box" and so "me" - which really means absolutely no idea what I am doing until it is done *note - see below lol.

So here is a glimpe of the type of work I am creating.  I've done many journal pages, made different types of journals from scratch - from journal binding to transforming books, magazines and old children's books to journals to purchasing (ugh) materials which are some of the most exciting mediums I've used in ages!

These are the mediums I used in University, but haven't touched since.  Most of my Boheme art has been with Paper and Card/Scrapping Papers and Embellies/Accessories, so this is a real switcherooni.  I'm going to start to post the work on my blog - a new look and a new title.

From "IF THESE CARDS COULD TALK" into a new "IF THESE COLORS COULD TALK"  and then the second line that follows changed in order to represent what it all feels like inside of me.
I am so blessed for a transformation in my life...some really painful and difficult things are happening in my life at present - I am deeply in Grief regarding a Parent.  This shake up has enabled me to make some other changes that are really positive necessary and have been waiting for me to have the courage to make.  Getting out of the rut of my art style was one of the changes I felt has been coming for a while.  I'd like to share these changes with you. 

Fun!

I've started showing you the mixed media pieces with a Canvas piece.  I hope you can get used to the change. 

The rule of mixed media is: There are no rules!  However:
EVEN if you don't like it (which I really LOVE this piece) it is STILL to stay in the journal, not to be heavily judged and is from the soul.)  It is a wonderful representation, metaphor, analogy - all 3 -  of living life - day to day - and not censoring it, knowing that MIXED MEDIA ART JOURNALLING is for the Self!
