Wreck This Journal

Yes two posts on the same day!

Now that I can find things again in my "studio", I am definately going to start projects again. 

I am kicking it off with "Wreck This Journal"

"For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them). Acclaimed illustrator Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in "destructive" acts-poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, and more-in order to experience the true creative process. Readers discover a new way of art and journal making-and new ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process." (Thanks Amazon)

We shall see how this goes!

Another Etsy Treasury for me!

This time it is one of my fairy pieces - I am the 4Th item!

Another Etsy Treasury Feature!

This is my second one in two weeks! - I am only sorry that I did not save the first one. Having no experience in how this works, I posted a link, but that expired - anywhoooo...... I'm the 9Th item pictured.

I am Swapping Again

There was a time when I belonged to so many art swaps I could barely keep track. Then some crummy things started happening: I would send, never get any thing back, or what I got back was so below standard (yes I have to admit I expected decent work, not necessarily professional quality, but something without ink smudges or hair embedded in the glue - but that's another story!). It got so bad that I just stopped. I caught up on artwork & projects for myself. I gradually returned to my old forums and just recently joined four swaps. I feel better about things and hopefully I won't encounter as much negativity I did in the past. This is where I have been swapping at ATCards.com . & PaperCraftsMagazine.com.
I also joined a blind swap "Halloween Hat" on a site I stumbled on The Speckled Egg . Mine is the second one that I sent to my partner - made out of felted wool & the first one is the one I received in return.
