Hand-Dyed Fabrics with Amazing Color and Visual Texture

Fresh Inspiration
This week I'm continuing my year-long journey of making daily art and the theme this month is inspired by nature. For the last 52 days I've spent about 15 minutes every day making art. It sounds like a marathon effort, but in reality I now really look forward to this...

Beginnings, endings and fresh inspiration
Yesterday ended a full 31 days of daily journaling, one page per day. I allowed myself 15 minutes per day and some days it took a little less time, some days it took a little more time so it all worked out in the end. I've already begun to assemble the pages into a...
The Moments In-Between
This week's art journal pages went together quickly as I didn't have much time to spare. I was thankful that the backing pages were already printed and just waiting to be used. It made the process so easy but still so creative. I added some distress ink to the pages...
3-2-1 Printable Gratitude & Creativity Tracking Journal Kit

Small Interesting Things
This week I continue my journey of making art every day. I've never been much for counting the days and wishing for time to pass quickly, however after several weeks of making art every day, I've already become more mindful of how fleeting time really is. I'm not sure...
