Gypsy Soul- 7 Dots Studio

Hi everyone,

I've created this glittery layout for the 7 Dots Studio blog using their new collections Homegrown and Fortune Teller.

I really enjoyed creating it and I have a video below to show you how. 

I have a video below to show you how I created it Enjoy!!!

I've been in a dreamcatcher mood lately and so a lot of my projects have had this theme. I really wanted to create a dreamcatcher and frame my picture with it. The feathers from the Fortune Teller clear stamp was perfect to create the bottom part of the dreamcatcher.

Just let them flow- Art Journaling

Hi Everyone,

Below is an art journaling page I created on a plane ride during my last teaching trip.

I took my art journal and some markers so I could doodle on the plane.

Before I left, I prepped a few double pages with different colours of  Golden fluid acrylic paints so I could just doodle to my hearts content.

This is the first page I did and I have to say its my favourite. 

I don't usually draw faces, and as you can see its pretty amateur. However I'm so happy with her and how she turned out. She's exactly how I imagined her.

The meaning of this page is regarding thoughts in my heads. I have so many thoughts and ideas and I just want to let them flow out of my head and onto my art.

The outward movement of the hair gives it that flow that I wanted.

Listen to the music of the soul--- Artists Live- Art journaling Show

I loved creating this art journaling page yesterday on the Artists Live Ustream Channel.

Its a highly textured double page spread with a lot of meaning for me.

Below is the video recording of my project. Its a live recording so I do talk with the audience.

Don't want to miss a show, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our Ustream Channel

Here are some more closeups so you can see the textured details:

Art for me is like music. It penetrates deep in my soul and makes my soul sing.

It is so expressive that I feel sometimes it wants to shout so loud.

This Art journaling page expresses what I feel, how loud the art/music shouts out of my heart so it can resonate far and loud.

Dreamcatchers ATC's- with video tutorial

I made these whimsical, tie-dye dreamcatcher ATC's to trade with some people in a group.

The doilies were cut out from an old crochet mantelpiece my grandmother owned. After she passed away, I tool a few of her crochet pieces and have incorporated it in my art over the years. Its a great way to recycle and remember those we love.

I have a video tutorial on how I created them step by step. You can watch below.

Here are some close-ups of each card.
