Soar

Here is today's art journal page. This fairy princess was created using a variety of mixed media. I also had fun again carving some background stamps with speedy carve.

Wishing you all a creative week! :)

Art Journal Entry

It's been awhile since I played in my art journal.
This page was surely inspired by our visit to the King Tut
exhibition last year at the de Young Museum. The way
everything was displayed was perfect. It really brought me
to another world. So...why so long for the inspiration to kick in?
Well, I was flipping through pages in my journal and saw another
one of those unfinished sketches and I couldn't help myself. I
wanted to experiment with my 3D paints and see if it would
hold well on my pages. It did and the touchable texture it
created is fabulous!

I also wanted an encaustic look without having to warm up
my beeswax, so I added layers of mod podge with a bit of
white paint and went to town with my heat gun. It created
just the primitive look I was going for.

This journal entry is called "Uncaged Heart". I really like
the way it turned out. My art journal is where I enjoy
experimenting and I hope you are inspired to do the same.
Thanks for coming to visit! Have fun with your creativity! :)

Art Journal Entry

I try my best to create in my art journal whenever I can, but time
usually is a big factor on that one. Last night though, I was able
to finally open some pages and have fun.

Sometimes I get inspired with a certain word, a quote,
a song and even a dream. And many times it may all
just depend on how I'm feeling at the moment.

So, what was I thinking when I created this? I'll leave it
up to your imagination.

Creative Blessings,
Lisa :)

It may seem difficult to grasp what you really want.
For others, it may be very easy to reach. Regardless of
the pace it takes for you to get there, the direction you
seek shall unfold and your destiny will reveal its beauty.
Be strong, have faith...

My creative path so far has been filled with many inspiring
forks in the road. It can be very difficult to maintain
a goal when you're not sure where you are heading. Of course,
that's what makes art more exciting for me!

The one thing that has been consistent on this road is the
support and inspiration I feel in this crafty community. I am
very grateful for all the artistic souls I have met here in
cyberspace. If you are like me, you look forward to what the
new year will bring in your creative adventures. And you also
believe in your heart that this unknown direction will only
make you stronger. You are not alone. It's been a blessing to
share this creative path with you.

Our Journey Begins Here...

Art Journal Entry

Hello everyone and a Big Welcome to all my new followers!
Thanks so much for all your happy wishes and comments on
my bloGIVErsary post! I am so excited to have a brand new
year full of new creative adventures.

Here is my first art journal entry for 2010.

Expressing art this way is very fulfilling for me.

Not having a plan and just going with the flow.

Being in my own little creative world and just having fun.

Creating something "just because" will always make my artistic soul happy.

Wishing your inspirations soar artisticly too!

The world she knows is half unseen.

The purple skies make her feel the opposite of blue.

Her window is now wide open.

The direction she seeks is right before her.

The dream becomes reality.

The journey of endless possibilities await.

Here is my latest art journal entry I created yesterday.

It's very easy to get lost in the moment when I play this way.

Listening to music on my ipod and just getting in a zone. My own little creative zone. It's very relaxing and so much fun.

I hope this inspires you to get into your own little creative zone too. Have fun!

I also created another link badge option from this. You are welcome to post it on your blog if you like.

Thanks again so much for all the wonderful support in my art!

Hugs,
Lisa :)

Hello everyone! Here are a couple of journal pages I created.
Title: Hold On

It symbolizes the passion I want to continue to have & keep in my life, which is art. Art has given me the freedom my imagination needs everyday to soar. This is something I don't ever want to lose, so I will always "Hold On". I hope you do the same with all the passions you have in life.

Thank you Janine!

I recently won a sweet giveaway hosted by Janine of http://joinjanine.blogspot.com/. Her giveaway was in celebration of reaching her 50th post among other goodies. She asked to choose a favorite of any of her past works. I chose this piece titled: The Bookshop. Not only is it a lovely painting, it also reminds me of being in the bookshop all the time. I love it Janine! Thanks again!
