Imperfection

What started out as this

ended up being this

With all of her imperfections

art and creativity are not about being perfect

it's about being wild and free in what you do

and above all

it's about being you

♥

stay wild and free

Viva la Frida! - #cre8TEAvity

This past weekend I went to a Frida Kahlo exhibit in Baden-Baden, Germany.

I just can't tell you how beautiful that it was! 
If you are in Germany and have the chance to travel to Baden-Baden
you might want to check out the KunstMuseum Gehrke-Remund. 
It's well worth the visit!

My word for 2017 is...

CREATIVITY

So I'll be creating lots of new journal pages.

 Letting go of my everyday thoughts and turning splotches of watercolor 

 into branches with fantasy leaves

What's your word for 2017?




Hugs,

Recently

I normally write down my "to do" list in an altered book.
I then eventually just paint or sketch over the page.
But sometimes things just turn out different.
As recently...

Sat down to write my list, but instead I start sketching... and painting

 before I know it I forgot all about my "to do" list.

{ wrote it down later on a scrap of paper instead - smile }

I guess creative minds are different!

Hugs,

This original painting of mine is now up for bids

This Original mixed media painting on canvas is now up for bids on the charity auction by eBay for
Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontiers { MSF }.

"Stories Told"

 35cm x 35cm

This piece is being auctioned as part of a collective fundraising effort for

Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF).

We are a group of artists wanting to use creativity to make a positive difference for the world amid what seems like an endless cycle of political unrest and natural disasters. All the artists participating have donated their works and agreed to cover international postage costs so that
100% of your bid amount will go to MSF.

Get your Christmas presents sorted early and support a fantastic charity at the same time!

So who says I can't sew ON my journal

All I know is that I sure had a jam packed, week...

Wishing you a most wonderful creative weekend ♥

Sometimes all you need is some paint, pencils and your art journal ♥

The Call of the Wild Soul Art Retreat

What an outstanding experience

Whether it's Erin Faith Allen  for her passion { Girl you are on fire! }
and  for the organization of this retreat in the magical city of Prague

Katie Kendrick for taking such a "breathtaking dive into dimensions of consciousness" and showing me what I am capable of

Orly Avinieri who truly captured my soul with her heartwarming spirit and her one-of-a-kind alchemy of journal making, which is so very special

Michelle Hazell for such a magical creative experience -

guiding us with our spirit dolls/medicine bundles ( which I attached to my journal )

  Polly Pring for taking such good care of all of us  - a biiiiigggg KISS here ! -

( this is the marble tabletop of my bedside table in Prague... can you see that heart?! ) 

 and not to forget each and everyone of my fellow classmates

Just thinking of this wonderful experience puts tears to my eyes.

A big THANK YOU to each and every one of you for this expierence and your encouragement!

You all have a special place in my heart. 

Hugs,

In my garden there is ... room for a free and wild spirit

Yes, and I'm trying to capture that beautiful feeling 

of a free and wild spirit in my art journal today.

Stay safe my friends ♥

July 2016

O.K. so this isn't really anything exciting. Yet it is still a secret that I've been having to keep.
You must know that my husband is a total BMW02 fanatic...

The BMW 02 Series is a range of cars that were produced between1966 and 1977 by the German automaker BMW.
His birthday is coming up soon. So what do I do?!...

Yep. I'm drawing cars now (sigh). That must be love ;-) 

Wishing you a lovely lazy Sunday.

Hugs,

Maps in my journal

What a coincidence. I've been using maps for some time now and love this months theme { MAPS } at AJJ. Thank you Mary!

This spread was inspired by the wonderful and so creative artist Roxanne Coble and her "Creatures" online class... might wanna check her out @bybun she has some awesome art.

Also linking up to the fun over @PaintPartyFriday with Eva and Kristin.

Hugs,
