Thoughts on this Monday morning

.... and...

an article in the newspaper just caught my attention... the exhibition "Rendezvous of Artists - Masterpieces from Klewan's Art Collection" will be showing in Augsburg. Would sure love to see it.

WOYWW! Chaos { = Creativity } in the studio this Wednesday!

I'm joining in on the fun again this week again over at Julias place!

I've got a couple of new art journal spreads going, a couple of tags I'm making, ATC's and getting things all together for a creative gathering with other artists tonight. - We meet on a regular basis once a month and it's called "Stammtisch" here in Germany. You might want to know that besides my passion for art journaling, I just love fine arts! { If your interested in my art might wanna take a peek here --> KünstlerStammtisch Raisting. } 

.... and I'm finishing up this wonderful lady here to top it all off. So you can see creativity is really flowing here. Thanks for stopping on over. I'll pop on over to your creative space soon too.

Wishing you a lovely and creative week to come, hope to see you again next Wednesday!

Hugs,

Wednesday!!!!

WOYWW... I'm so happy to be back! I just had so much going on last week. I didn't have any time at all for art nor my studio. But now I just can't wait to get back in the sadle again....

{ this is only a small excerpt... the chaos lies elsewhere! }
I'm gonna have to clean up today, but I sure know that that big art journal on my desk definitely needs a new spread!

Also had a wonderful workshop last night with seven excited & super curious gals.
{ I'm trying to spread the word about art journaling here in the area where I live in southern Germany }
We had so much fun!!! - More on that art journal workshop here: Promote your passion!. 

Wishing you a wonderful and creative Wednesday over at Julia's place!

Hugs,

Flowers on my desk... and in my journal

{ WOYWW }

Hey there! You might just want to take a small peek into the studio...

the place is a mess, but...

the flowers I had on my desk over the weekend tickled my inspirational soul.

Just letting my heart lead the way...

 these blobs 

 actually started to bloom in my journal!

Just letting go and doodling.

Sometimes you just don't need words to capture the moment ♥

Hope you have a fun week!

Hugs

Doing some spring cleaning in the studio

Spring is just around the corner so let's get organized!

Today I want to share a tip on how I store my brushes. I love to use all sorts of old tins and cups. If the cups you would like to use aren't high enough, just fill them with sand or pebbles and then put the brushes in.

The sand makes it much easier to handle the brushes and it's such an eye catcher!

Here's how I store my washi stash.

And when I do some cleaning I most always find things that I don't need and want to let go... you might just want to check out my DAWANDA shop "Michelle & Gabriel". Where I sell Kunst (german word for art), Kitsch (another german word there... you know what kitsch is don't you?!) and of course vintage treasures.

Hope you have a wonderful creative time!
