the flower on the left is a painting exercise from Lee Hammond’s Acrylic Painting book. I learned a lot about drawing and painting using her books. The portait on the right I did collaging some papers for the face and acrylic paints. I find it amazing that somehow my faces come out resembling me. I don’t try to do it, but it happens.

Art Journal a day (AJD)
In the hope of bringing some kind of cohesiveness to my blog, I’m going to start posting an art journal entry per day. Since that’s pretty much what the bulk of my blog entries are about anyway. I will continue to participate in the Illustration Friday prompts. I will also try including some prompts of my own. Mondays I will be posting my zentangle of the week. I love these things. I read about them in the Nov/Dec ‘09 issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors and I’m addicted!
I started this blog as a way to advertise my etsy shop, but honestly I haven’t done any artwork for sale in a while. I have so many craft related interest right now, journaling has been one constant. I do hope to add some new prints to my shop in the next month. Thinking some Valentine’s Day themes.
I did the above art journal painting after singing at a Young Women’s program. The song was “Walk Tall You’re A Daughter of God”. I had to learn it in a week so I played it pretty much all day everyday to keep the tune in my head. After I sung it, I couldn’t get rid of the tune. This was my way of putting it out of my head. I have to say it worked!

portraits and art class
New journal entry. I like doing realistic portraits. I still struggle with certain aspects of the portrait like the hair and nose. I don’t think this one reflects that, but I was working on a page tonite and must have spent almost 30 minutes on the nose alone!
Been getting together for the past couple of weeks with two other homeschool families. It looks like we will be alternating doing science and art enrichment lessons. Guess who doing art? I looked as this as an opportunity to test the waters for possibly teaching art classes.
It turned out to be not as big a deal as I anticipated. We did a simple collage. I spent the night before cutting out shapes, collected patterned paper, and mulling over project ideas. The kids age 3-11 did the first collage project and ran off to play. I thought I needed to have at least three projects, but one sufficed. My “students” seemed pleased and proud of their collage.

A prayer for Haiti
Let’s keep these people in our thoughts and prayers. If you have to give, I hope you do.

Inspiration Wednesday- Food Inc.
(Inspiration Wednesday is a weekly post where I share what has inspired me in my art, parenting, or my way of living. The hope is that by sharing, it can be an inspiration to others, too.)
My husband and I watched this DVD over the weekend. And while some of it I already knew from personal reading, I was shocked at the rest. We depend so much on those in the food industry to provide us with food that is healthy and not harmful. But the truth of the matter is that is a business and there are some greedy people out there.
If anything this video has inspired my family to be more diligent in growing our own foods through gardening, buying from local farmers, and being more aware of where I food comes from and what’s actually in it.
We’ve had a garden for the past six years, but more for hobby than anything. I truly desire to live off the land more after I saw this. Not only because of trust, but because we shouldn’t rely so heavily on someone else to have our best interest. We need to become more self-reliant.
I saw a reality show, where a 41 year old man said that the only spinach he ever knew of was from a can! He didn’t even know what fresh spinach looked like! That’s a shame. How many kids today know exactly where the food we eat come from? How many know what it looks like in it’s natural state?
I felt it appropriate to share this DVD around the time a lot of us have the goal of living more healthy. Gaining knowledge about our food is a step in that direction.

Getting back in full swing…
Another year, another chance to do something more, something different. I started out the New Year with a new position at church as Relief Society President for my ward. Pretty exciting and challenging!
Also, our homeschool will reflect some changes. My two oldest need a change, so I’ve been looking into ways to keep the momentum going for them. Speaking of homeschooling, I will be leading my first homeschool conference workshop in the spring. I’m excited and terrified at the same time!
As for my creative pursuits, I plan to consistently work on adding new items to my Etsy shop and really branch out beyond the internet world. I really would like to make some connections offline. I’m also interested in teaching some offline course. I’m hoping to invest in a really great camera and add more video tutorials. I like sharing with others what I learn and how I do things.
(The above painting was done in my moleskin journal. It is with acrylics and heavy collage! My fingers were covered in modge podge. I like collage but after a project like this I have to take a break from it. I took decorated scrapbook paper and ripped them into smaller pieces to alter the design a bit. I liked the turnout but it was more work than I anticipated.)
So much to look forward to. I’m pretty excited about life, how about you?!
