Ultimate Blog Challenge - Are You Up for Another? - Day 1



So I am taking part in April's Ultimate Blog Challenge where we blog every day for the next 30 Days - today marks the first day!!.  It coincides with my current 100 Day Project which I am half way through, so you will be seeing some of these posts included as well, and much of the other things that I have going on.

I thought for my challenge this time round on the blog I would share all the projects that I am involved with, from art collaborations, course creation, publishing a poetry book and more and you get in blog form to be in on some of the wonderful creativity, I will share some of the videos and reflect on some of the work that I am doing.

It is a great way to stretch yourself, and do some of the things that you have always wanted to do.  I like the challenge as it gets me to stretch myself a bit and really step out of my comfort zone.  One of my challenges this month is to type up my poetry and publish a book, I will keep you posted to how this is going along the way.

I have been enjoying doing the Homemade Foam Stamps, as an artist you never have too many supplies (ok as a collector then) so creating my own stamps was a great way to get some new designs without breaking the bank (all I needed was a sheet of sleeping bag foam).  You will see some of the designs, will be showing the past 50 at the weekend - that halfway mark.  I just need somewhere to store them now, might have to make something - I love creating and upcycling.

Next up you can see last weeks selection of stamps and the mixed media art piece that was created with them.

Home Made Foam Stamps Week 6 - The 100 Day Project,  



Here is the art page for this current week.  I will resume to share the pages on Saturday, but wanted you to get caught up with all the deliciousness that has been going on.  It has been a pleasure creating the pages, and I have loved how the stamps have turned out.  I have some ideas for future projects once I have completed the 100 Days.



Explore, Imagine, Dream


You can catch the Handmade foams stamps daily on my Instagram - HERE

As well as creating I have been reviewing some of the books that I have on my shelf and sharing them, you can see the latest one The Drawing Lab, which has tons of great ideas in it, and was a good investment as you can continually dip in and out of it.




In this video I review the book 'Drawing Lab' by Carla Sonheim

  2. I watched you create that beautiful card and it was fascinating to see how something like that is made. I never would have thought of doing something like that.
