Welcome, well we are off! The BADASS Art Journal 2021 online course officially started on Monday and we have some amazing classes lined up for you. Hosted by artist Tiare Smith she has brought together 14 of us to share some of our art lessons
I am looking forward to sharing my lesson with you. This is my fifth time teaching on this class and we always have an amazing time as the other teachers share their lessons.
I hope you can join us, don't worry about the idea of 'falling behind' you can go at your own pace and the lessons are downloadable. Here is a sneak peak of what you will be learning in my lesson
Here are some of the supplies we will be using and making lost of lovely marks on the paper. What ever you don't have or can't get you can substitute, the main thing is to have fun while you are creating.
We will start out be creating a background page like this one, with lots of texture, encouraging words and marks, using some of my not so often used supplies - this is a great time to incorporate the paint that you normally leave or feel uncomfortable using. You also choose some of you favourite paints to add balance and it works.
We will then create a simple image, which encompasses the word that we want to use in the main painting to encourage ourselves as we go on our creative adventure.
It would be great to see you and you can get more information HERE or you can sign up below for the course and join me and the other teachers who are excited to meet you too!
I hope that you are having a blessed Christmas and as we go into the New Year are inspired to tap into your creativity in a new way.
There are a lot of things happening creatively and I want to make sure you are able where possible to make full use of them. I am teaching on 3 Courses next year and most of them involve working in your art journal in a variety of ways and I thought I would share the series that I did called 31 Art Journals.
Whilst I have more than 31 it is a small sample of the type of art journals you can create and/or purchase and I talk about the work within, the motivation for creating the art journals which will help you (if your new to art journaling) get an understanding and take away any apprehension for starting. I will be sharing 5 art journals a day over the next 6 days, if you have any questions do leave a comment.
We have some great courses lined up for you for next year and some of you would have been able to sample some sessions on one of the courses. There are some great prices and I will share below where you can make some savings.
I am really pleased to be teaching on all of the courses and some of the lessons that I will be bringing are varied and one of the things that I plan to do over the next month is to help you get ready by sharing free process videos so that you can dip your feet in and have something to do while you wait.
I shared recently about Creative JumpStart which brings together 45 teachers who will give you tips and ideas when you only have a short amount of time and you want to get something done. All the lessons on this course are under 10 minutes and a great way to get you going. There will be giveaways and you are able to download all the lessons for your continued use.
The course is normally $89 and you have an opportunity to get it at a discounted price. If you register before the 31st December $69, after which it reverts to its normal price of $89. You can learn more and sign up for the class HERE

Thank you for joining me in my studio for the Art Studio Essentials Daily Series.
I had hoped to have finished at the end of January, but you are in for a treat as it will go on for a couple more weeks into February. I hope that throughout the series you have felt that this has been a way to kick start your creativity as you check out some supplies that I have and sort through ones that you have in your stash.
Today I will sharing with you my Stamp supply, ones that have been brought, free gifts and then ones I started making. They come in all designs and sizes.
It is quite easy to get sucked into purchasing lots of supplies and then you end up only using a few because you realize that you just don't need quite so many - you can't use them all at once.
We all have 5 minutes that we can give to creative play, why not see how you can fit creativity into your every day, and dig out those stamps you may have and see what you can do with them!
Handmade Stamps and Embossing Powder
If you are just starting out and on a budget I would suggest you think about what projects you might need to use the Stamps for and how else you might be able to use them - with Mixed Media the ideas are endless! Some stamps work good on their own but equally as part of a background, you can get great patterns from the whole stamp or use just a part of it. You can also use a variety of other things like embossing powder as above, on fabric, there is no limit to what you could try.
You can check out discount stores that may have a good supply, I have listed some below, and also check out my Resources page, for current discounts. You can also get free stamps on some of the Craft Magazines on sale, so it is a good idea to have a look in some of these.
