Arts and Wellness Cafe - Running in the Deep
Welcome to the Arts and Wellness Café - in todays episode the topic is the word 'Deep' and we look at the layers we can go within our creativity.
Have you found your style? It took me over a year with practice to get an idea at the kind of images I wanted to create, then I had to let go and see what wanted to be brought forth - If I listened what would I create?.
A combination of what was inspired and what was in my subconscious. It took a while before I felt comfortable and it still takes a while to understand the messages or stories that want to be told in the piece of work.
Tip for the Week
In Tip for the Week I share what might happen if you ask yourself the question 'What if' If you followed it through where would it lead you. What if you could create anything you want or try any medium. How about applying for that opportunity and going for it even if you feel nervous or scared. The time is now to 'step out of the boat and soar'!
Question of the Week
I also ask in Question of the Week we think about the things that we have been hiding from ourselves. What is that for you?

Painted Fabrics
Here is a short video in which I share with you painting on fabric. It is one of 3 short videos to get you inspired to creatively play with your supplies.
I think it is important to get a view of how things start their journey, usually at this stage as a piece of fabric that gets painted, then it is built upon.

Stepping Out Challenge - Day 4
- Some of my favorite supplies are jewelry pieces that I use with some textiles, I love collecting different supplies but they all tie in together and can be used interchangeably. You don't have to spend a fortune, you can find jewelry at the thrift or charity store, or you may have some that you don't wear that you can re-purpose.
- I also enjoy creating moulds to use with clay work. Some of the store brought moulds can be expensive, but you can make your own You can also find unique molds that you can create your own embellishments.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, it is never too late to start! The main thing is to take one step at a time and do something that you find interesting.
Stay blessed and be a blessing.

Altered Directories - My 31 Art Studio Essentials
Even in those times where stuff happens, what are you doing with your time? There should always be time spent for something creative even if you only have 5 minutes to spare, and what you do with it is vitally important.
Directory waiting to be altered |
Today I will be showing you a selection of Altered Directory Journals. This is a great way to recycle and you probably have a directory laying around that could be put to a creative use.
I also did a series on my blog called 31 Art Journals showing you a variety of cool Art Journals that you can make.
It is great to check out the different shapes and sizes that directories and catalogs come in and the ideas you can come up with as you re-purpose them. When your running low on time you can break up the tasks in small chunks and say stick some pages down, or add gesso to a selection of pages.
