Welcome to the Tulip inspired art journal page, which is part of the Second Saturday Art collaboration - every second Saturday of the month. I hope you enjoy and join in the activity.
In this weeks video I shares how you can add crochet to your art journals and create different effects. I really enjoyed adding this element to my art journals and you can add different color wool to your piece. I used a different color wool at the end of the pages, and I will be coming back to add journaling and some embellishments to the page.
I have one of my paintings in the exhibition - A Seat at the Table, and today there is a 'meet the artists' organized so I will be sharing a bit about some of the work that I do, and what inspires my pieces.
I love the vibrancy of colors and the painting was a very therapeutic piece to complete. The painting is for sale so if you are interested do get in touch.
Join us on Sunday where we share our video collaboration for Artsy Second Sunday. A group of us meet and share a video based on a prompt for the month. It is loads of fun and you can join us in the live chat on YouTube and see how my art journal page was created. It starts at 12pm EST I am scheduled for 1.48 EST You can schedule a notification HERE
If you can join us it would be great! Check out all the videos in the hop which will be listed in the description of the video.
Hope you are having a lovely time this Easter Weekend.

This Week was Week 8 of my Handmade Foam Stamps and each week I end it with a painting of all the stamps for that week.
Going through the stamps means that I get to organize what I have an make new ones. I have been enjoying the process especially as I now have a heat tool which makes creating the designs even easier and you get some great details on the foam.
You can check out this week video below
Artsy Second Sunday
Every second Sunday of the month I take part in a video hop with a group of other artists on YouTube and we work by a monthly theme. This week was 'Ladybugs and Rainbows' I went for Ladybug and played with my supplies on the page.
It was funny as part way though I forgot exactly how a ladybug looks, so the video is just an interpretation of one.
They actually look quite different and I have been privy to some unusual ones in the garden. There are over 6000 species world wide and I think that we have about 4 different varieties in the garden, helping to keep down pests such as aphids that can attack some plants.
Here 3 of the 4 that we have the forth one is brown with pink spots or the other way round, I couldn't find the photo that I took of that one.
Anyway, you can check out the video of the Ladybug that I painting for this blog hop below. I will have to paint it again to do it justice in the style that I would normally paint in.
I hope you enjoy and would love you to join us on the challenges, you will be inspired by the work of the artists who share.
