One of the questions I am asked most often is, "What is inside your fineline bottle?" Today I have the answer! Hop over to my YouTube channel to find the simple recipe for what is inside along with comparing the sizes of bottles and my confession to exactly how long I've had paint in these bottles (and it's a good thing! this recipe lasts!)

Can you guess what color I added to my fineline bottle lineup in my video? (no cheating!)

Watch for more tips & tricks videos in this series randomly throughout the year.

And, let me know below if there is anything you'd like to know more about that I can drop a video on for you. I love helping you create.

I ran across a partially used square dylusions jou

I ran across a partially used square dylusions journal last week. The same journal I used for my #nwa30min art exercise. There are a few pages here and there that I played with the dylusions products and style. I actually took a couple in person classes with @dyanreaveley and really loved them. Even though her style is so different than mine, I truly learned a lot from her.

So, I took it as a sign to continue the 30 minute art journal this year! So many of you were inspired to just create for 30 minutes in a journal....and I want to continue to inspire you!

This year I am doing #30minutethursdayart. Every Thursday about 10 am central I'll post my creation for the week here on the 'gram and a process video on YouTube. I'd love for you to join in! I'm not sure what I'll do with the used pages - maybe gesso over, maybe rip out, maybe add to them... you'll have to wait and see!

For today's art, I used walnut ink for thie first time, along with sepia acrylic ink, gesso, stabilo and lots of ephemera. Enjoy!

It's the first Wednesday of the month...and 2022..

It's the first Wednesday of the month...and 2022.... so it's #mixedmediamenagerie day! And, this month is a little bit different....We finished our MMM journals, and we're celebrating with a flip through! We began this challenge in the fall of 2020 and continued through 2021. It was so much fun to walk down memory lane and see each page and the strange collection of things we created with each month.

I have two videos up today on YouTube channel (link in bio): the flip through, and my rebinding process. This journal was crazy wonky and needed to be rebound. Also, be sure to watch to the end of the journal flip through to hear our plans for 2022. (Spoiler: we're continuing! and we're so excited for some of the fun changes/additions!)

Be sure to check out @erin.decoste & @lauramixedmedia 's flip throughs, too! I cannot wait to see theirs!

My December 2021 post as the mixed media creative

My December 2021 post as the mixed media creative ambassador for @piececraftlove ....purposefully delayed to January 1, 2022, as my advice for the new year.

BE BRAVE
BE BOLD
BE WILLING TO PLAY

after all, what are art journals for? have fun! play! make mistakes! recover! discover happy accidents....fall in love with the process more than the page.

Was this my favorite page ever? no, but did I learn? yes
most importantly, I showed up. I created.
in the end, I love the result for more than just the art.

Hop over to YouTube to see how this page came together! ANd, enjoy my fun voice overs! hehe...

I can’t believe it’s already the middle of December and my last @artfoamies guest artist post for 2021! I’ve loved sharing my ArtFoamie creations with you this year, and I hope they’ve inspired YOU to create with these amazing foam stamps. Likewise, I hope they've also inspired you to add some ArtFoamies to your holiday wishlist!

I had so much fun creating this page... I fell in love with these stamps, and I cannot wait to play with them again. Check out the process on my YouTube channel (link in bio) to see how just one little asemic writing stamp created such an amazing paragraph of words.

It was so fun to create a watercolor house portrai

It was so fun to create a watercolor house portrait as a gift this week! My husband comissioned me (BTW, the bill is on your desk, haha!) to paint this home for his co-worker/manager to give at their holiday party last night. The first Christmas in their new home...that in this crazy Austin housing market, took them quite a while to find.

Funny story.... I grabbed the photo for this house from the real estate listing, but I began to get a tad nervous that what if the listing was messed up? So, I quick drove by the house before beginning to sketch. 🤣 It was right, phew!

I'm booked on comissions for this year, but if you're interested in a watercolored house, send me a DM or email me (all info in my bio). I'd love to create one for you!

It's the first Wednesday of the last month of the year, and we're back with another twist on #mixedmediamenagerie! To celebrate the holiday season, the last pages in our journals, and to have a little fun, we played secret Santa this month! We each had a specific supply to gift to each other along with a goodie or ephemera. Nothing was coordinated - but in the end, it all came together!

We haven't decided what 2022 holds for MMM, but we are going to each post a flip through of our journals the first Wednesday of January! I can't wait to watch all three journals front to back. It's been a fun journey with a lot of strange collections of things.

After watching my video, check out how @erin.decoste & @lauramixedmedia created with the #strangecollectionofthings this month and then we challenge YOU to create with us!

We hope you were inspired to play along! Use #mixedmediamenagerie on instagram so we can see what you create.
