Creating Art Journalers

I have just spent the must intense 5 days at the Brisbane Craft fair… i did three workshops each day and talked nonstop in between.

I pour out so much energy in my drawing demonstrations, and talking about journaling, teaching online and art supplies (How did I create this AWESOME job for myself?! Too cool!)…you would think I would run out of batteries.

But all i needed to do to recharge was turn on the ipad and have a peep at the work form the final week of Supplies me that is flooding in. Honestly… it blows my mind. BLOWS. MY. MIND. The creative courage that my students show is so freakin inspiring. I get a bit choked up about it. It feels really, really, really good to walk with people I have come to know and respect – and heck I’m just gonna admit it – love, on their creative path. It is so much fun!

I am working on the details for the next class so we can keep on this amazing journey together. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today – but that could just be exhaustion setting in after the show… and a little too much French champagne cheering on the French in the Rugby Union World Cup final last night!  So later this week will be the big announce of what I’m doing next…

Here’s a little Happy Mermie that appeared in my journal at the Brisbane Craft Show:
