nourishing the soul ~ my new creativity group
it's been a busy week here, but i wanted to pop in and let y'all know i've decided to move my ning group officially to facebook. after much consideration, it just seems like the most natural choice. so many of us already spend time there regularly, right? :D as of right now, the group is open to the public, but in the next day or so i will be changing it to a closed group. once this happens, you will have to request membership. also, only members will be able to see group wall posts, photos, and discussions....thus making it a safe place to share and grow while hanging out with creative kin.
once you join, please post a little intro on the group wall or in the introductions thread in the discussion group. let's get to know each other. this is a place for kinship and encouragement....which without your participation, won't happen. you can post photos/videos to the group wall and in the group photo pool. if you find something that you feel would benefit our group, please post a link on the group wall to share with our creative kin. :D
be sure to check the group every so often to keep up with new stuff. new activity in groups does not post to your newsfeed. you have to visit the group itself. so, don't become a stranger. ;) :D i will be posting creativity challenges and prompts on a regular basis, so you don't want to miss out. participation in them is not mandatory, but is encouraged.
living, breathing, creating ~ nourishing the soul group on facebook
hope to see ya there!

Painting experiment
Painting experiment a la Michelle, originally uploaded by Paulette Insall.
A few weeks ago, i had the opportunity to do some experimentation at my friend Michelle's studio with a few of my dear artist friends. this painting was the result of what Michelle shared with us. Painting this way has taught me so much in a short amount of time. Can't wait to see how these techniques come out in my future work!
Wishin' i could be two places at once
I'm off to enjoy a nice sunny day with the fam.....some lunch and a little bike riding hopefully followed with a trip for some ice cream (cold stone I hope so I get my current fave cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles). I find myself wishin' I could be two places at once tho....creating in my studio (it's sitting sadly neglected this week) and spending time out enjoying my family. What two places do you wish you could be right now?
Mini art jewels in progress
I've been wanting to create art jewelry again for a while now and have been busy researching and experimenting to find the way I like best and I think I've finally got it all figured out. Yea! These are a few test pieces I worked on yesterday that turned out (not gonna show you the ones that didn't lol!) that I'm planning on gifting. I've got more glass on it's way to me (bigger and handmade) that I will be using to create art pendants for sale. Art isn't just for your walls ya know. ;)
