Strumpet Stencils Used: Triangles Background Plus Sign Background Crop Circle Eye The Strumpet Stencil design team is doing a fun project this summer – round robin journals! Woo! I received Nolwenn’s lovely journal a couple of weeks ago and decided to use it for this month’s walk-through. Nolwenn had already stenciled some awesome backgrounds …
I’m happy! I’m working on a round robin journal with some of my art friends. I love doing these – collecting cool art from fellow artists around the world, all in one pretty canvas wrapped mini journal. I just sent mine off to the US and can’t wait to see it back again after it …
I joined a design team! WOO! My friend, Sarah Trumpp, makes the most amazing and edgy stencils for art journalers and creatives. I’ll have a couple of tutorial style blog posts on her website each month featuring her super cool stencils. Want to win some amazing Strumpet Stencils? YES you do! TO ENTER, Leave a comment on …
I’m not much of a writer as my regular visitors will know. It’s usually a struggle to put together enough words for a blog post so you can imagine my distress when it comes to writing stuff in an art journal. I’m not exactly big on pouring my inner thoughts on a page either and …
Above are a set of bar flies, or flies at the bar. This is me as a fly. Actually, I usually just sit at a table rather than the bar. These were made for an insect swap.

I have a thing for a lot of colour. Some of you may have noticed that. So rainbow horns is totally my thing and I can’t wait to do another one of these mixed media paintings. The more colour, the better. I think I’ll be filling my next few journal pages with rainbow horned ladies …
This is me to a T. You should see me on pub night. LOL. Actually, I’m a night owl in real life. I stay up late making art or playing Dragon Age but the wild part only happens when we’re actually out doing something and then only until the sun sets. Then I’m done! I …
I’m still on the Life Book 2017 thing! Surprisingly, since usually after about 3 or 4 weeks of a workshop, I move on to something else. Above are a set of empathy monsters meant to be sent to a swap partner to give them positive messages. It’s a cute idea. I made one for myself and …
It’s time for 29 Faces again! Woo! I always love this one… not that I get far, but faces are just fun, right? I think I made it to 29 faces a few years back, and my fingers are primed to reach for that goal again this year. I’m going to try a few styles …
Here are a couple of recent art journal pages from this month based on prompts from Journal52.com. The top one is portal and the bottom prompt is strange. Both are done in acrylic in my new art journal (thank you, Sarah Trumpp!). I’m hopeful I can fill this journal by the end of the year.
