{01.03.13} let go...MOVE forward
this year I have decided to explore NEW ideas...new techniques...new ways of extending my artwork. I've been working on a lot doodling, drawing, collage and creating mixed media digital art journaling pages on my iPad mini. It's a great way to explore new directions and also allows me to journal and brainstorm visually when I don't have access to my paints and supplies. This page was created with Paper53 & Bamboo Stylus. I've been pushing myself to explore creating layers like I would in my actual art journal...lots of fun..experimentation! I've also been working with a few other apps to create mixed media layers using collage and my photos. I'll share peeks of those soon!
a few creative prompts/thoughts...use these to jumpstart your art journal pages.

introducing artJOURNALING fridays...
In 2010, I launched a blog series called artJOURNALING daily, with the hopes of encouraging myself to spend more time inside the pages of my art journals everyday and inspire others with prompts. But work, daily life and travel got in the way of continuing the series daily...plus I just plain overextended myself with online workshops, writing my book, creating products, designing new art journals, etc.
My goal this year is to create a few art journal pages each week. I was going to say daily, but I know that won't be the case. So I'll be sharing some of the pages in my digital journals, sketchbooks, mixed media supplies and creative prompts with you each week ...so join me for Art Journaling FRIDAYS!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>SHARE YOUR WORK>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'd love to see what you are up to in your own art journals, please share links to your photos or blog posts in the comments? what did you journal about this week? what's your focus for 2013?

TEACHING/workshop update: I've decided to take a break from teaching most of this year. I will have a few special workshops at my studio, a couple events to launch my new art stamps and I'm only planning 2 NEW online workshops {as of now} this year. I really want to focus on NEW things and NEW directions with the launch of my digital boutique. I'm working on an e-course about digital art journaling which I'm planning to launch in March. I'll announce details next week!! stay tuned...looking forward to a creative 2013 with OPEN arms, mind & heart.
happy art journaling...xoxo~treiC
