My creative journey really got going just over a year ago. I had been hankering after a more creative life for a few years before that and had dabbled in a few things, patchwork, applique and scrap booking. I'm not really a computer sort of person but in desperation I started looking online for inspiration and direction. I think you can guess what happened. Yep that's right I found a whole world of truly wonderful art/artists blogs. Wow, it was a real eye opener for me. What I was repeatedly drawn to was mixed media art. It was a brand new idea to me and boy was I excited. I was and am still blown away with how open and generous some of these artists are. Then joy of joys, there are online workshops. So, last April I took my first online workshop - She art worshop, hosted by
Christy Tomlinson. She was amazing, so fun and giving and I learnt a lot. This was a whole new experience for me, I was bug eyed just taking it all in. Here are a couple of pictures showing what I created through that workshop.
I absolutely loved making these and I am proud of them as they mark the beginnings of my art journey. Don't you just love beginnings, so hopeful, so exciting and maybe just a little scary ( roller coaster scary not Hammer House of Horror scary ).
Take care X
