I heard the words, “Breakthrough is imminent” while reading this prophetic word by Eric Maison on Thursday, March 23, 2023, and listening to Rick Pino’s song, “We’re Open.” During this time, God started giving me an instant download of revelation and “knowing” about the current time we are in. We are at the cusp ofContinue reading “Breakthrough is Imminent”

Art as Healing: How the little bits can become whole and how that ties into collage fodder; plus a few simple landscapes.
I am always making art of some sort. Most of the art pirces on display in this post were made this past week, except for one oil pastel drawing and the two rubbing template designs which are from the week before. My life is filled with art since, for a living, I am an artContinue reading “Art as Healing: How the little bits can become whole and how that ties into collage fodder; plus a few simple landscapes.”
Collage fodder and mark making with black sumi ink and acrylic markers, plus a cool packaging tape trick!
Below, I experimented with black sumi ink applied with a bamboo reed pen. I just wanted to do some mark making with black lines to collage into future artwork and/or junk journaling. The first one is made on top of a gessoed oil pastel drawing with lots of scratchy lines. I applied the oil pastelsContinue reading “Collage fodder and mark making with black sumi ink and acrylic markers, plus a cool packaging tape trick!”
More collage fodder and experimentations!
I’ve been at it again–making collage fodder, that is! It’s a good thing to do when I come home late at night and want to make art, but am too tired. I’m still making art, but its not a big commitment, and its ok if it doesn’t turn out great! Even the ugly scraps couldContinue reading “More collage fodder and experimentations!”
Collage Fodder Madness: Gelli prints with acrylics, distress inks, and alcohol drops; and collage and watercolor paintings meant to be ripped!
I made more collage fodder this past week, all kinds!! On Wednesday, I got inspired by watching a Robyn Mcclendon video on using alcohol with her gelli plates. So I tried it, of course. It was super fun! I tried this on a variety of different papers, including parchment paper, deli paper, watercolor paper, andContinue reading “Collage Fodder Madness: Gelli prints with acrylics, distress inks, and alcohol drops; and collage and watercolor paintings meant to be ripped!”
Collage Fodder: Distressed, Scribble, Grunge series
I really enjoyed making this series. I will probably use it in my grief journal which I will be making as an example, but also to process my own grief. I’ve been exploring ways to make journals as well as collage fodder via videos. We’re going to be making grief journals in the next PsalmsContinue reading “Collage Fodder: Distressed, Scribble, Grunge series”
More art for March
Most all of this art has been done in the past month, but there are 5 of them from many years ago that I came across recently. I’m always making art!
Art Process: Joy Breakthrough
Well, I added some additions to this to fix the smears from yesterday. You can see an earlier version here and read more about my art process and mess up. This is the final edited version (below) made of alcohol inks, Caran d’Ache Neocolor 1 and 2 crayons, acrylic paint, painter’s pen, gel pen, sharpies,Continue reading “Art Process: Joy Breakthrough”
Art Process: When Disaster Shows Promise and When Promise Turns to Disaster
This (above) is my disaster that ended up showing promise. I was working on something else in the art studio today. This was just an afterthought. It was beckoning me somehow. I dont work on it often, and lately, it seems I only add a bit here or there after I get done with somethingContinue reading “Art Process: When Disaster Shows Promise and When Promise Turns to Disaster”
Experimenting with distressed backgrounds and tags for art journaling.
Recently, I ordered some distressed oxide stamps and ink from Tim Holtz, some gloss sprays from Dina Wakley, and some Dylusion sprays. Yesterday and today, I have been experimenting with how to use them. The examples below are the results. This is the first time I have ever tried them. I am happy with theContinue reading “Experimenting with distressed backgrounds and tags for art journaling.”
