I am the artist of my life... Mixed Media

Yay, I am back!
I have been doing lots of things and sharing very little as usual. Trying to get into the habit of posting my work, I will try to do this frequently.
Recently I took part in an event called Epiphany by Jolene Payne in the Facebook group called Live Art Journaling and Self Developing, a wonderful mixed media community.
!0 days of working 10 minutes on 10 cards, sounds easy, but it was a challenge.
I love the finished product and made a little book.

Hola to my precious friends!
I am having lots of fun in a fab class by N* Studio,

Creative JumpStart 2015

Each day we are given a short workshop (10 min) and that inspires the creation of a project.

When I read about it, I felt unsure, how will a ten minute video inspire me into creating a project. Intrigued by the concept I joined the group and must say that it has been amazing.

Day 1 was a blast, learned how to use different mediums and materials, Artist or Jump Starter sharing his talent this day was Jimmy Leslie.

Made two mini canvases, will be sharing the first one in this post and the second one on a separate post.

Hope you like them and feel inspired to join the class.
