This year.. one of my goals is to host a series of workshops called " Creatively Inspired". The idea for this workshop is based off my blog posts from last year where I was completely inspired by another talented artist and then took a piece of their work and created something inspired by it.
When the idea first came to me last fall.. I immediate had a list of creative artist I KNEW i wanted to work with on this.. beautiful talented women.. who have their own creative style. The workshops will be hosted by me.. on my website.. just like my other workshops.. BUT will mainly be taught by my guest teacher! Plus I will join in each week showing my spin and teaching techniques based off their lessons each week. I am SO excited about the idea of not only working but learning from other creative women!
So I am excited to announce my FIRST workshop for 2012..
the Art of wild Abandonment ...
a 3 week art journaling workshop by the talented Junelle Jacobson and me!
I was first smitten by Junelle's style earlier last year when I saw these amazing art journal pages and sketches that she was creating based off my 3 Hearts journaling class last year.
Junelles creative process is so fascianting as most of her artwork and journals begins with a simple sketch.
Wild Abandonment is based off the idea that we can find creativity all around us.. and through sketching and letting our imagination flow.. we can journal about our life in a completely free and creative way.
In this class Junelle will teach us the process of sketching the art of everyday moments.. "our feel goods" as she calls it.. and will help us see the world in a different and unique way. She will give tips for better sketching and developing your own style as well as ideas on keeping a notebook of your creative process.
Then she will take us into the world of color.. where we will add life to our sketches through watercolor, inks, paints and so much more!
In the last part of the class.. Junelle will show us how to take our art.. off the page by using our art in new creative ways for our home, a gifts.. or even to sell!
I can't even being to tell you how excited I am for this new workshop. If you have taken my She art 2 workshop or the 12 Artsy Ornaments of Christmas workshop.. then you are already familiar with Junelles teaching style and creativity. She did a guest project/video for me in both of those workshops and her creative teaching style just blows me away! She is so generous with her information and she has the dang cutest personality ever. She is so funny and creative.. I could watch her create all day long. She is truly one of my favorite artist.. I hope someday I can grow up to be just like her. So not only am i excited to be offering this class.. but I am also excited to learn just like you.. from Junelles creative style. Each week I will be posting my own process and art based on Junelles lessons for that week.. plus a few of my o wn tips and tricks as well!
I hope you will join me in my first big workshop for 2012.. I KNOW it will be one that you will learn so much from! This class starts March 12th and is a 3 week e-course! The cost of the class is normally $44.95 but if you register before February 29th you will get the early registration price of $35.00!

So you will have plenty of time to create and play! (so if you joined any of my workshops from last year.. you will have an entire new year to create and play as well!)

Love Junelle's style and think this will be a great workshop. I just signed up for the 21 Secrets Workshop so I'm a little over budget right now. Maybe I can win a spot - that would be great - thanks for the chance.
