Hi! It's Lori and I have to tell you I am sooo excited to take Christy's She Art class!
I adore those sweet girls and I can't wait to learn how she creates them!
CLASS starts in 2 days!! That means only 2 days left to REGISTER!!
I think I will want to make lots and lots of pretty girls - but I have a dilemma. I don't have many places I can display artwork in my home - and I don't want to make art pieces and then hide them away in a box or on a shelf somewhere - I want to see them often and be reminded to create and I want to share some and give some as gifts but they might not fit with other's decorating or home style either.
I've done a lot of thinking the past few days and I think I have a good solution!
I bought some plain journals and I am going to use the covers as a canvas for some of my She Art!
I bought both of these at Barnes and Noble - but Christy actually carries Dick Blick Sketch Journals in her Scarlet Lime Shop! Or you can find them just about anywhere! The black journal is 8 1/2 x 11 with blank pages inside. I am going to use it for my new inspiration journal and I can look at it as often as I want, but not have to put it on a wall. I can also paint my She Art Girls inside of the pages as well if I wanted too!
The purple journal is 5x7 with lined pages inside. It could be used as a daily journal or an inspiration journal. I think this size would be great for decorating with mixed media art and given as a gift - its personal and meaningful but doesn't have to be displayed.
I know Christy has said she uses bases other than canvas for some of her art and I know she will talk about some of those in the class, but I wanted to share this idea with you to start you thinking of ways you can make your art completely personal and that it can be so much more than a painting on the wall!
AND guess what else? Christy has offered to giveaway today a $35.00 Gift Certificate to The Scarlet Lime Shop, so if you want to get some of her Dick BLick Art Journals, you can!! All you have to do is post on today's blog post and the winner will be announced next week!
Also.. don't forget! ONLY 2 Days LEFT!!! If you are still on the fence about the She Art Workshop!

What a brilliant idea to use the journals! I'm still on the fence with the class (although I'd love to take it), but I'm edging closer and closer to taking it!

I agree with the above comment. The class looks so amazing....filled with lots of amazing techniques I am sure. The journal idea is perfect! I am thinking putting them on a canvas bag could be lots of fun too! TFS!
