I want to encourage all - especially those gals between 40 and 60, 70, 80 to follow their creative dreams. It is never too late to reinvent ourselves. Remember Beatrice Woods started sculpting to international acclaim at the age of 70! |
| Homage to Pam Carriker Coptic Journal |
While I started keeping a daily dairy in fourth grade ( important stuff like --played tetherball after school, have a crush on Jeff Current and like Marcia best on The Brady Brunch) -- I didn't start art journaling seriously until 2010.

| First art journal page from Shades of Grey |
I read Pam Carriker's Shades of Grey article in Somerset Studio and was mesmerized.
I immediately ordered the Shades of Grey Pitt pens from Dick Blick and took my first online course. I was hooked. A few months later I learned how to make coptic journals and the addiction intensified. I recently made a Homage to Pam Carriker Coptic Journal and put all the journal pages that I created from her classes. The above picture is my first art journal page from Shades of Grey. I'm very grateful that Pam has been so generous sharing her talent and techniques.
Jenelle, your artwork continues to amaze me! I cant wait to see what you post next.

Violette--Thank you so much for your kind comments! They mean so much to me, because I am a huge fan of your artwork and journaling, not to mention your purple studio (!) Your wonderful book-Journal Bliss--was a a huge catalyst and inspiration that inspired me to start art journaling. Thank you for all your wonderful art and giving us all permission to be eccentric :)
