More Gut Art

Here is another journal page from my Gut Art Book.  It was inspired by the artist Terri Hallman using Mystele's pulled art technique.  She is a bit different for me, but I loved creating her! The words at the side are a journaling list of all the things I love and that inspired me about Terri's work.  That is the cool thing about the Gut Art Class; it pushed me to look deeply at what draws me to other artists, artwork, imagery, etc.  I want to keep pushing myself to notice these things and then explore them more in my own artwork.

This little gal was inspired by my daughter.  Just a quick, blonde blue eyed girly. 

Here are some more background pages in my book just waiting to be explored further:

Super fun working in my Gut Art Book.  I'm looking forward to spending some more time with it!  By the way, Mystele is currently taking registrations for her 3rd Gut Art Class.  I highly recommend it!! :)

Work Of Art

I've always loved shows like Design Star, Project Runway, and Debbie Travis' From the Ground Up, so when I heard about this you can't believe my excitement!!!!




It looks to be exciting, creative, even a bit edgy, but I can't wait for it to start!!! :)

Artist Love

I'm so looking forward to this:



I've always loved Georgia O'Keefe, especially her amazing flower paintings. I did a really cool project with my 1st graders when I was teaching based on her flowers. We drew enlarged flowers, cropped up close, outlined all the shapes with thick lines of white glue and then painted them in with watercolors. I wish I had a picture of one of them; they turned out so beautiful. The glue outline resisted the watercolor paint and created a cool effect.

I feel inspired! Flowers, watercolors, me....it's a date!! :) What is inspiring you these days?
