Drawing Yourself Back To Nature

My First Nature Journal

Here I am sharing my first nature journal entry. I must say -- it was fun to make the book, but even more fun to use my colored pencils to create the "Edibles" from my fridge. Thanks for the nudge Kelly!!

I don't do Twitter or Instagram, but just wanted you to know how much I like your laid-back, non-perfectionist, easy-to-do, encouraging style and projects--even though you do like broccoli, which I can stand ;-) Looking forward to more videos and posts. Off to see what the others are doing.

Hi Kiala! Great to see you doing this! I've always been fascinated by the nature and have been drawing plants since I was a child, so this really excites me and I'm going to join the course as well! I've just a few months ago started art journaling seriously (in a fun way! :) ), so it was amazing that you made the video. It made me want to do a similar journal too.

I tweeted about this video and reposted your Instagram photo, and I hope I did all the steps correctly! :) My Twitter name is @svaata and Instagram is @freecreativeartist (new account to match my upcoming art and creativity website).

Oh wow! I just found out that I won the giveaway! Amazing! When I saw the giveaway goodies the first time on this page I knew I had to participate because I had been really interested in some of those supplies and some of them were not (easily) available in Finland. :) I've joined Kelly's course and I'm looking forward to it with a lot of excitement! When I heard about the course I realized that it combines two things that are the most important to me in my life, nature and art. It has been like this since childhood and if some things in my life are permanent, then those are the ones.
