Polka Dot Meditation - Art Journaling

12/31/2015

4 Comments

 
Okay beautiful creative people!!!

We made it to the end of this blog hop!!! Crazy right? The month has flown by and I'm thrilled at how much art journaling I've been able to do. It's kinda mind boggling. 

It's also the last day to get the December Mini Class for free if you sign up for the year long Journey Within, so go sign up and have a whole extra month of videos, tutorials, and inspiration.

Today's final spread was a great one to end with because I got to spend time doodling and coloring and meditating on the year to come. Plus, it's from a lovely artist that I've been following since I started following artists on social media. 

TODAY'S CHALLENGE -- from iHanna

“I love to hand paint repeating patterns in my art journal, especially dots. Around my studio my desk is polka dotted, and quite a few of the pages in my art journal have had their fair share of dots this year. If you have the time before the year ends, please join Kiala and me and make a page with polka dots. Big, small, one color or all the colors on your palette – just dive into it. Make it simple and fun, maybe the last page of the year… Have fun with all the dots you can dream up and paint!"

Here's my page spread...

This was so much fun. This page and this entire blog hop. If you want to see what Hanna made for this challenge, check here out HERE.

Am I too late? Hope not as I would love to join your class. It looks like there is so much to learn while having fun! That is my goal for 2016, to watch, learn and create. Thank you.

Hey Susan, that's the best part about online classes, we get to watch, learn, and create with others from around the world. I hope to see you there.

I realize, I feel better, if I make art everyday. Even if it is just a small art card of sorts, I would like to see if I can maintain, doing something everyday, even if it is a continuing piece. I was amazed with you accomplishing 52 books for the year. I tip my hat to you. I have been enjoying watching the videos, and at so e point, I will begin to make several. I have been so inspired by your beautiful work and look forward to every video, I watch next. Thank you for taking the time to not only video these books, but also for all the work that goes into getting them out there for us to view. You are an incredibly talented teacher, a d I like the way you make your videos, allowing us to see all the steps. Happy New Year to you, Kiala.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks so much for watching the YouTube videos. It's always fun to "meet" the folks on the other side of the camera. I'm glad you are enjoying them and I look forward to connecting with you creatively.
