I LOVE the idea of using stitchery as a map element. I too love, maps, and postage stamps, and all of those wonderful goodies! Have a lovely day, Karla

Love you're blog...i'm a little weird too because I love watching Incense smoke as it dances to the music. Took about 100 pictures of the incense smoke, and then played with the color and contrast to make the pictures look very artistic.

Technically, one cannot have a "first annual." There can be only one initial event and it can't really be called the first until you've had a second. Until then it's just an event. Only if it happens again — at about the same time of year — do you get to use the words "second" and "annual."

Hope you have a greg time participating with the Rhodia experiment. Congratulations on being selected, you are in superb company.

{Tammy} David, Next time I'll write "documenting the thirteenth semi-annual anti-journal festival" instead!

I love the layered complexity of your page. I'm sure that every time I look at it I will find something new.

that is so cool. I need to invent a new vocabulary to find different ways to say how cool that is.

Love this Tammy! You're such an inspiration!

I have been working on a cartography map of Amook Island, Alaska working with mixed media. My inspiration was "The Interimaginational Institute of Fantastical Exploration and Cartography" by Allison. Come look on my flickr page, harmes.sherry, and see. I will be making more, I'm sure. Thanks for the idea of using the frisket. It helps "corral" the watercolors to their own spaces as well, I see. Where did you get your watercolor moleskin? Hugs from Alaska.

i clicked on the Tumblr link, but i get the message that i don't have permission to access that page, even after i had logged in. is there something more to do, or is that page restricted just to the participants of the swap?

looks like a fun project. i'll be interested to find out what you think of the Rhodia pages after you've worked in that journal a bit longer. i've been wanting to try one out. thanks.

{Tammy}: Mo, sent you an email and updated the post with the correct link, sorry!

I just started art journaling this year- I am so excited about this unique idea. i have a terrible time with faces/ well, drawing people in any aspect- so, I am off to give this a try- and how fun it will be to have this in my journal. I am going to try a lot of the experiments you have listed! Wow! thanks.

Hi! A new fan from Pittsburgh. I love your blog! I am not really sure how I happened upon it as I have been reading your posts for, oh, an hour or so. Maybe on Pinterest (and yes I read your love/hate post too). Being so new to creating art, doodling and journaling I am like a sponge, taking in any and all inspiration I can find. And this blog has definitely been one that is easy for my pea brain to absorb. And I haven't even taken a look at your workshops yet! Thank you for sharing your talent!

Sew Happy to see you love sewing.
My swatches of fabrics I love and own - not sure what they would fill but it is all good. It makes me smile and that is a really good thing. Hope to sew a little later today. New curtains for my bedroom are on the list.
Look at bargello quilts for strip/block inspiration. Fabric like paint - you can never have enough!!
http://quiltville.com/scrapbargello.shtml just a sample These are fun to play with but I do a lot with simple 9-patch.

Just replaced my sewing machine, which was my mother's that she bought before I was born. I figured after 50+ years, with the tension constantly going, it was time. So now I have a new machine and a ton of sewing projects, but love the idea of saving 1 little swatch from each fabric.

Maureen Ward comments on A Love-Hate View of Pinterest

Maureen Ward — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:29:23 +0000

Hi,
I do hope you don't mind but I have posted a quote and a link from your page on facebook. My sister introduced me to Pinterest a couple of weeks ago and I started being concerned within a few days. I didn't like the way people were so avariciously collecting anything and everything they fancied. Like you I noticed that the original blogs were not given credit for the work and that I had to dig really deep to get to the original source. Their are a lot of sites on the web that have a lot of glossy images, but when you start to dig their is nothing worth looking at. If you do not like me posting your commendable article on my Facebook page then please let me know and I will take it down. Thanks M

Oh the yumminess! Love your photos so much! I'm inspired but can't do anything right now. Broke all my sewing machine needles yesterday. Have to get new ones tomorrow, I have a bag to finish!

Oh dear . . . if you've begun quilting it's the beginning of the end. That little cigar box will soon have so many samples in it that you'll be looking for a cabin trunk pretty soon! It's such addictive fun!

I found you via Pinterest and I am so glad I did. You have a wealth of information that is concise and done politely...Pinterest to me, is like reading magazine, tearing out favorite pages to read over and over again....and making placing it on the coffee table for others to enjoy and get to know you via your likes and dislikes..Pinterest shows what's in my heart....or heart's desire. Does that make sense ? Insert Doodle here. :-)

Andria comments on Step #716: Date Your Art

Andria — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:48:45 +0000

I like dating things too...the date stamp from the office store is awfully fun! I usually put the date I finish a page, which usually means the date I journal on it, as opposed to the date(s) I prepared the page.

deb comments on How Do You Draw?

I use a sketch pad with heavy paper.....i curl up on the couch with the TV on for background noise mostly and i sketch lightly with a pencil with my handy dandy must
have eraser as i never get it right the first time.....lol.........i can sit at my desk or at the table but i do my best work curled up on the couch...........sometimes i draw randomly.....but i do my best work when i have a picture in my head of what i want the finished piece to look like. If i can't see it in my mind's eye then i have more trouble (read more erasing) Once my pencil lines are set if i've erased alot i'll use graphite paper and trace the finished image onto a clean sheet then outline the lines with a black marker. THEN the fun begins....i get to color it. Right now i'm deep into colored pencils and just received my first set of Prisma color pencils.....I use markers sometimes if i need intense color in small spaces. I like to have the colors worked out before i begin coloring and have a scratch paper to work out the colors on......I want to expand into acrylic paints which i am doing a little at a time.......Thanks for asking!!! :)

iamrushmore comments on How Do You Draw?

iamrushmore — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:38:34 +0000

I think my answer to all these questions is yes. I don't draw with any regular practice. (and I don't draw because I'm not good at drawing, but I don't get good at drawing because I don't draw) but when I feel like drawing it's completely random how/when/where and with what. and I keep ruining my writing implements because I draw over wet acrylics or oil pastels or any number of other materials that kill pens. I'm too damn impatient!
