more of my Life Art Journal pages

Hello friends,

how you've been?. I took a rest, yet again but today I'm back sharing some more of my Life Art Journal pages. These I done for quite some time already. Nonetheless, each one of them are dear to my heart. Do enjoy :).

I LOVE dream catchers and I AM a day dream believer :). 

And yes, I am  a boho girl. 

I saw a girl wearing a nice crochet dress on Pinterest and I decided to draw her. Click here to see the original pin. Don't you love her dress?.

I don't quite like this one. I had glued paper doilies on the page before coloring, and the page bulked up. And I feel bad for the sad bunny in the cup, I can't quite capture it :). 

This one was me, sitting on the moon looking down the road less traveled.

I love doodling laces, this one was done with a blue pigment pen.

I did this one, imagining that I am a writer :).

I decoupaged the roses from tissue paper.

This one is my favorite. Something we all could relate to :). It tells us that we are all artist at heart, doesn't matter what we do everyday ... we are merely an artist for as long as you love doing it. 

Like gardening and keeping journals;

or just taking pictures;

or collecting jewelry;

or sewing;

Most importantly, do things that make us happy. Yes, doing nothing counts too, LOL. Which I do a lot by the way :). I drew all these pages while sitting quietly, sipping tea or coffee at cafes. Over a few days, I think. A small sketch with pencil a day and then later colored them at home. Yes, you can do this too :).

Have a great week. I leave you with lots of hugs. See you soon!.

more sketches of Life Art Journal

Dear friends,
Today I'm sharing a few drawings I did at the end of last year. I first sketched/drew them in pencil, sitting alone at cafes. Yeah I did most of the sketches while sipping coffee (or tea) and sometimes, people-watching!. I colored them all at home :).

Yeah, that was Arthur questioning :).

This one symbolizes me, breaking free from my ever-so-serious-scientific-world into a colorful, happier of the art-heaven. Butterfly wings simply mean the changes I'm enjoying now :).

This one inspired by a paint advertisement I saw in a magazine and a quote from Beatrix Potter.

Can you spot a pair of eyes and a nose here?. Hard to see because I got them all too smudgy & runny :).

I LOVE to draw plants since I'm not good at gardening:).

A reminder to myself that I don't need to be heard. I do things because I'm having fun doing them :).

I saw a wall decor of porcelain plates on Pinterest, that triggered me drawing these fun frames :).

I'm sharing the ideas behind my drawings, hope they gives you inspiration on how you can create yours. Don't hesitate putting a small idea on paper. It's okay to start small :). I too, carry a tiny notebookwhenever I go out doing my daily things outside. Try it :). HUGS.

P/S : If you like to learn how to do watercolor sketches in your journal, come visit us @ Scrappingville for one of the 'Life Art Journal' classes :). 

Happy New Year!

Dear friends,

Happy 2013, from my cats and me! :). 
I like to share some happy pages from my 'Life Art Journal' today. We're starting 'Life Art Journal' classes this month @ Scrappingville. Sensational!. Check out here for exciting details and class schedule. If you're in town, come join us:). 

So, enjoy; [I must warn you, this post is photo-heavy :)]. 

I felt playful with this page. I made little windows, so we could all 'peek' at my passion, so to speak :). 

Here is the next page. 

I doodled the frames based on my favorite transparent stamps.

I used white gel pen to doodle doilies on kraft paper, then pasted on the pages like so. [The idea came when I was making snowflakes for Newtown school kids :)].

It's almost midnight now. Too late for coffee :). Thanks for staying with me till the last photo, phew. Till next week, LOVE &  HUGS. 

a peek inside my sketchbook

Hello friends,

Happy Holidays!. We had been blessed with great sunny mornings this past week. So happy to see the brightest blue sky, almost crystalline despite some patches of storm clouds in the afternoon. I had fun filling up more pages of new sketches too. 

Here's a peek inside my 'Life Art Journal'. [And ramblings in between pages too].

What I believe about life & what I believe in.

Skills I want to acquire & things I want to learn.

Material things I enjoy.

Is it a white Christmas for you this year?. That must be fun :). Have a happy week with friends & family. HUGS.
