More Letter Love


I've been slowly poking away at my Letter Love Art Journalling Class. Wanted to share a couple of pieces with you. The first is an exercise in lettering, the second a Journal Page using mixed media-Water based  Markers. Touch Twin Markers, watercolours and pan pastels



I have a LONG way to go I think with regard to creating anything truly gorgeous, but I'm having a great time exploring a different way to express myself! The LIttle Girl with Rose  is a fun new stamp from Impression Obsession! I think she's perfect for Journalling. Anyway, I'm looking forward to continue on with my Letter Love Classes and will keep you posted!!! Joanne is offering a second course beginning in April. The beauty of her classes is that once you sign up, you can take forever to finish, so once I've completed this course and an online photography course that I'm starting April 1st, i'm going to take that one too! She's an amazing teacher and the course thus far has been informative and fun!

Letter Love! My first official Journal Page


I think it was last week sometime that I mentioned that I was starting an Art Journal Lettering Class. I totally wish there were more hours in a day, because I am running WAY behind in the lessons. To date, I've completed five and I think the class is on lesson Seventeen today! Our Assignment was to create lettering within grids. I'm pretty pleased with the result, but I know I have a long way to go to improve this technique



I've learned to be a little loose when I create and that it's okay not to be precise and neat.........oh and fix mistakes by fattening the letters!!!!

I also ordered some Pan Pastels and REALLY LOVE THEM!!!! I've never worked with Pastels before, so this was new to me and Fun!!!!

Between using my Touch Twin Markers, Black Pens and Pastels, I think my first attempt isn't too bad

I'm SOOOOO looking forward to the next lessons and all the things that I'll learn from our fabulous teacher!

Love experiencing new things!!!
