not just for Christmas: I hate not having my old glasses anymore - I loved them. These new frames arent too different but they are bigger because I now have dual lenses. Meaning I wear them all the t...
Last night I started a new journal. This is a BIG DEAL for me because never, ever have I finished a journal before. Not a notebook for school, an art journal, nothing. This might be because (a) I hav...
Ive been calling my course with Flora Bowley Brave Intuitive You which is actually the name of her book and website - the e-course is actually called Bloom True. But you knew what I meant, right? Its...
Im going to TRUST the talent and advice that Flora gave us - these layers will probably barely be seen in the end work. This, to me is a good thing, because I feel like Ive ruined both of my canvasse...

last night I was working through the latest lesson in Hello Soul Hello Business. I dont know if it was because I was extremely tired (hello 2am finish to the Australian Open tennis final!) but I coul...
one of the things I have been doing this month is keeping a journal of sorts - it first began in the Pathfinder course and has continued on. I dont always write every day and some day I do pages and ...

I was writing in my journal today about what I think it means to have courage. As I was writing, this popped out and I realised it is very much my mantra as a person and an artist.
This is NOT A fishing expedition I promise, its a question we have asked ourselves in the Hello Soul Hello Business e-course. I answered mine (but cant tell you what it is....) because now I need YOU...
this was done while watching the Australian Open tennis on Monday - yep, courtside! Materials: Moleskine Volant journal, watercolour, big brush markers, sharpie marker, white gelly roll pen.
