Loving the Chaos

I completed the next two lessons in Dina Wakley's Ordered Chaos class. These are a few of my favorites. Yes, they are still out of control, but we will be going back to bring order to them. I hope....

Chaos Is Good

When I discovered that Dina Wakley was offering a new class called Ordered Chaos I thought, "I can relate to chaos." I immedialy signed up.  I had so much fun creating these even though I was covered in paint up to my elbows. I even got paint on my face. I can't wait to see what's in the next class video.

If your interested in signing up for the class, and don't mind getting your hands dirty it's being presented by Jeanne Oliver and is worth the cost.

These are a few of my pieces creating chaos.  Enjoy!

Art Journaling Class

In August my sister and I had the pleasure of attending an all day class with Dina Wakley. Our mission for the day was to complete our own journal pages. This included binding the pages into a book.

For the past two years I've been art journaling with Donna Downey. Since Dina's technique is very different from Donna's it was fun to just do something different. When journaling with Donna the fatter your journal is the better. This journal is flatter with lots of layers that allow for lots of writing making your journal ever evolving as you add your words to the pages.

For this book we focused on layers using paint, texture paste, stencils, stamps, and paint pens. Since I am very messy when it comes to my art I was covered in color up to my elbows, and as you can see from the pictures below we used a lot of colors.
