Projectified

Remember how I said I needed projects and direction? Well, I gots me some.

I know how some people believe that you declare your needs and intentions to the Universe and the Universe will provide (like the DH yearning after Rock Band and then getting a free copy from his buddy after Christmas), well from the moment I posted about needing direction, ideas and opportunities have been falling into place.

I got some clarity about what direction(s) I want to go in creatively this year, and I am looking forward to moving forward...one step at a time.

One of the first steps, Project Deconstruction: Color-Beyond the Basic with Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen. It starts Sunday, and it looks incredible -jam packed with good stuff. Even just the warm up discussions have been informative and inspiring.

Art journal page playing around with "quin" colours, as inspired by one of the pre class discussions (and you are correct "irregardless" is not really, a real word, being a double negative and all, but irregardless, I like it. ;)



Another hotspot for art related projects and fun is over at Willowing's ning. There's a paint & pass journal project, ATC swap, challenges, and a really cool Self Acceptance book project that is open for submissions until Feb. 20th. She is also doing a portrait class which starts soon called Fabulous Faces (unfortunately can't do that one right now too).

And there's more...more, more, more. But I am running out of time to blog right now. I just wanted to share a couple of the things I am finding to get excited about, and the fact that I am not stuck spinning my wheels, but am happily in forward motion once again.
