Always learning & growing as an artist and christian

 Happy New Year All!
  I love learning new things.
So......
I have taken up
journaling and doodling...
And I am starting with
Birdies and Words...
I am doing a Journal workshop over at

Workshop 1 by Pam Carriker
Recycled Journal Page

The best thing about this is
it is FREE!
It is a video class
Short and Sweet...
Just right for my attention span! LOL
So take a minute to stop
by and check it out!

I really enjoy doing watercolor
and ink.  I used a new Pigma Micron
.05 Archival ink in the color Sepia.
LOV IT!

This is one of my first attempts in my journal.
I titled it,
"Winters Shadow"

Two of my favorite colors
are periwinkle blue & lavender purple.

The Journal Sketchbook I purchased is
from Hobby Lobby
http://www.hobbylobby.com/

Great Price!
Natures Sketch
it is 25% cotton and 130lb paper weight
It takes watercolor paint great &
acyrlic too!
Next...
Titled, "Whisper of Love"

I am considering printing some cards
with these.
What do you think?
Hear is a picture of my first doodle in
the journal.
My word of the year is
 Grace

Titled, "Grace"
 Hearts and Love
in the anticipation of Valentines Day.
Grace:
“unmerited favor” or “the free gift only from God"
Blessings bestowed as a gift, freely
 and never as a merit for work
we have performed. Grace = Peace...
 Grace = Forgiving even when it is unmerited.
 GRACE IS THE PERFECTION
 OF GODS LOVE. GRACE AND PEACE for
YOU ALL
 This Year!
