You Have To Be Brave

Wow. I am blown away by the response I’ve received to my latest art journal share. I’ve had quite a few emails and comments here as well as many via others social media outlets.

I’ve always believed it is important to share your struggles, whether it be regarding depression or anything else. My theory, as grandiose as it may seem, is that by sharing my troubles, I might be able to help others to know that they are not alone. Even if my words/art resonate with only one person, that is still a difference. It can be scary to open up and admit that you are not ok, but the amazing response I received makes it all worth it.

We are not alone in this world. There are many, many of us struggling to make it through, and we need to support each other if we’re ever going to make it.

Thank you.

Inspired Deck Swap

Earlier this year, I took part in an awesome mixed media project called the Inspiration Deck Swap. It was hosted by Jess of In Search Of Dessert, and it was awesome. Quick summary – decorate a deck of cards, including inspirational quotes, and send them off to Jess. You will then get a full deck back, made up of creations from different artists. I love what I received, so when I saw that Jess was doing it again, I couldn’t resist the chance to jump in.

Here’s a peek at just the first stage of my deck this time round – I’ve adhered book text, and gotten rather ink happy lol Next stage will be some stamping…not sure what else, but I’m having fun!

If you want to join in, please do! Head over to Jess’s blog for full info and sign up details.

Til next time,

Let It Go

Isn't this art piece from Ruan Hoffmann awesome? I love the simplicity of it, and of course the great message. I think I need to make my own version for in the studio.

Am I Really?

 

Ever ask yourself this?

Reading is sexy

I stumbled across this quote from Robert Pattinson recently, and must admit, that he thinks this way is so much hotter than a sparkly teenage vampire. Just sayin…

"If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colourful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads." – Robert Pattinson

So go, now, go read a book!
