Hey there everyone! I hope you are staying warm today. Michael and I just got back from a drive, which turned into a winter storm while we were out. Brrrrr. I'm glad to be back home safe and cozy.
I've got three things to share with you today! First, my copy of Featuring Magazine arrived, and I'm so excited to see the article about my studio!!! I love how it turned out!!!
There is also a sneak peek about the article on Featuring's Facebook page here. I am really loving looking through this whole magazine! It's got articles on all different mixed media artists; and the full color photos are beautiful! One of the articles is about the annual Top 2000 blog party, which is hosted by Marit Barentsen, and features one of my pieces along with other artists' including my friends Linda and Glenda. So much fun! If you want to know more about Featuring Magazine, click here.
Thanks so much to Founder Marit, and the staff at Featuring, for doing this article so beautifully! I am honored!
The second thing I have to share is this week's Multi-Day spread in my Book of Days.
I was inspired by this pic I found on the internet...
I drew the butterfly with pencil first; then adhered the text collage bits around the drawing. The black outline and body are done with Golden Liquid Acrylic. The insides are mostly Letraset Aquamarkers, with a little acrylic paint mixed in.
I am sooooo enjoying the process of making these multi-day spreads. It's fun to think of different ways to make room for four days of journaling. Kinda like putting a puzzle together.
Lastly, I finally got around to making a place upstairs to display my art journals! I've been wanting to do that for months now. I had a shabby antique bookcase downstairs that was holding boxes and other "junk." I brought that upstairs, cleaned it up and put it in the bedroom. Now it holds almost all of my completed art journals...
After all the time I spent filling them up, I love having a special place for them.
Have a wonderful Sunday my friends! Thanks so much for visiting!

Isn't he gorgeous? I love the color of his wings, and the striped antennae too!
Here's how my spread turned out...

I will leave you with a picture taken just now, of my friend Willie. He is enjoying the snowy day from the comfort of a warm scraproom...
Have a wonderful Sunday my friends! Thanks so much for visiting!
