I know… I have not shared anything here in quite a long time now. That sensation that my words don’t matter was stronger than the voice telling me to write in this space of mine.
Are you still there?

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you might already know that I am now the proud member of the Design Team for the stencil brand ArtistCellar. Stencils are one of the few supplies I use on every single project I create. Whether it is a painting or in my art journals.
I came across Lisa’s business a decade ago because they were the only supplier I could find that was selling Stewart Gills paints.

So far, I have three projects on the blog:

• My Grimoire cover
• A mixed media painting (available for sale here)
• A crystal grid plate

I am posting every other Monday. My next project is scheduled to go live on March 30th ?

I am so happy to be back to an art journaling video for you guys.
This week, I share with you how Frankie came to be. I am part of the first lucky group of artists who received 3 randomly chosen stencils. Sarah Trumpp’s shop is filled with goodness so I had no doubt it would be a great bunch. By the way, if you’re interested in trying to make something with the same three stencils we had, Sarah created a pack at a special price for you.

Enjoy the video:

As you can see, I don’t really plan ahead. I start with an intention (in this case, having fun with the stencils) and go to town. Seeing how a page or a painting unfolds is one of the best feelings ever. I am an instrument more than anything else…

I am happy to share with you a new {Painting In Motion} Nixie for you.

Grappling my emotions and transforming them into something I can see is the best way for me to cope, in general.

In this video, I share with you a started canvas with a very ugly face sketched on it and how I turned it around to create a Nixie.

Here is the video:

Symbols are a big part of my creative process. And symbols are very subjective: a wing can mean something to me that would differ from what it means to you. That’s one of the things I love about them. I used a lot of them in this painting and afterward, felt so free from all the emotions that were tugging at my heart in this very moment.

Hey guys !

I am back with a new video project for Strumpet Stencils. For this month’s project, I share with you how I created a birthday card. Just so you know: I wish I was a card maker. I see all these beautiful handmade cards and hope I would be able to create something like this but… no. I still try, though. It is the intention that counts, right ?

I invite you to go over the Strumpet Stencil blog for more details.

Hey guys ! Welcome in this second video about creating your own art journal. In this one, I share with you how I decorated my canvas cover, both the outside and the inside.

I love the Strumpet Stencils for their diversity and quirkiness. They fit me perfectly 😉

Enjoy the video:

I love painting with my fingers, it gives me more control when blending my colors together. I kept my use of the stencils pretty easy because I wanted a simple cover.

I only have two signatures in this journal, and you can watch me create those pages on the first video. You can see my sewing is totally wonky: it is what happens when your hands give up on you. But I decided it was giving my journal some more personality 😉
