Hello beautiful people !

I am back with a new fun video for Strumpet Stencils. You may know that our cool team is starting a collaborative project of traveling art journals. We each create one and send it to someone that will create on it before sending to someone else etc. I can not wait to see what my amazing teammates will create in mine <3

I created a 2-part project where I share with you both the pages then the cover. A variety of papers and sizes were used for my journal and went for a canvas cover.

For my pages, I used my Gelli plate but not only. I really hope you’ll enjoy watching my process (and if you do, feel free to let me know by commenting and sharing it with your friends)

Here is the video:

Hello beautiful Beans !

I am on the Wonderstrumpet blog again today with a new creative project.

I hope you will enjoy watching me create an art journal page from start to finish. It will probably won’t make sense to you but as you know, art journaling is a very subjective practice. I thought it would be good to share with you a page done for me without overthinking it (“will it make sense to my audience ?” is a question I usually ask myself over and over).

Sarah’s stencils are full of amazing symbols that can be used in so many different ways and interpretations.

Good morning !

For this new video project, I decided to paint what I needed: a reminder of sorts. You know by now that I love adding symbols to my art. For you who look at it, as well as for me.

Here is the video:

Stencils can truly be very versatile ! I love stamping with mine, for example. And you can be bold or subtle with them. That’s what I wanted to share with you in one project.

Hey guys !

I have a new video for you. I share with you how to use your Primary Elements pigments to turn them into a spray.

ColourArte has a ton of pigments available for you, and it is my favorite product ever. I can do so many different things with it 🙂

You know I love my sprays and stencils 😉

Here is the video:

I hope it was useful 🙂 If you decide to make some, I would love to see your results ?

I was told (in no specific order) that I am “too sensitive” “too emotional” “too intense” “too shy” “too loud”… And it was not a compliment but a way to diminish my reactions. Well… as an INFJ and a type 5  (in the enneagram) I guess that yes, I am all these (and so much more). Knowing to balance my feelings feels like an impossible task, even now.

Yesterday, something happened in my close family that left me still in a bit of chock today. Nothing dramatic but still, I had to process it in my journal this morning.

Let the feelings sink in

In hindsight, one of the turning point in my life was 2003. I was heartbroken. My Soul family had abandoned me. I was living on my own for the first time (I was 18 and starting my University studies). I was empty inside, feeling like I had nothing else to give.

For so long, I ragingly fought the bad emotions swimming in my head. But it was like trying to go countercurrent. It lasted for years. Until that moment I decided to stop fighting it. To acknowledge the presence of an emotion I was not fond of, to welcome the lesson(s) it was bringing at that specific moment, and then let it go.

I believe that we all need a few tools to help us process things. So we don’t drown in our own feelings. Whatever works for you. May it be seeing a therapist, painting your heart out, writing the shit out of it, photography. Don’t let it govern your life so much.

Today, I am taking my own advices as it is one of those days. I want to either crawl back into bed until tomorrow or put my entire body under water in my bathtub. But life needs me to tackle it so it won’t happen. I got this ! And do you.
