I'm moving right along in my "Teesha Style" collage journal. I'm working on several pages at a time. First, I prep four pages, front and back, next….I do the collage work on all eight pages and lastly, I finish each page with paint, ink and pencil. Working this way really seems to speed up the process as I can do all of the collage work in one sitting and utilize many of the magazine clippings that I planned for use and then decided otherwise….I find a use for them somewhere while they are still fresh in my mind. Here is my latest journal page. I really like the way that this page turned out. I love the colors and the wormhole pattern used for her hair and tree roots. Also, an unexpected feature is the way that the Prismacolor pencil bled through the white pen used to write the word "When"…. giving it an ombre look. What a happy accident! Completed journal page Journal page before embellishing Well, until next time! Hugs, Ginny

I just bought a new journal to work in and decided to dedicate it to Teesha Moore inspired collages. It is a Strathmore 9" X 12" Mixed Media Visual Journal with 140 lb. vellum finish paper and is larger than any of my other journals. It will be perfect for collaging! I really had fun making these two journal pages and can't wait to make more! The process of selecting the papers to use in the college really appeals to my creative design sensibilities. A little known fact about me is that I have always had a desire to be an interior designer...I love to mix patterns, textures and colors. The second most fun thing that I like to do is drawing patterns and textures... making lots of tiny dots, drawing flourishes, shading with pencils and I can't forget the lettering.... I was a graphic artist once and could probably letter in my sleep! I guess when you put all of this together you can see why Teesha's style of collage really appeals to me. It is a mix of everything that I love to do! I hope that you enjoy my latest creations! I will walk you through the process in my next post and share many tips that I leaned from Teesha in her on-line class "Mermaid Circus." Teesha has graciously given her permission to share her journaling techniques. She states that "it has always been my goal to get as many folks as I can on-board with journaling. I think that we can make this world a better place if we are all creating everyday." Don't you agree with Teesha? I sure DO! Until next time! Hugs, Ginny

Today we're going to explore art journaling pages that incorporate a strong image from a magazine. I have to admit that this is a type of art journaling I rarely do. But it's wildly popular. And my favorite master of this technique is Teesha Moore. These are two of her intensely colored, doodled, and collaged masterpieces: Aren't they amazing!? Be sure to check out her blog. I'm hoping that I'll have the opportunity to take a class with her one of these days at her events ArtFest and/or JournalFest! Wouldn't that be awesome? There are many, many ways to approach...

"The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses." Soon it will be Spring in Florida. The oak trees are dropping their leaves like crazy…getting ready to put out new ones and my African Iris put out one bloom….trying to get an early start. I can't wait! This has been a really cold winter for Floridians. I know that you Northerners would probably think that it is bathing suit weather compared your temperatures but we have a damp cold that chills a body to the bone. Anyway, I am ready to put away my winter clothes in exchange for shorts, sleeveless tops…and flip flops!!!! Here is the latest journal page in my "Teesha" journal. I guess you could say that the garden was definitely on my mind…not initially but that's how it ended up. When I first start a page I seldom plan a story or theme…it just sort of evolves and then when it presents itself…I choose the quote. Some people call this tuning into the universe or being guided by your muse. Whatever it is that guides me…the universe, a muse or something else…I give thanks! It is this part of the creative process with it's unexpected twists and turns that gives me the most pleasure when making my art. Until next time! Hugs, Ginny

This week's tutorial try-out was: Teesha Moore's Fun Drawing Lesson If you have ever stopped by Teesha Moore's blog, then you know that she is wildly creative and a powerhouse of inspiration! When I stumbled upon her fun drawing worksheet, I knew I'd have to give it a try... A page from my sketchbook. One of the questions I am most often asked is, "What in the world were you thinking?" "Where do you get your ideas?". So, I thought it might be fun to give you a step-by-step look into what was going through my head as I played with Teesha's drawing worksheet in my sketchbook... 1. Actually, not a whole lot was going through my head at this point... I just thought she looked like she needed a bird's nest on her head. 2. The bird's nest made me think of cats (hungry for birds, of course), and I thought that this drawing style would probably be pretty cool for a cat face. 3. I started thinking about other things cats eat, but at the same time I was thinking about my crazy haired ladies and how this technique might translate into one of them. 4. I realized that although there were some fish in the last drawing, I still hadn't satisfied my need for drawing fish. While I was drawing them, I started thinking about the fish in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". Well, basically that's a quick glimpse into my typical train of thought. One thing leads to another... Sometimes it makes sense, sometimes it doesn't... Aren't you completely horrified and disappointed glad that you asked?!? After I finished this page in my sketchbook I thought, "These would be fun coloring pages". So, this morning I printed out some copies and started playing! Did you try this tutorial? If so, please link up below. (I can't wait to see!) And, please be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post for next week's tutorial! Next week is the last Tutorial Try-Out (for now). In honor of that, I chose a tutorial that is similar to (but different from) what appears to have been the most popular tutorial (Easy Watercolor Portraits from 4-23-2013). Next week's tutorial is: The Ambitious Procrastinator's DIY Paint By Numbers **a note about next week's tutorial:** In her tutorial, Nikki uses the photo editing program picnik. Picnik is no longer available, but you can substitute the free online program picmonkey instead. (Just be sure to use the "focal soften" tool.) Picmonkey is available for free here.

took a break from journaling and now I've become obsessed with it again.
I am having so much fun making my own "Teesha Moore" style Paper Dolls for my Art Journal pages. I have always been a big fan of Tessha's style and recently joined her new online club The Artstronauts Club The altered collages are made using the photos of teenagers in Harajuku, Tokyo published in the "Fruits" books by Japanese photographer Shoichi Aoki. Cut, trace, collage and then adding your own doodles you can create these fun and original Paper Dolls! For even more Inspiration check out 50 Coolest Harajuku Looks of 2013 — Straight from Tokyo Changed the skirt & pants with collaged scrapbook paper. Put a "new" face on her and doodled in some fun pink hair! Love yourself first! I scanned in and saved my paper dolls so I can print them in any size and use them over and over again in different projects - like this!
