While immersing myself deeper into the realms of art and creativity i decided to start my own small art collection. Having grown up in a blue collar family i always thought that collecting art is something for wealthy people. Could i be more wrong? I’m happy about my decision and bought my first piece from an independent artist yesterday. It feels good and motivating.

The idea of art altars is so inspiring! Thank you!

Hi Tracy:

I just love how when your critic gives you a hard time about something (art journaling) you find a work around that allows you to be creative, and feed your muse inspiration by reading something that speaks to her. That tray sounds wonderful! If you feel moved, you might go back to the inner critic exercises in Freeing the Muse and Art Journaling 101 (they are different.)

Happy Creating!
Amy

I love the idea of an art altar and this will likely by my first tackle. I have tried the art journaling and find it difficult for me; it’s the old critic saying ‘if the page is in the book, it had better be worthy’. lol Oddly enough I moved away from that and right now am playing with mixed media re-purposed plastic containers and jars to make bowls, vases and what-nots. My favorite was reusing the balsa wood tray that held some holiday cheese! I focus on the fun and if one project isn’t working, move on to something else. Your inspirational words always seem to arrive when I have stepped away too long, mired in other responsibilities. Thank you!

Hi Sandra:

Oh your art practice sounds like a lot of fun! I’m so thrilled that you are exploring and not letting the inner critic get in your way! It is amazing the way that the journal takes it all in. I love that about it too.
Happy creating! XO Amy

My usual medium is art journaling. I love it,everything goes in art journaling.
It feeds my soul and I often say I have more heart than talent. Thats the best part,not letting the limitation of my ideas of talent prevent me from creating.
Currently it’s all about faces or hearts in my art journal. I like working on atc cards and on those I am mixing fabric,markers and paper.
