At
first I think to myself this is a bad idea. You don't have your snow
shoes on. But then Nut and I look at each other and say, "we've got this".
We didn't. The snow was up to my thigh at one point, then improved.
We kept going. In places it was up to my knee. </div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
Now if your thinking about Nut, she was alright but looking up at me screaming, "Abort!". </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
So
as I turn to leave I couldn't not see Nut. She was no where. I'm
looking in trees, down the trail, and even in front of me. Nothing. I
start screaming for her I feel something scratching my leg, as I look down
there she was. She had positioned herself between my feet to not fall
in the snow.</div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
We
finally make it to the road. Nut only fell in one more time. We
survived. We came home and I gave her a whole treat. She's a happy
girl. </div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
I got myself an orange. I look over and there she is.....fast a sleep. Snoring as loud as an old man.</div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
1. Me</div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
2. My little Nut the #shihtzu</div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
3. I'm wearing #stegerboots and they give me courage because I'm not cold. </div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
4. The trail on our way out. This is the point where Nut and I see salvation and think we won't die after all. </div>
<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<br /></div>
note ::: no pictures on Nut covered in snow because....well...PETA scares me. I'm a good pet owner, ask anyone.

I had some old bingo cards and I the prompt for<a href="https://arttothe5th.squarespace.com/journal/2015/1/15/the-original-documented-life-project-january-31-challenge" target="_blank"> DLP was What Lies Beneath</a>. So I thought I would just paint on these and then make copies to put in my journal. I really love<a href="http://braveintuitiveyou.com/blog/" target="_blank"> Flora Bowley</a> and I have been so inspired by her work. I wanted to do something in her style and see if I could find a place there. This was really difficult for me to do. I really want to take one of her classes. She is teaching this year in the <a href="http://www.willowing.org/life-book-2015/" target="_blank">Life Book 2015</a> and I can't wait. <br />

Sometimes I don't feel like making a whole page but playing around making backgrounds works wonders. Also, I sometimes feel ready to lay something down but not feeling the background. It is nice to have a few of these around ready to go.Leacayoungarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06171711736488113377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549104368194997061.post-43071727646123847902015-02-09T05:00:00.000-08:002015-02-09T05:00:02.994-08:00The Grass is Green -- Art Journal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was feeling cold so I drew a bundled up and cozy girl. I read on Instagram about a woman who is sketching 100 faces this year to brush up on this skill. After reading that I decided to draw faces a couple of times a week. They are not my strong point and they do not come easy to me. Practice, practice, practice....right?!Leacayoungarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06171711736488113377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3549104368194997061.post-86829032819482522812015-02-06T05:00:00.000-08:002015-02-06T05:00:05.648-08:00More Sketching -- faces<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am loving intuitive art lessons. It has really been helping me get out of the box a bit. I first layered acrylic paints, then scraped gesso over the top, then I looked for shapes to build on and came up with a woman, an angel, and a chimney sweep guy. Not exactly my style but I had a great time playing and just letting my instincts flow.<br />

This week I have been working in my sketchbook. When my husband is off work I can't lock myself in my craftroom. At night when we are watching tv I sketch. I feel it is the perfect compromise. And I really need to work on FACES...they terrifying me. The more draw them the less intimidating they become. <br />

My husband and I were in Costco loading up on fruits and vegetables. We like to buy items that will last a while since we live out in the middle of nowhere without a grocery store. We do have a Chevron but unless you love prepackaged food it is not the place to shop. We like to buy oranges because they really hold up. These here need to be eaten which was no problem. Anyway, they had these Cara Cara oranges. I had never heard of them but had a good feeling about them. In fact, I was so sure about this purchase I grabbed two huge Costco bags of these puppies. They are delicious. The meat inside reminds me of blood oranges. They are very sweet and juicy and as we all can agree that is why you buy oranges. <br />
<br />
This week I thought they would be the perfect subject for an exploration since I am totally and completely in love with them. I keep them in this bucket on my vintage refrigerator. I decided to leave them there and photograph them in there.<br />
<br />
The above photo the colors came out different than the rest. I am not sure why but I will guess it has to something with the light.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So part of exploring with my camera I like to zoom in on the tiny details that I might not normally pay attention to. Make them the star attraction--like the handle in this shot. I left the tip of the oranges in the frame to add more color.<br />

Here I focused on the edge of the bucket but I did not love this shot but in the end decided to include it because I need to learn from each shot. <br />

This was in our <a href="http://www.willowing.org/life-book-2015/" target="_blank">Life Book 2015</a> lesson this week but she has a similar <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDWzefmg38k" target="_blank">tutorial on YouTube </a>if you are interested. I think I will do more of these, it was quite fun. I think I might use this as a warm up activity from time to time just to get the creative juices flowing.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Art journaling is such an easy way to have a creative release. You can start small and even stay small or you can slowly add to what you already have. Most people already have what they need to get started. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">First I thought we could start with some definitions. I have a sketch journal but I mostly do a mixed media journal. </span></span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's get started....</span></span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Pick a journal -- there are so many to choose from but I would recommend to find one you love--if you love it, you will come back to it</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Find a medium you would like to start with ( I started with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Derwent-Drawing-Pencils-Inktense-Watercolor/dp/B000PD3M8E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1423069598&sr=8-2&keywords=inktense+pencils" target="_blank">watercolor pencils</a>)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Gather supplies from what you already have </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/feed/group/72640" target="_blank">Follow blogs</a> that will inspire you</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Join free Facebook groups for inspiration -- just search art journal groups</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">6. <a href="http://thetravelingpalace.blogspot.com/p/art-journal-365.html" target="_blank">Take a class</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">7.
Always remember that art journals are low pressure. You do not have to
be an artist. Do not look at the art as a critic. Express yourself.
Breathe. See the beauty in each page. Finish each page. Do not abandon
the page even if you have to step away and return to it later, finish
it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">8. I started posting daily prompts I follow them loosely
because I like to let things flow. Sometimes I start with a word or a
quote and follow that as I create but sometimes I need something more
and that is why I have this list. Every little bit helps. </span></span><br />
