In our (a group of artists online) neverending way to work our way through Mary Todd Beam’s Celebrate Your Creative Self, we have been working on some white space in paintings.

I finally received my book – Paper Transformed by Julia Andrus in the mail.  The more I read about marbling, the more I was sure I wanted to use some of the other supplies I have around to marble additional papers.   I have mordant mixed up so that is not a problem.  Both boys had [...]

The last few days in Simple Abundance have talked about happiness – our inability to find it within ourself, our inability to get happy ourselves, the source of happiness being outside our control.
