My Creative Space - Mixed Media on Paper

A week is over again, and it's time to show you, what's going on in my creative space. What can I say? It was a very creative week, and I'm still re-discovering paper and the many fun ways to create on it and with it! The results?


Another Water spread at "The Elements of Art Journaling" by Effy Wild - my first almost only in acrylics!

A lily in oil pastels for the

Illustration Friday theme "Obsession"

A sketch for the

August Sketchbook Challenge theme "Everyday Objects"

Two mixed media pieces for the

Being Creative July theme "Summer"

A small one

and an A3 one

(Especially happy, how this turned out! :)

Now, I'm at a very meditative stage with this mixed media piece, slowly emerging out of loads of different impulses

I'm happy with all this, still having one big issue though: new impulses from all sides seem to swap me in a effervescent ocean of inspiration without any shores and islands. Thank goodness, the challenges have got deadlines! But often I'm too late to participate. For now, it's really hard for me to surface from the swirls and streams of ideas and get to the actual creating. Any suggestions?

My Creative Space - Earth

These are my first ever art journal pages devoted to Earth, the first element we are working with on the e-course "Elements of art Journaling" by Effy Wild. Feeling like on an intense spiritual retreat there! Love the way Effy is leading us and all the loving and inspiring community!

My Creative Space - First Steps in Art Journaling

These are the stages of preparing a notebook to be my first ever art journal (whatever it means) :)

Have never thought, I'd return to paper - the medium of my childhood. Thanks to Effy Wild's generosity I'm participating in her e-course "The Elements of Art Journaling".  Registration is still open here


Having dual feelings about what I'm doing right now:
- thrilled to learn and do something new, to meet Effy and other sweet creative ladies, to forget everything over playing with my stash,
- guilty for the "waist" of supplies, time, energy just to play and grow (seemingly nothing for my classes, for sale or to wear) ...
Don't like the last ones and don't think they have any alibi to crap up my well deserved fun, but they just show me something I thought to be long gone: the fear of "wasting" and lacking of something afterwards...
Back to "work" now :)
