My 16-page journal - inspired by teesha moore - is complete!!
I made a little video to show you all of my favourite parts.
I'm pretty happy with this one, overall. There are some pages that I like more than others, but all in all, it's a great piece of work that I'm very proud of :)

WIWO Wednesday - It's What I'm Working On.
So if you've been reading my recent posts, I've been working hard on a 16-page book inspired by Teesha Moore.
It's been fun and challenging coming up with that many different way of expressing myself. As always, I'm in a major rush to get it done. I'm more of a "finished product" person than a "process" person. Sometimes this can be good if you're working on a deadline, but most of the time I feel like I miss out on some things as I whip by them in my process...
Anyway, I decided to do a big mandala for the front cover. I am still working on it, so this really is an in-progress post. I've designed it so that it is not centered and so that it flows over to the inside flap and back cover of the book as well.
Here is a sneak peek:
I'm trying to decide if I should outline each different element in black to really define it. I think that the colours look a bit yucky like this and that a black outline would crisp them up and make the entire design pop.
What do you think?

WIWO Wednesday - It's What I'm Working On
Last Friday I showed you some designs and a video from one of my artist idols, Teesha Moore.
What I DIDN'T tell you is that I've been watching her videos (which are pretty much the same as free online courses) and following her steps to create my own beautifully bizarre images.
I've enjoyed exploring Teesha's style of art so much that I decided to make a 16-page book inspired by one of her videos and create every page in this style. It's only about half finished so far, but I wanted to give you a look at what I've been working on.
Today, tomorrow and Friday I will be showing the pages that are "done."
I'm SO SO SO in love with these works! I really hope that you like them too and that they inspire you to watch Teesha's videos and create your own pieces of art.

Have you been wondering where to start when working on your postcards?
I have recently watched the entire series from Teesha Moore on how she assembles her amazing journal pages and I thought that a lot of the ideas are so postcard-friendly
I decided to post the video below on here since she is a major inspiration for my own work. All of her videos can be found at http://www.teeshamoore.com/.
She takes these two pages from start to finish in her overall series, so they're really interesting to watch. I really thought that watching her go step-by-step was great, since I am in awe of some of her other pages.
I love how she fills her pages right up and makes them look energetic without being overcrowded.
Sit back and enjoy the process, Lovelies :)
