I’m in the process of making another journal. This is the little girl I drew a couple weeks ago. I still have to smooth out the beeswax a little more, cut the paper, punch the holes and coil bind it. I think I’ll wait until tomorrow to finish it up. I’ve spent way too much time on it today. Time to shift gears and think about eating something for dinner.

brr..it got chilly here all of a sudden. This morning was muggy and sunny. This afternoon it turned cloudy, windy and the temperture dropped. I will be putting on my sweat shirt soon, for sure. Maybe even trade my shorts in for sweat pants before the night is over. Those thoughts make me sad. I don’t want summer to be over. It’s my favorite time of year. I hate being cold.

Another assignment for Suzi’s workshop was to make a healing art journal. We are going to record our art progress in it each day. I finally got mine finished today. Well, it’s still a work in progress, but I got the gist of it done. I will seal it in beeswax once I’m sure I’m finished messing with it.

She is holding a sign which reads: I AM WORTHY.

And, you better believe I AM.
I am worthy of making art.
I am worthy of calling myself an artist.
And, so are you!
If you don’t believe me, just watch this…

Oh, and to give you an idea of the great artists in Suzi’s workshop, you should take a look at the links below. Aren’t these artists fabulous?

And that’s just barely making a dent in all the wonderful art I’ve been wallowing in since this class started. It’s only been a week, and it was well worth the $55 for this class. Suzi is going way above the call of duty..making us extra videos and pdfs. She is really putting her all into this. And..I have 7 more weeks to go! YAY!!!!
