The July Bronze bonus article is now live for monthly supporters - entitled "Where did July go?" - but here is a little update for those of you who make occasional contributions. Every donation helps me keep creating free inspiration for YouTube and Instagram, so I'm grateful to each and every one of you.
The main focus of the bonus article is the creative work at the heart of the PaperArtsy ArtsyCrafts retreat last month. There are glimpses of what we made - both the individual elements and processes, and how we started to gather those elements together in journals.
As you can see, by the end of the week, the workshop studio was in a state of creative chaos!
Here are some of the piles of backgrounds, papers, prints, paintings and grids...
And here are just a few of the pages being worked on. These are not necessarily finished spreads - everyone went home with lots of stuff to play with and continue adding to their books.
I hope you've enjoyed that little glimpse into the creative processes and results of a week of playtime. It was such a joyful time, with participants from around the world, set in the idyllic surroundings you had a glimpse of in last month's post.
I loved seeing how people made the work their own, just as I love hearing that you have been inspired to go on a journey after watching one of the YouTube videos. I'm thrilled to be spreading the creative bug! Thank you for your company and your support on this artistic journey, and happy August to you all.
