Wanderlust 2023 - 1 year of Art Journaling - and I'm one of the teachers!

 Hi, my dear Art Friends!

I know many mixed-media artists are interested in art journaling and self-development through art. Well, me too! Although I'm not doing art journaling on the regular basis, I really know I should, as it is the best thing you can do to clean your head and put your mind at peace!

Today is a chance to make a fresh start! 

I'm here to share the info about the Early Bird sign-ups for the class you may enjoy - Wanderlust 2023. I've taken part in this online event many times before and you can be sure it is a real treat - packed with ideas, product info, inspiration and an amazing line-up of teachers to accompany you on this creative journey....and yes, this time I'm one of them (again!). Would you like to know more?

Wanderlust 2023 is 55 mixed-media lessons, all downloadable and yours to keep forever. Plus handouts, a creative community, and a whole bunch of bonuses which are available as soon as you sign up.

All this for only $89 US (making each lesson only $1.60!). It starts on the 6th of January, but it’s worth signing up now as we have this special price only for the first 2000 Adventurers. Head to the website to find out all about it: LINK!

Finnabair Art Studio is here... and my first ever over a week long online workshop!

 Hi my Dears!

I'm here today to share one really special project with you - something which we had on the table for over a year and now, finally it is coming to life! 

I'd like to officially introduce you to Finnabair Art Studio - my own online space which soon will be filling with longer and shorter online classes! 

This project finally came to life thanks to my best friend, support and right hand in almost all online endeavours - Tusia Lech, who knows how to deal with the gods of the Internet and how to bring my ideas and suggestions to life. I'd be totally lost without her help!

Launching this new, sleek and shiny website is one reason to celebrate... but opening registration for one very unique, close to my heart online workshop is another! It is all happening now!

What you should know about  Creativity Whispering #1?

Creativity Whispering is over a week long project focusing on our relationship with creativity, our wellbeing and important questions we keep asking along the way: about finding the space and time for art, inspiration, about personal style, how to deal with creative blocks, perfectionism, fear and negative thoughts - I've heard them all during my classes from the students all over the world.

 I strongly believe in the power of transformation and our ability to make changes in our life, when we put our intention and energy into it. The changes may be small at first, but they go deep and affect many aspects of our existence. To start the change we need to find out who we are, where we are now and start from there with open head and heart… and here I come with my “Creativity Whispering” online courses!

What can you expect during this online experience?

– Daily newsletters and posts with activities helping you assess, transform and activate your creative space, time and powers. One step at a time! 

– Four live meetings where we discuss, chat and support each other through our journey. The power of the group is priceless and our energy multiplies! 

– One large and two small art projects, created with me during live sessions, helping us to tune to our creative voice, understand our needs and channel our energy to boost our creative practice. Let’s get our fingers dirty together! 

– Elements of relaxation, positive affirmations, tuning in to our inner voice and honoring our inner wisdom. All of this – in an easy to follow way, suitable for everyone, no matter what your beliefs are. We all speak the same language of art, love, mental health and working on positive changes!

Sounds good?

Thank you for all your support and love I'm getting from you all over my social media. You are the best reason to keep learning, teaching, creating... thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Prima Art Venture 2021 is online!

 Hi, my Dears! Are you ready for some creative fun?

I'm sure many of you heard about the biggest classes organised by Prima every year - Art Venture! 

I was one of the teachers there is almost every edition and I enjoyed it so much - a huge gathering of people, 6 teachers, 3 classes with mindblowing kits and projects per day - it was a wonderful creative marathon, a great way to start the year artistically! 

Many of the international mixed-media fans were hoping one day they will be able to join - but such a big journey is not always easy to organise and plan... but THIS YEAR IT IS POSSIBLE - Prima Art Venture is going ONLINE - bigger then ever an with the line-up of teachers like never before: 

Prima Marketing and Charity Wings did everything to keep the atmosphere of the event as close to original as possible - providing not only wonderful selection of teachers who prepared classes with beautiful, inspiring projects and more than generous kits but offering 12 classes to choose from in several packages and a'la carte options! 

If you are wondering what is my job this year - check out my 2 projects (I'm the only teacher teaching twice due to the size of the kit offered,  covering 2 classes instead of 1).

For the US residents, the packages with the kits are a great opportunity to get the latest Prima products delivered on their doorstep, making the whole calss so easy to follow (and there are some extras added as well!) - this is as always great value for money! 

You can check the packages and classes info here: Art Venture 2021 by Gather

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS?

Art Venture 2021 is online - so we are able to offer the CLASS ONLY passes on a discounted rate for the international mixed-media fans who live anywhere outside the US and would like to take the classes at home! This way you can source your products locally - or order them in advance to make sure they will arrive on time. 

I'm so very happy this option is available for all of you, so this event will be a real celebration of creativity all over the world!

To get the info about the discounted packages or kit shipping options - email Charity Wings directly and they will be happy to assist you: info@charitywings.org

Book of Possibilities 
The "Book of Possibilities" is a great class for those who would like to find a way to express their passion for old books, paper, photos and mixed-media.

Join me to explore the magic of vintage books and how to turn them into art. I am taking you on a complete journey that starts off explaining where to find and how to choose an old book to work in and goes through to preparing it, embellishing the covers (two ways!) as well as working inside and making it into your own Book of Possibilities, your unique mood book.

This is a mixed-media altered book project. I'm taking you to my unique and imaginative world of old books, papers, paints, textures, and dreamy colours.

Imagine - mixed-media collage 

Imagine Collage is one of my favourite classes to teach. 
As with most of my projects, it shows the way how you can recycle the stuff you already have in your stash, techniques which are fun and easy to do... and the effects are always mind-blowing!
As it is a retired class we've made sure it is refreshed and tweaked, with extra content added, so you will surely enjoy it, even if you took it in the past in person!

“Imagine” class is based on a mixed-media collage canvas project: I'm taking you to my unique and imaginative world of layers, textures and dreamy colours. You will be able to see and you’ll be encouraged to follow step-by-step instructions where I explain every stage in great detail and give you the opportunity to turn your own imagination on.
Together with this class you will be also getting a full and detailed product information in a video form. Even if you are a beginner and you have no idea what does “gesso” mean… I will explain everything you need to know about it in order to complete the project. This class is perfect for everyone. Even for those of you who have already done it “live” in the classroom -  as you are getting a fabulous and priceless reminder of her most staple techniques together with tips that weren’t included.

The "Imagine" class is divided into 5 sections: Total running time: 128:13 ( 2 hours 8 minutes 13 seconds of dynamic, fact-filled, edited content.

Book Altering - Endless Possibilities

Hi again my dears!
Not long ago I was sharing the happy news about my brand new ONLINE CLASS - "Book of Possibilities". 
It was a very happy and very important moment for me - you can name it my next milestone in my career as a mixed-media teacher! Last year I was thinking creating online class in the shape and size I was thinking of will be simply impossible for me - but then my friends stepped up and all the impossible turned into possible!
You can read more about the class here - check it out  and learn more details!

Today I'd like to show you some shots of the book covers which are done during the online class - yes, you will get detailed instruction how to create altered book covers in 2 ways - not bad, huh?

This cover was created using Art Extravagance Crackle Texture Paste, Art Basics Black Gesso and Heavy Body Gel, Art Alchemy Waxes and more! I absolutely love the effect...

Don't you just love the colours and textures on this book? I was so inspired by natural colours of the vintage book cover I was trying to find the closest possible colours of Art Alchemy Metallique Paints to match it!

I didn't use so many elements to decorate it  - but the rich colours, pretty textures and lovely stencil details are doing the trick here! And can you see  these cool crackle effects? Or the beauty of the original title of the book, revealed by Art Alchemy Metallique Paints and Waxes?
It is rich, detailed, it is beautifully shiny and it really catches the eye - I hope you like it too!

You can have a look at what happened inside of the book in a separate post here - I'm sharing some of these techniques during the online class, some of the pages were done once the book was finished, just for my own pleasure! Enjoy!

If you'd like to take the class - don't wait and register now, the course is already open and running! You will find all the details and information you need here, in the link below!

I can't wait to see your beautiful creations - I hope to see you in the virtual classroom!
huge hugs
