ICAD, Radiant Classes & a Art-a-thon!

I’m back!! Its been a long time since I posted on here. I’ve been busy and keep postponing on posting; saying “I will do it next week” but next week turns into the next and into the next, etc. So I am back for now. I won’t make any promises as to how often I will be posting so as not to break them. I have been creating and posting some of it on my instagram.

For June and July I have been participating in Daisy Yellow’s Index Card a Day (ICAD) challenge. I have been posting the cards on instagram and in the facebook group for the challenge. Once the challenge is over I will post a slide show of all the cards I created during the challenge.

I have also signed up for Effy Wild’s Radiant Faces and Radiant II: Art Journaling classes. I have a really hard time drawing faces so I thought these classes might help me create them better or help me come up with a style that I would like doing. Another big reason for taking the classes is that my friend Sarah Trumpp of Wonderstrange will be a teacher in Radiant II. Her art is awesome, weird and fun! Radiant Faces is currently in self guided mode and Radiant II will begin October 1st. Each class can be purchased separately or together for a savings.

I have already completed the first lesson in Radiant Faces and hope to start working on the second lesson this weekend. I will post the finished pieces on here every once in a while.

In October Rhonda, Ruth , Sarah and I will be hosting another art-a-thon. This one will only be 13 hours and will be Halloween themed. It will be held on October 24th. We are still working on the starting time and a few other details. As with our other art-a-thon everyone is welcomed to participate. For more information check out our 24 Hour Art-a-thon site. You can also join the facebook group.

Also in the next few weeks I will be updating my etsy store and adding more items. The “White Rabbit” painting will also finally be going up for sale. I hope by the end of the year to have finished another painting in the Alice in Wonderland series which will also go up for sale on my etsy store. I just need to finally decide on which character I will be doing next.

As you can see the rest of the year is going to be pretty busy and hopefully lots of fun.
