"Creativity lives in paradox: serious art is born from serious play" -Julia Cameron ✨

I'm here to create a community, a space, (a bubble🫧, if you will) for everything art, creativity, and positivity.

A bubble is the perfect space for this because it does not box you in on your creative journey. 🧑‍🎨You just get to float around safely, as long as no one pops your bubble - (side note, DON'T let anyone burst your bubble)!! 🫧

My creative interests include: sketching/drawing, ✏️ charcoal, ⚫ pastels, 🌈 painting, 🎨 watercolor, 🫟 markers, ✍️ ink, ✒️ bullet journaling 📔.... And everything in between!

I am always exploring and letting my inner artist grow 🌱 (as a recovering perfectionist who would take forever to mark one line on a blank page)! 🗒️

I am learning to play a little more and work a little less 💕 - so that I can enjoy both my work and free time! Sometimes we all need a reminder to pause and enjoy this beautiful life! 🌄🏞️🌅🏜️

Besides all things art and creation... I love journaling, 📝 reading, 📖 teaching, ✏️ organizing, 🗂️ planning, 📔dancing in my living room,💃 hiking in nature, ⛰️ connecting with animals, 🐕🐖 (and people too.. hehe), 👩‍❤️‍👩 and spreading positivity and joy! 🤗💖🌞

Thank you for joining the bubble of creative self exploration and growth! 🫧🌿 We are all creative beings with a story to share! 🫶

Remember....
Be grateful for today.💖
Be progress, not perfection.🫧
And I will see you soon, sunshine!☀️

Wrapping up Week 7 of ✨The Artist's Way✨

Week 7 was all about "Recovering A Sense of Connection"🧘‍♀️

SIDENOTE- Did anyone realize how expensive magazines have gotten?!! 🤯 I'm grateful I was able to collect some by asking people- and you really only need a few!!💕

I definitely worked on connecting with my ideas and inspirations💭

I have been reminded throughout this Week 7 that the purpose of art is to take action on the ideas that come to us💡

So here's to embracing and acting on the ideas we receive- rather than shooing them away!!💕✍️

What ideas will you act on this week?🤔🫧

Happy creating!✨

Remember....

Art ✨ Medium Motivation Challenge!✨

I'm giving myself the challenge of exploring using different materials and media🎨🫟🖌️

In the past when I was most consistent with my art journey... I was almost TOO CONSISTENT! I had stuck with one medium, one way of creating, and did it again and again...and again until I got burnt out!🔥

I never allowed myself time to explore materials just for fun. 🧭 I was always on a deadline with a commission and producing similar art, with the same paper and paint, and even the same size every time!

Of course I loved drawing the animals I drew🐾 (it comes naturally to me to make animals) and I had fun with different backgrounds and watercolor. But it was like I couldn't break out of doing the same thing over and over. Until the point that I stopped making art altogether. 💔

I'm on a new art journey now, a fresh page📄 and I'm taking baby steps back into it all.👣

Lately I've been very attached to my handy dandy pencil as I get back into it all✏️🩷 Which is wonderful! BUT I want to avoid getting stuck in the same pattern again!⚠️

So I'm being preventative. Giving myself free reign. BUT free reign can feel scary.... A little too much blank-page syndrome. So I needed a little more ✨motivation✨

Therefore: ✨A Medium Motivation Challenge!✨

Starting NOW- I am challenging myself to use the tools in my toolkit. Explore the materials I overthink about using but don't end up actually picking up‼️

Without a care for how it turns out🫟😊

Join me in this challenge to use different mediums!🎨

Happy creating!✨

Anyone else a Chronic List Maker?!📝

It's a hobby at this point✏️

But what can I say? It helps my brain! 🧠

My morning routine is something I'm constantly adapting. Not in a toxic-productivity way... But in a way of experimenting to see what makes me feel the best when I start my day! 🌞

I used to get frustrated whenever I would change up a routine AGAIN because I viewed it as a failure to be disciplined enough to follow the list I set out for myself. But no more!!! ❌❌❌

But I've come a long way from thinking like that. Now, I get so excited to change up my routines. I view it as natural as changing things up for the different seasons🍃🍂❄️🌷

And I do it with the understanding that life will not always go according to the plan. BUT I try to build flexibility into the plan, and I view it as a general guide to follow when I'm half asleep in the morning. (Without a list my morning brain feels prettttty lost!)💭💭💭

I keep it simple, I give myself options, LIKE A MORNING MENU!✨📜✨ I celebrate my wins for the day, my focus in the morning is based on how I want to feel for the day🌞😊🌞

Lately I've been switching things up and felt the need for a visual list to follow in the morning📝 The perk of using a sheet protector is you can pin it up in a spot where you can see it, and you can use a dry-erase marker to check it off again and again each day!✅

So this is my morning vibe for now, until eventually it grows into something new🌱☀️🩷

What do you prioritize in the morning??🤔

Happy Creating!✍️💕

The Colors of October🍂🌕✨

Feeling very inspired by "Colors of the Wind" after rewatching the Disney classic Pocahontas recently! I felt like it was the perfect energy for October- as the leaves start changing and the wind carries them around in the sky.🍃🍂

This was a simple page to do with a classic mechanical pencil, my micron pens, Crayola tip markers, a couple of Tombows, and some colored pencils.✍️

Let's welcome October with cozy vibes, candles, colors, and warmth as we fully embrace fall!🍂✨

I hope your fall is full of cozy hobbies and creations!🍁

Felt inspired by my matcha this week💚✨

Sometimes the simplest way to get myself to pick up the pencil is to look at what's right in front of me... For example.... A tasty beverage 😋

Thank you to my Matcha for being my muse this week!✨

Happy creating! (Even if it's just 1 doodle sketch!!)🩷

✨Monday Mantra✨

I have always loved Mondays for their representation of a "fresh start" / "fresh week"...🩷 I know they are commonly not appreciated, and I wanted to share my positive perspective that Mondays hold for me! 💖

I love anything that represents a new season, a new month, a new mark of time. Which is why Mondays have such an important role in representing a new week, a symbol of starting again! 🌟

Let's practice being intentional about the week that lies ahead of us. How do you want to feel this week? What do you want to do this week? Monday is giving us the opportunity to start anew with a fresh perspective! 💫

One way of doing this is coming up with a mantra as you set the intention for your Monday (and your week)! I am letting my chosen mantra (or quote, or phrase, or word!) guide me throughout the week and serve as a personal reminder. It will be the anchor that will hold me to the intention I've set for the week. ✨⚓✨

My Monday Mantra for this week:

☀️✨💖🩷"Energy is Everything"🩷💖✨☀️

What is your Monday Mantra? 🤔💭

Happy creating!! 🤗✨

A little morning meditation✨

This week I have been implementing ways to encourage listening to that inner artist voice💬

After sitting in silence with myself and closing my eyes the quote "Don't tell yourself 'no' " came to my mind. 💭

Thinking on this led to thinking about all of the little ways we tell ourselves 'no' within a given day. It made me realize how damaging this can be as a creative person, and how it affects our ability to feel the freedom that comes with creation. 🫧🩷🫧

I will be keeping this in mind for the times I tell myself no!🚫 When I get inspiration and shut it down, when I think of an idea and convince myself not create something, when I wonder about trying something new but then hold myself back. I will remember.... "Don't tell yourself 'no' " ! ✨

What is your spirit telling you today?🕊️🤗💭

Remember....
Be grateful for today.💖
Be progress, not perfection.🫧
And I will see you soon, sunshine!☀️

Happy fall!🍁 Plan for next week with me!😊🍂

This was an easy🍃 breezy🍃 weekly spread!

It is so much more manageable to plan for the upcoming week when I know I can do something simple and quick!✍️

No perfectionism 🟰 no overthinking, no hesitation, no second guessing.... And it means the pen actually touches the paper! 🎉

I like to split the page into 2 sides 📖 for an easy spread that gives you room for work-life balance! ⚖️

Happy planning! 🍁🍂🍁

When ✨One✨ is better than None❌ !

These weekly doodles have been the perfect combination of challenging myself to create when I have the time (or to.. Create the time.. hehe). However, it also is becoming a challenge to accept whatever I produce in a week, whether it's multiple things - or just 🥰One.

I am tuning into my inner artist and paying attention to when she feels inspired. 💭 I am allowing myself to accept the inspiration that comes to me without forcing myself to create things that don't speak to me. I am focused on connecting and listening to that internal inspiration, wherever it takes me.🍃💕

This week.... It brought me a piglet!🐷

(And it smiled back at me all week)😊

Remember....

Weekly Doodles: Ripped and taped up, quick and simple!

I have been working on scribbling/doodling and not caring for the outcome. 🫟

Weekly Doodles is a little challenge to myself to make the things to come to my mind.💭

To act on my creative urges- before I overthink them away and hesitate to the point that I spent all my time... THINKING and not CREATING! ⌛

So here is a celebration - not for how anything came out- but for the mere fact that I touched my pencil to paper this week! 📝🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉📝

Consider this a momentum challenge!!🎢✏️

Have you created this week? 🧵🖍️🖌️✏️✍️

Happy creating!!!!🎉

Remember....
Be grateful for today.💖
