This page looks very different than my usual style, because I was doing an excercise I learned while in Theo Ellsworth's class at Artfest one year. I wrote about it here (scroll down a bit) . I find it to be a really fun exercise. When I'd filled in all the scratch marks it looked to me like a sun, a sad girl, a happy dog and a man. I would have never drawn these characters without doing this exercise and "finding them", love that.
And finally, the "happy day" samplers are back in stock over at my etsy. Thanks for waiting if you had wanted one. If there's demand, I can always do another order. :)
{Ed: Thanks again for purchasing. More have been reordered! Should be in late June}
I simply adore your journals, Pam!!! the colors speaks to me... have a good week!!

Pam have you considered doing an E-Workshop? I would love to take a class from you but with two kiddos travel just isn't possible. Please consider a E-Class

La la la love your giant book of dreams, friend! Really. Your ginormous talent just makes my head spin. Any thoughts on offering an online journaling class/tutorial for those who can't make your upcoming classes? Or putting together a journaling zine we could purchase...writing a book (hint, hint). A lot of work and commitment, I know, but oh it would be such a best seller. You are so admired and loved!!!

You should order more samplers. I'm glad I saw your post last night so I could get more. It's a great thing to take to the beach. I just did some embroidery for a friend and it was so easy to have it in my purse and pull it out for a little art break.

There must have been demand as I went to the shop and nothing for sale...I guess you have to be quick.

I wasn't quick enough to buy a sampler. I'm hoping you'll order more, they are so lovely.

The pages look different, but I can still see your style and theme of happiness in there. Missed the sampler again....

So glad to hear that you're working on a class.... I'm in a slump after moving from one state to another and can't get myself motivated. My studio is still sitting in boxes. Has that ever happened to you? What motivated you to get going again? Love the new journal pages.
Posted by: Lorelei | June 08, 2011 at 02:15 PM
I guess I missed it again. I really would like to order one!!

There is definitely more demand for your "Happy Day" sampler! This is my third time striking out! Ugh! Would you be willing to take a "waiting/reserve list"? :)
Posted by: Kendle | June 08, 2011 at 05:25 PM
your work is just so lovely - and uplifting
thanks for sharing it!

I hope to be quicker next time to order a sampler. I thought about it for 5 minutes, went to look up my hub's paypal account, becuz I couldn't find mine.....went back and they were all sold out. I'll be prepared next time!
