Making Space for Daily Creative Practice
Making Space for Daily Creative Practice
Tumblr media
Let’s face it… we’re about half way through 2020 and so far, so terrible. The world is a tough place right now, and we are coping in a myriad of ways. Some of us are regressing to the worst parts of ourselves, or putting insane amounts of pressure on ourselves to be better. Either way, it can be difficult to find the time, the head space, and the motivation to be creative. But a daily…

What Are You Doing? Everything You Can...
What Are You Doing? Everything You Can…
This is a story about never sitting still…
Some of you may have noticed that I suddenly have a podcast taking up valuable real estate on my blog page. What the crap is that about?
Well… the long and short of it is… I wanted to do a thing, so I did it. Like every other hobby I’ve ever taken up (knitting, paper crafts, painting, digital art), I’m jumping in and running with this new…

Episode 2 – George’s Island
Fort Warren, located on George’s Island in the Boston Harbor, has a mysterious lady in a long black cloak that wanders the empty halls. Is the harrowing tale behind her ghostly presence true?

5 Ways to Boost Your Creativity
5 Ways to Boost Your Creativity
We have all said the words, “I’m not that creative.” We have all felt that way. The problem is, that is a lie. We are ALL creative. It’s part of being human. We are creative when we learn to talk and take our first steps. We are creative when we play pretend as toddlers. We are creative when we lie to our parents as teens, cook our first meals, and do our taxes. Creativity is the act of putting…

It's April! Holy crap... Happy National Poetry Month! In honor of this incredible month, I decided on a theme celebrating the author who introduced me to poetry... Shel Silverstein. He taught me not to take myself too seriously, but also that I was valid and powerful. Seriously, these silly poems are deep...

This is my amazing lady friend @theonly.sheenamarie . She is brilliant, compassionate, and stunning... so I drew her! Swipe for comparison to the original image. I'm improving on my technique, I think. P.S. Go follow her. She's rad. (at Prescott, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmQoQGDvFp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q79ob0ayxj8w

This semester I'm teaching a course called Just Art: Art and Social Change. To encourage my students to have a daily creative practice, we do 15 min warm ups based on social justice prompts. 15 minutes is enough time to make something if you let go of perfection! What is your daily creative practice? (at Prescott, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXdoYVj9NN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x2blv0fzetza

Super Saturday vibes courtesy of this sunny afternoon and a bunch of coffee stickers. I have been ignoring my bujo... but life is getting busy. I actually need to plan! It makes me happy to be able to pick up right where I left off, no wasted pages. It's the beauty of the bullet journal system.

How to Make Stickers at Home (2 Ways)
How to Make Stickers at Home (2 Ways)
Stickers are fun, at any age. That was one of the first lessons I learned as a classroom teacher. Smiley face stickers on graded papers, goofy stickers as incentives, school spirit stickers – everybody loves ‘em. In fact, I love ‘em so much I used to hoard my favorites!
I see stickers everywhere. I get them as gifts in my subscription boxes. I see them plastering my student’s water bottles. I…

5 Collections You Need in Your Bullet Journal
5 Collections You Need in Your Bullet Journal
When I first started my bujo journey, I could not wrap my head around collections. Why would I waste valuable journaling real estate on a list of TV shows I’m watching? I was so closed minded, I just didn’t get it. After a few years, and a ton of inspiration from the bujo community, I started to see the value of collections… I even started to use some…
So what is a collection, anyway? A…

Making some stickers to go with this month's theme! It's #nationalcaffeineawarenessmonth. Maybe I can get my fix by drawing cups of coffee instead of drinking them. Better for my blood pressure, that's for sure. (at Prescott, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buwb6lUg3Gj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jagw7oq0ms0d
