Every now and again you write a blog post thinking you know where it’s gonna go.... and then other times, you get into it and it heads off into a completely different direction, one you really didn’t expect it to.... yessummm, this is one of those times. There’s a link to the post in my bio.

I was having fun when this photo was taken.
.
Randy Pausch said to “never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun”. Fun will mean different things to each of us, but for me it looks like drawing, painting, colouring in and blogging. So this work in progress pic, is me having some fun. .
.

If you could wake up tomorrow and have fun, what would you be doing? What wouldn’t you be doing? 👇🏼 Tell me below, maybe I’ll include your comments in my next blog post, which incidentally, is all about fun!! .

I need some help writing my my next blog post. There’s a question in my stories that I’d love to hear your thoughts on... . “How do you know when you’re not having fun?” .

If you could wake up tomorrow and have fun, what would you be doing? What wouldn’t you be doing? 👇🏼 Tell me below or reply to the story, maybe I’ll include your comments in my next blog post, which incidentally, is all about fun!! .

Yep, sometimes it feels like you’re drinking a tall glass of green.... I’m using heaps of greens in my next piece. Do you have a favourite way to use green? Mine would have be blending.... with lots of cool blues and yellows. .

When I say the word ‘wisdom’, what do you picture? Do you see wisdom as something that’s given by an old man or woman who’s been around a few years? What do you picture it to be? I believe wisdom is actually a way of life, let me share with you what I mean.... there’s a link in my bio .

In 2 Chronicles, Chapter 1 we read about how the Lord came to King Solomon 👑 to ask him what he wanted. Solomon told the Lord he sought wisdom, he wanted it more than anything else! He wanted wisdom to lead and govern people, and he wanted it above wealth, fame, riches and even longevity..... .
.
.
As I’ve been contemplating wisdom, I’ve come to believe the Lord wants us to hunger for wisdom just as much as Solomon did. I’ll be blogging some more about wisdom later this week, but for now I thought I’d share my latest piece. .

Hands up if you reckon gold looks awesome in a piece of art 🙋🏼 Here’s a close up pic that shows a hint of the gold that’s been used in my next piece 🔑 So in love with it 🥰

😺 yep, the cat is out of the bag! 😺
I’ve never offered anything like this before, but Resolve, my original, one of a kind piece of art is actually available for purchase!!! Yessiree, it can be yours!!
.
.
Measuring 10.5cm x 14.8cm, it was created on Arches Hot Pressed Watercolor paper, using watercolors, inks, acrylic paint and coloured pencils. It’s a small piece that can fit comfortably at a workstation or on a bedside table reminding us of the beauty that comes from resolution. If Resolve has really resonated with you, send me a message and I’ll let you know how it can be yours. .

In tonight’s blog post, I’m sharing about my latest art piece called Resolve. It’s a beautiful product of prayer, journalling and drawing that I’m thrilled to be able to detail through word. I hope it strikes a chord with you. There’s a link in my bio.

Hi friends, each morning I wake and spend time journalling with the Lord. Recently I felt He gave me some words that I believe I’m to draw, and one of these words was Resolve. As I listened and journaled, I felt He was saying that in everything, He wants us to place a desire to Resolve above the desire to be right. I’ll be sharing more of my journalling on Resolve this week in my blog, but for now I thought I’d share the finished piece with you all. .

It’s nice to be getting back into the swing of things with some pretty pink work in progress.... when was the last time you resolved to do something?

I love learning what motivates the creative expression of other artists. We’re a unique bunch of folks and I love hearing how each piece of art we create is birthed and formed. Today I’m sharing the heart behind Resonate as a means of letting you into more of my Creative Process. .
.

This sort of stuff is something I usually hold close to my chest, so opening this up for the world to see is kinda SCARY! But I believe, very strongly, that it adds another dimension to what you see in a finished piece of work. My hope is that after reading it, you see MORE and He resonates. .

Resonate is defined as, to resound or cause to resound; to reverberate. We have all sorts of things that resonate within us, but I believe the Lord wants to be the one that resounds and reverberates within us the most deeply. .

Hi friends, my apologies for the online absence. .
I’ve been doing a small training course with Matt Tommey. His course (called Artist’s Rise Up) is about understanding your place in the Kingdom as an artist. God reveals his beauty through His artists, so Matt’s course has been about discovering my place in
the Army of Artists the Lord is building. .
.

Over the next few months I will be continuing the training as I work my way into more of Matt’s teaching through his books. I want to give this teaching my full attention and devotion, so I have chosen to sit my normal week to week tangle activities to the side for the time being. .
.

I apologise to anyone that might be inconvenienced by me doing so. Many of you know that Creating with the Creator has always been my heart’s focus. Being provided an opportunity to deepen this through spiritual and personal development is something I just couldn’t pass up. .
.

I will continue to create and draw during this time (you can see me working on a piece with the Lord in this picture I’m sharing). I hope the fruit of this time ahead is something you are nourished by, and I look forward to sharing parts of this journey with you xx

Have you ever tried using a real string for your tangle tiles? I did, I soaked one in alcohol ink and used the soggy mess to make myself a colourful string for tangling. Tonight’s Tangle Creative Process Mapping post looks at this idea in greater detail. There’s a link in my bio.

This is the Nvelope Tile I have created for Week 4️⃣ of the Focus on Nvelope (a tangle pattern originally deconstructed by Alyss Amster, CZT). Last week I wasn’t able to create a Colour Techniques Tile, so I’ve combined last week’s work into this week’s tile as well. .
I created this tile by using a string soaked in Alchohol Ink. If you missed the video where I shared about this, you can catch it on my YouTube channel. It was a smelly, messy process but now that the tile is finished, I’m glad I persisted. The results are quite beautiful. .
