The guest instructor for week three of the Wanderlust "inspired by another artist" theme was Tanyalee Kahler (website, Instagram). A severe lack of energy means that I have done very little creative work over the last couple of months; if it didn't have to be done (like the two birthday cards), then it didn't get done.… Continue reading Delaunay-Holdsworth
And we were back with Anneliese Bates (Instagram) for the last week of the Wanderlust "floral" theme. I'd seen people mention using glue guns to create stencils before but the technique never made it anywhere near the top of my "things I must try" list. Although I have managed to shake off the worst of… Continue reading Textured flowers

I had put off doing the steampunk lessons because, after having a quick look, I realised that most of them were going to be more time-consuming than the average art journal page. Not only that, but I would have… Continue reading Wanderlust: steampunk palette

In an ultimately vain attempt to avoid constantly running behind on the class schedule, I decided to temporarily skip the steampunk theme which has some quite time-consuming lessons in it and jump to the Floral… Continue reading Wanderlust: inky flowers
Because I just didn't have enough to keep me occupied catching up with the Wanderlust classes, I decided to take Kasia Avery's 3 day Daily Emotions Challenge. The decision was driven by curiosity more than anything else. I love the art side of art journalling, but I've always shied away from the journalling part of… Continue reading Daily Emotions journal
This was the last lesson of the Wanderlust "rivers" theme and we were back with Kasia Avery (website, Instagram). I was working out of order here. I'd put off starting this lesson because it felt like it was going to take a while to do. Rather than just a single page in an art journal,… Continue reading Wanderlust: concertina flow
