Hey Loves! I am super excited to share with you a little project I have been working on this month. Since I started sharing my art journalling paintings on my socials a lot of you have been asking about art journalling and how you can do your own art journals. So I have put together three very easy, very fun projects for you to do yourself. Seriously these are very easy and don't take a … Continue reading Three Ways to Art Journal: Quick and Fun Projects to Make Anytime…
Hi Loves, So apparently there is an arctic blast hitting southeast Australia and I can tell you that from my little studio in central west NSW we are definitely having an arctic blast and feeling the cold to our bones. Looking out my window this morning and seeing the sky thick with heavy black clouds I said to the terrible trio that if we lived just a little higher (as in elevation) we would have … Continue reading Studio Update [June 2022]
JANUARY - APRIL 2022 It's hard to believe that we are now in June and the first half of 2022 is almost over. My art journalling practice has changed slightly this year from the last. As the country has opened up as to have in person markets and other social and school activities. We have gone from hardly any school events and lockdowns to our calendars exploding with the all the things - it's like … Continue reading ART JOURNALS [January – April 2022]
END OF 2021 UPDATE It hardly seems real that it is April in 2022 and that I still hadn't shared an updated post of art journalling from the end of last year. I am still painting in my journals, so I will have some updates from 2022 to share at a later date! But first I need to finish 2021 NOVEMBER A selection of November journal pages - lots of dark backgrounds for this month. … Continue reading ART JOURNAL [November and December 2021]
Last year I did a series of Christmas crafts which were super fun, super easy and helped me feel a little bit Christmassy. I thought I would share them with you again this December. This week I am sharing these very easy Christmas tree ornaments that I made with wooden discs I found at Bunnings. These are so versatile, the designs so simple that this will make a fun Christmas craft to make with friends, … Continue reading Making Christmas Decorations with LilliBean Designs.
I AM ADDICTED TO MY DREAMS Vivid dreams. I have them all the time. Full colour, full drama, full immersion into a world that is sometimes a lot more interesting than my own. Sometimes I don't want to wake up. Sometimes I just want to fall back into the colourful world I have dreamed that night. I am addicted to my dreams. The fun ones, the sad ones, the ones where I am constantly trying … Continue reading I AM ADDICTED TO MY DREAMS
OCTOBER UPDATE I have almost finished a year of art journalling and I have a lot of thoughts about the practice and how it has helped me survive lockdowns and isolations. At the end of the year I will be sharing a little video of the entire years worth of journalling but this is a quick update to share some of Octobers pages. Octobers journal pages were created in the midst of a second isolation … Continue reading ART JOURNAL UPDATE [October]
I am so excited to share with you the new range of LilliBean Christmas Wee Beasties! Wee Beasties are one of a kind wooden dolls, that I have painted, accessorised and then placed in little whimsical scenes. This year I have a couple of new Wee Beasties: There is Mr and Mrs Claus on a little wooded disc. A glass bauble with two deers in a wintery scene Little elves and snow men And angels … Continue reading INVITE SOME WHIMSY INTO CHRISTMAS
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2021 UPDATE. 2021 saw the addition of an art journalling practice to my weekly rituals. I have written about it in depth here . My practice during lock morphed into a daily art to a little longer session with a bit more detail. Anything to avoid home schooling with the terrible trio and to manage my anxiety with the whole lock down situation we were in! AUGUST SEPTEMBER I would credit this art … Continue reading ART JOURNALLING [August and September update]
I have a little notebook that lives in my car (well it lives in my car when I am not in lock down!) and when I have to pick the terrible trio up from school or dance or wait for covid tests and doctors appointments, I'll sketch little drawings. Part of this is boredom - I could spend the time scrolling through socials (and sometimes I do) but I like these five minute sketches made … Continue reading OPEN HEARTED
