#WOYWW 343 Inspire

I've been craving to have a little time for creativity

and I finally gave myself the time

early in the morning since I don't have to work this week

before my daughter woke up :)

With Christmas here my table was a complete mess

so I took about an hour to clean it up

but I got it done :)

it looks pretty clear to me

except for the things that my husband has under the table lol

and this is the page I worked on

pretty simple really

I used watercolors for the top

acrylics on the bottom

the word is a print from a wooden word with paint on it

the green part is a foam tray stamp 

that I made myself

and the white flower is a mask made with

spray paint

it felt really good to do art again.

Keep on inspiring :)

Collage Your Emotions

Today I felt like making a collage

I read a newsletter from Shelley Klammer

where she invites to preview the prompt from

  100 Days of Art Journal Therapy: 

Collage Your Emotional Set-Point:

and the Self-Reflection question is:

​

What pain do you need to release today? 

What can you do to let it go?

and my answer to that is

meditation 

this is my collage

the pillows represent the meditation

soon somehow I'll have one of these 

to meditate on :)

I found this pretty reindeer

that shows the present moment

is around Christmas time

these lamps represent the light and ideas

I'll get while meditating

and this is just me saying Believe

We all need to Believe in something :)

Love and Peace

Practice Being a Kid Again :)

After a long day of Christmas shopping

I came home to eat and relax.

I grabbed my journal without knowing what to do

and I asked my daughter who was next to me

watching TV with daddy,

what should I draw?

and her answer was: a mistletoe.

Of course she had to say that,

she loves plants and Christmas is only a few days away;

isn't it funny how when you are a kid

all the things that you like come together so easily

without even knowing it? 

I guess we need to practice being a kid more often :)

So I went on to draw a mistletoe

and the rest just came to me little by little

I know is not much of an art journal page

but practice makes you better :)

Thanks for stopping by

and saying hi :)

Fun and Easy Christmas Craft for Kids and Toddlers

A little cutie to share here

This is what we made in our classroom (I'm a preschool teacher)

at the beginning of this week.

Pretty easy and self explanatory :)

the kids finger painted the poster board paper

then I added some big eyes that I found at the craft store

the red nose is just construction paper

and the antlers are all my kids hand prints on construction paper.

Fun and simple

and the kids did most of the work lol

Oh my! Time flies specially now with the holidays here. 

I finally started to make something for my daughter

I am not going to tell you what it is until I finish it.

That way I can push myself to work on it

as much as I can and hopefully finish it 

before Christmas.

And this is how my workdesk looks like

While I listen to a podcast, interview or video

I am working on it :)

What do you think it is???

Take care,

I wish it snows in Florida :(

Faith Art Journaling, Proverbs 3:5

This is the page I showed in #WOYWW 331

much better picture now.

You can see here that I used the LEAVES and flowers cut outs I made

on the bottom left of the page

after I spread some paint around on the paper,

those white circles you see on the corners

are from cleaning the corks I was painting with

once with white paint.

and this picture shows you the finished

art journal page.

I guess what I am doing here is faith art journaling

since that's what I feel attracted to do :)

is says:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding

Proverbs 3:5

This Bible verse helps me a lot :)

in different situations of life.

I hope you find this helpful,

Love,

Clemencia

WOYWW 331 Addicting :)

I remember when I started participating in WOYWW

I was told that it was addicting

well... they were right lol

For a while there I stopped posting, making art

and just in the search of myself 

(if you know what I mean)

but the more time went by,

the more I missed making things with my hands

Eventually we all go back to doing what we like :)

I know is hard to see in this picture;

I started using the cut outs I made a few weeks ago

I'll post a better picture of it soon :)

Love,

Clemencia

Love and Prayer Art Journal Page

I can not believe myself lol

I finished it before the week is over :)

Doesn't it look pretty?

sorry for the modesty but I really like this page :)

I used a different Bible Verse as you can see,

this is what really resonated with me this week :)

Thank you for the encouragement and tutorial

Faith Art Fridays

I love it!

See you all soon :)

#WOYWW 330

Slowly but surely I am coming back to art.

I am doing a mix of things that hopefully will help me

find that I don't know what I am looking for lol

I am reading The Artist's Way book by Julia Cameron

and I am trying to stick with the 12 week program.

But at the same time I saw that Erin and Melissa

are doing Faith Art Fridays 

which is what I am working on right now on the bigger notebook

and the smallest ones like always are there to pick up 

the leftover paint from my brush :)

I can't wait for finish my Faith Art Friday 

to come back and show it off :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

It's amazing to see how, when you find ways to relax, a simple notebook and a pencil helps.

Well, in this case since I had a little extra time I used markers and colored pencils and

 drew whatever came to my mind on top of my gratitude journal.

I was just as simple as that.

And as you can see here on the second picture

I cut them out to use in my art journal :)

Any ideas how can I use them? 

I would love to know what comes to your mind when you see these.

Take care,

Clemencia

#WOYWW 325 Knitting Fingerless Gloves Lolita Style

Wow! I can't believe I am back to making things again. this time I am working on some fingerless gloves for my daughter who loves lolita fashion style (my daughter is the one with the headband) and cosplay that she sews herself. I haven't tried sewing since I used to help my mother when I was a teenager, who knows maybe someday in the future I get brave enough to make some things :)

For now I am sticking to what I like.
As you can see I am knitting by my computer where I listen to a book of webinar, etc while I am working on my project :) very fun lol

My goal is to make this cute gloves



which is a special request from my daughter for her birthday.
I have no pattern, so is a challenge for me.

Thanks for visiting me :)

A Retreat? Yes, It Is Possible...

I want to start by letting you know that I got curious about retreats a while back, but every time I went to find out about the price, it was something I couldn't possibly do. I know everybody tells you, you deserve, you need, you owe it to yourself, but reality is I have a family and have to think about them too.

When I read Jennie's Creative Retreat Workbook, let me tell you... a big aha! came to me. Finally somebody showing me that there is a possible way to have a retreat. A retreat just as peaceful, just as intentional, practical, creative and amazing as you can imagine.

I just LOVE Jennie's workbook, it has changed my life and open my eyes to the different types of retreats one can have. So many practical activities and ideas that helped me discover my retreat style, my goals and a schedule that works for me.

I am so happy to have this workbook in my hands :) It is a true blessing for me :)
