Staying Creative with a Simple Mixed Media Page

I am trying to stay active in my blog

by showing you what am I up to :)

I love to make a variety of things

for some reason I can't stay focus in just one area of art

I love scrapbooking. art journaling, mixed media, you name it.

Today I am sharing a mixed media page 

I made yesterday inspired by a few challenge blogs I follow.

Simon Says: Add a little sparkle

I am not the sparkle kind of person 

so I looked for a quote since I love to encourage people :)

in combination with

Cupcake Inspirations: Black, White and Yellow

I had to work with black which for me is a hard color to use

but what better way to make sparkles shine even more

than a black background

then splashed some yellow paint by tapping the end of my paintbrush

and let it dry to be able to write with my white pen.

Just Add Ink: Add a T

for this one I couldn't resist 

I had to add my favorite color: Teal

Pretty simple and that's the point

hoping I can stay creative and active in my blog

Thanks for visiting :)

One Happy Day

I am so proud of myself today :D

I usually never give time to myself

to do the things I like 

but lately I've been working on myself

I mean deep work and I am seeing the results :)

Anyways, I am so happy that I am able to come here to my blog

and share what I like :0

I've been wanting to go back to scrapbooking

for the longest time now, 

and seems like I am finally doing it :)

Here my desk

I took a picture of it 

for WOYWW (What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday)

I know I am a day late :/

but like they say, better late than never lol

and here is closer picture of my project

a scrapbook page from our last trip to Puerto Rico 

This page is the result of a scrapbooking class I took

and a combination of inspiration 

from Simon Says: Summer Fun! 

 Scrap Our Stash Challenge

and Challenge Yourself blog

Thank you so much for visiting

and if you have any questions just place a comment

I'll be happy to help :)

A Taste of Japan Mixed Media Art

Hello, hello out there. I am trying to stay true to myself and use my creativity any way possible.

I love art like some of you know and in order to stay creative after my trip to Japan, which was amazing! It sure changed my life! I am trying to make art every day in some form or another. F

This time I chose to follow Simon Says Challenge prompt: Food and/or Drink

and this mixed media page is based on my trip to Japan and their delicious, delicate and beautiful food :)

I call this: A Taste Of Japan

because is not only about their delicious food and teas

but it's also about their awesome culture

the cuteness all over the place

and the life changing experience I had 

while I stayed there for 3 weeks :)

I consider myself very blessed I was able to go there 

and experience such a wonderful place.

I'll be bringing you more Japan inspired art soon :)

Much Love,

Clemencia

Dream of Building Community

I dream. I dream awake.

I come home from work and for days now, while I am cooking, washing the dishes, sweeping or whatever else I am doing at home, I catch myself day dreaming, I imagine myself sitting with a laptop (which I don't have) ha ha ha and simply writing about my life and everything I like, all I can think of is writing, coming to my blog and write.

 

I've been having this thought for a few months now but lately it has been very persistent especially the last few days, so from all the personal growth books, podcasts and summits that I have read and listen to, that's exactly what I have to do. 

Write.

I know that a thought that doesn't leave you alone is for a reason, you have to pursue it. You have to follow that instinct. You have to listen to it and do it. For your own sake, for your own sanity :)

I could go write in my journal and write for myself, which I do, but then I don't get the interaction of other people, which I like; plus I am also much faster typing than writing with a pen and paper. Sometimes when I journal in my notebook my hand is not as fast as my brain and most of the time I don't even understand what I wrote since I am doing it so fast to catch up with my thoughts.

Anyways, so here you'll have me, coming to my blog, following my instincts, writing about whatever I have to write that day. Things that I learn, my thoughts, opinions, things that are bugging me in my head ha ha ha, well you get the idea :)

I hope you can come follow me and interact with me in this new journey :)

Feathers - A Connection with Spirituality

I have made a commitment to myself 

to do things that I like 

in order to discover who I truly am.

Some of you might not even understand that

how can someone not know themselves?

but when you live an overprotected life,

where you were taught to do as is said 

and learn how to please everybody else

you kind of loose yourself growing up.

But it got to the point that things change for me 

and in my personal growth journey 

I came to learn that I needed to know who I truly am

and what I really like to be happy.

So here I am exploring all the things that I like 

one step at the time.

Here is art as one of them.

But art can't stay on the paper just to look pretty;

for me it has to mean something

it has to be practical, functional, useful.

I made these feathers

I chose a split complementary color scheme 

inspired by Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog

using blue-violet and blue-green.

           

Feathers is one of my favorite things

I believe I read somewhere that

 feathers represents a connection to spirituality

so just perfect for me

I also made three feathers, using three colors

 following Simon Says Challenge

After spraying the feathers

I decided to fill them up 

But I just couldn't leave it on the paper

I had to cut them out and see what would they look like 

Pretty I think :)

So here it is keeping me company on my computer desk :)

I would love to see what are you making, writing or reading

leave me a comment to come visit you

Much love,

Clemencia

WOYWW 461 Tiny Pages

Wow this week just flew by especially the weekend.

This week I am posting pictures of the pages of my tiny book
a lot of you have asked to see them, which makes me super happy :)
and as promised here they are

Let me start by explaining that this pages are about some of the things I like

I love...

Coffee, yes I love coffee

and I don't know what am I going to do the day I have to leave it 

for some health reason or something lol

I love to learn, and grow

I love to read, write,

and investigate my inner self more and more

I love nature

so I put the little mushrooms there

it was as close as nature as I had in art supplies ha ha ha

and that little stamp says Give Thanks

which is one of the things I always do

I love cultures and languages

so as soon as I saw this scrapbook paper 

I had to put it in my little book 

I love the beach

yes, thank goodness I live in Florida

but just so you know

 my dream place to live (again) is in Puerto Rico

I love art

I just can't leave this out

I love art 

I love art

I love art

it just feels so renewing, healing, grounding, inspiring, creative

did I say?

I love art? lol

I think I would be a happy camper if I could teach art too :)

Oh my gosh, this is another one that I just love!!!

I love to dance, some latin music baby

oh, I can feel it! ha ha ha

And the last page of my tiny book is that 

I love tiny things

Now of course there is a lot more things that I love

like yoga, meditation, doodling, writing, reading...

but I just couldn't fit it in my tiny book

which gives me a great idea of making things that shows others

what do I love and what am I all about :)

Thank you for stopping by

Lots of love,

Clemencia
