What’s the Painted Paper Project?
It’s all about creating heartfelt bits of art to send to friends, family, or even new pen pals. It’s about sending colorful hugs and thoughtful notes in the mail.

When you are creating and something isn’t working what do you do?

Read MoreJunque Art Studio Play - Playing With Color
/
It's time for another Junque Art Studio Play™ video! (Formerly Fast Forward Art Play™) It's really all about playing, having fun, and discovering new things. I try to make time several times a week to play and explore in my art journal. To get in the "play" state of mind I find it helps when I limit my time to 30 minutes or less. When my time is limited I tend to not over think things and just let things happen. (Most of the time anyway.)
