21secrets_LIVE
I'm so pleased to share that I'm going to be part of cool art journaling adventure called "21 Secrets: Live."  Here's a bit about the workshop: 

Starting January 15 your host Connie Hozvicka of Dirty Footprints Studio and a past 21 SECRETS teacher will meet every Wednesday at 6pm EST for a LIVE! video broadcast where you can art journal along with us in real time, ask us questions through a chat format, laugh your hiney off, sip margaritas, and feel like we're right there with you in your studio LIVE!

Can't make the LIVE! broadcasts? No problemo! Each 21 SECRETS LIVE! broadcast is recorded and available for all members to keep and return to again and again! 

But the party doesn't just stop there–we'll keep the loving going in a private Facebook group and Flickr gallery too–so you can share your work, give and receive feedback, and be a part of a heart-centered supportive community of Artists!

You can read more about how the workshop works and see all of the teachers listed here.  The course is $125, but currently on sale for $95.  If you'd like to sign up, I'd appreciate it if you'd use this link, as I'll receive a small percentage of the sale.  Thank you!

If you'd like to win a spot in the class, leave a comment answering the following question:

What is something you struggle with when art journaling?

I will announce a winner on Friday!  

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. The winner of the 6×6 and 12×12 "Three Quarter" and "Profile" stencils is…

Congratulations, Theresa!  E-mail me your mailing address and I'll get the stencils out to you!!

  • I struggle so much with the journaling! I’m great at starting a page and getting to a point where it needs embellishment and writing, and I just can’t commit myself to writing the words on the page.

  • One of my main struggles is fitting art journaling into everyday life… especially as I don’t have a designated art area, it’s a lot of effort to get all my supplies out for a short amount of time.

  • I’m always afraid I will distract from the art. Is the journaling supposed to be part of the art? I can always come up with something to say…but where on the page, do I begin the wording? Thanks for the giveaway!! This is something I have been wanting to tackle for a very long time.

  • My struggle is that I go in too many directions, and end up reading about and planning art rather than opening my journal and getting some paint on it. I think a weekly class will help!

  • I struggle with consistency. I would like to have time (or a dedicated time) each day to play/work in my art journal but I have trouble doing that. Instead I tend to have marathon sessions where I sit for hours, but then have a dry spell.

  • Awesome giveaway! What I struggle with most… patience! I’m speed drawing/painting all the time and know my work would be soooo much better if I took more hours to work on it, which I mostly don’t. Thanks for this opportunity!

  • I struggle with accepting that there is no “right material” I must have or no “right technique” that I still need to learn in order to commit to the page. I struggle in not having others who share my enthusiasm for this thing I do, alone. This weekly program would connect me with those who share my love for this form of creative journaling.

  • I suppose I struggle with permitting myself to leave a page incomplete if and when I KNOW I need to stop…not because the page is done but because the muse has gone silent. I just love walking by an abandoned canvas or journal page weeks later only to find I again know EXACTLY what needs to be done next. Not every page needs to be finished the first time around…I’ve ruined pages that way. Thanks so much for a chance to win a spot in 21 Secrets…it’s an incredible learning/growing tool!

  • I am fairly new to art journaling, and I am struggling with a lot of it. For example, I find that I am writing small blurbs and after a week or so, I then decorate the page. It all looks pretty boring and I’m discouraged. I really need to get some inspiration and spice it up!
    Thanks for the chance of winning a spot!

  • It’s been a year since I started Art Journaling and I am definitely still struggling with the “journaling” aspect of art journaling and whether or not it is enough for the art part of journaling to be “enough” (therapeutic, creative, inspirational etc….whatever I need it to be) or if I should really push myself to journal.

  • Julie, thank you for the opportunity to win a space in this class.
    I’ve learned a lot about art journaling through your classes, I still struggle with layering and collaging. I am a member of the more is more club. By the time I get finished its a muddy mess. Or it isn’t anything like I expected. I can write until the cows come home but the actual mixing of techniques, stencils stamping, paper piecing, I am a mess.
    I hope to win a space in this class so that I can learn some easy peasy tricks of JUST DO IT! Lol

  • Hi…..I’m delighted with the thought of winning a spot in this class. I know I’d learn some great techniques.
    I struggle mostly with painting layers. I love using your stencils esp. with modeling paste. I love that look. I’ve been journaling for about 2 years and meet locally with two art groups who meet weekly. I’ve never done any art before now.
    I just cannot seem to master the techniques of layering. I do watch lots of You Tube videos….

  • This looks so amazing… I think I definitely want to do this! As for what I struggle with most in art journaling, I think it’s letting go enough to stop trying to make it “perfect” and to be honest and expressive. I haven’t yet gotten to the point where I can really put what I’m thinking and feeling onto a page. But I’m hoping to get there.

    I struggle most with being too concerned about what the finished piece will look like. This often prevents me from getting started, and when I do start it hampers my enjoyment of the process. Classes are a big, big help because there is so much encouragement to just DO it and not worry about the outcome.

  • I struggle with time compromising what I create. I have a demanding little one who wants mommy’s attention whenever she’s doing anything other than playing with him or watching him play. Time is at a premium. When I do have time, I want to do something special, but I feel limited. I would really love learning techniques to quickly apply what inspires me.

  • When I used to keep just a written journal, I would draw little code images in the text for things that I only wanted me to know. Eventually that segued into totally illustrated entries and then collaging. I should flip through an old journal. I wonder if I would still know what my codes meant! Take care:0)

  • Oh my – I struggle with a lot of things when working on my journal, but the biggest thing is knowing when to stop. I have pages that I started a year ago and have still been adding to or changing!!! I have really progressed in other areas and I love, love, love art journaling. When I first started in 2011, I had trouble just dealing with a white page and getting something on it. Now, the whole process has become a very important part of my daily life and has made me very happy. I wake up every day thinking about processes to try out, etc. This is such a perfect way to spend my retirement years!!!

Now, the whole process has become a very important part of my daily life and has made me very happy. I wake up every day thinking about processes to try out, etc. This is such a perfect way to spend my retirement years!!!

  • I struggle with layering. I see all these videos and tutorials where pieces of book pages, small pieces of paper, etc are added for a layering effect; then I look at my page and all I want to do is add color, stencil, and journal

  • My biggest struggle is keeping my supplies organized. It is so frustrating to have to stop to search for the glue stick I managed to bury under a pile of collage materials, or the paint brush that was in my hand just moments earlier.

  • I struggle with what to put on the page. I don’t have an issue with doing backgrounds but actual content. What I picture in my head rarely turns out on the journal page and then I get stuck with how to proceed. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in this class. It looks like it will be great!

  • A main struggle of mine is learning to let go and just express the emotion. I seem to want every page to be perfect. Each page turns into a potential “work of art”. Then I inevitably tense up and it’s not about the expression anymore. So frustrating.

  • All artists struggle with the scary blank page.
    It really doesn’t matter our experience or age.
    We pick up some paint and then start to think…..
    It’s enough to cause us to crave a stiff drink.
    So we then change our mind and pick up a pencil,
    Or a black magic marker, or perhaps a cool stencil.
    We finally get started…..a basecoat put down
    Then our big happy smile turns into a frown.
    Now we believe we must write words prolific
    Which surely will make the page simply terrific.
    But words do escape us and then we review
    The page we just finished, then start it anew.
    Round and round we do go trying to make it look great
    When all we need do is relax and create.
    I know that’s the key to making our art
    And not to stress out and start falling apart.
    So perhaps winning 21 Secrets next year
    Will make my artistic journal more clear.

  • I think that I struggle most with feeling scattered when I sit down to art journal. Part of my problem is that I’m interested in a variety of styles and types of art (and probably read and study about them a bit too much), so then when it comes time to put supplies to paper I have so many ideas rolling around in my head that I lose focus. The problem is probably made all the worse because I currently live in a studio apartment and don’t have any extra space to set aside as a permanent place to make art. “Studio” apartment seems like a bit of a misnomer, doesn’t it? 🙂
    Thanks for all the generous giveaways!

    I just found you on youtube, and followed to here (I’m a bit slow).
    With my art journal I struggle with my pages never looking as beautiful as I would like, I manage the freedom in my journal but I do wish my pages were pretty enough to show off sometimes.

  • My biggest struggle is that I can not journal on a white page. This means that I have to have several pages prepped with a color base so that when I can journal (I write A LOT on my pages) I have little to add to be able to process all my feelings on the page…It’s the rhythm of it and getting it to fit more seamlessly into my life!

  • I struggle with “simplicity”. I tend to over-do and over-think what I am doing. Sometimes that works well, but I would like to become more fluid in “less is more”.

  • Thank you for generously offering a free spot in 21 secrets 2014! What I struggle with in Art Journaling is perfectionism . . . . Once I “go out of the lines” I get frustrated, then I intentionally try to “make it look messy” and then I end up hating my work! I love other artists work when it is not perfect, but not mine 🙁
    Thanks again for the opportunity . . .Good luck everyone!

  • I struggle with time and organization, when I want to art journal I don’t find enough time on my busy schedule to pull out all the tools and paints I want to use, work with them and then put them back in place. A full time job, 3 kids and a big house keeps me pretty busy. I wish to organize my time and tools better. Thanks for the chance to win

  • Hi Julie! Thank you for Scrapbook Soup clips, because it isn’t showing in my area…yet! I love 21 Secrets so it would be amazing to win this!!!! With Art Journaling, I struggle at times with a focus for my writing. I find it relaxing to play with paint and mixed media…letting my spirit loose, and then releasing my thoughts, but IF I struggle, it is with a written focus that doesn’t take pages to release!!

  • I struggle with keeping it true to my own style. I like an organized chaos if there is such a thing. I think a page should make some sense (at least to me)and be cohesive, but still have a randomness to it! I’m still trying to get it “right”!!

  • I struggle with STARTING! I would love to sit down and create tons of awesome backgrounds, but I want the entire page-not just the words-to reflect what the page is going to say. Create as I go, you say? Then I’m afraid that the moment, along with what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it, will be gone. I also don’t want to do every page with watercolors, but I’m uncertain as to what I can write with on other media. Result? Most pages are blank. I return to my old-fashioned journal, and doodle, draw, and sigh, wishing I was actually creating the journal I see in my mind.

  • I have just started so probably my biggest challenge is just finding my style. My pages all look the same and I’m unsure how to change it up. I’m guessing it will come with more time. Thanks for the chance to win.

  • MUCH BIGGEST STRUGGLE is being honest in my journals. I am afraid to use my journal to work out my life because there is so much I don’t want anyone else to see, so I just stick to the pretty little pages and never use them the way I really want to. I’m thinking this class might help with that.
