My name is Jo and I blog
at Let’s
Art Journal. I live by the sea in the North West of
England with my hubby. I started Art Journaling in 2015 as a way of
expressing my life through words and pictures and it has now become a
passion of mine which I like to share with others. I’m captivated
by the variety of techniques and materials that can be used to create
so many different styles of art and love everything Mixed Media. I
love nothing better than to experiment with different techniques and
products, get creative, put my ideas into practice and have lots of
fun doing so!
I am often inspired by
things I see and do, and I'm also inspired by the
quote “never lose your sense of wonder”.

Hi my name is Linda and I live
here in the UK. I have been crafting for many years and my passion is
mixed media. I love nothing better than getting all my paints, waxes,
stencils etc to create a work of art. I hope you like my canvas as I
had a lot of fun creating it.
Here are the links to my blog and my
You Tube channel.

Thanks
so much for having me as a guest here at the Creative Artiste
Challenge Blog.
My
creativity never used to be on the visual side - I was more the
words, music, books, theatre type. When I became a freelancer in
Spring 2012 after eight years at the Royal Shakespeare Company as a
Text and Voice Coach, it was supposed to give me more time for
friends and family. I had no idea that within weeks I would be in
thrall to a whole new creative passion -
stamps/inks/paints/texture/stencils - you name it, I want to play
with it! There's always so much to learn, discover and explore. Now I
have to balance the two worlds - hence the name of my blog, Words and
Pictures. So much for friends and family! I love mixed media
work, with lots of layers and techniques, but sometimes some simple
inking and stamping is enough to make me happy. For this project for
Creative Artiste, I've used an old pendant watch I used to wear along
with one of my quote stamps to create a little springtime Curio box,
filled with my favourite wild flowers and grasses, as well as lots of
mixed media textures on the box. I hope you like it! There are lots
more pictures and details of how I made it over at Words and
Pictures, so do come and pay me a visit.
