Art Journal Centerfold

This week, I interviewed the Creative and Juicy Connie Hozvicka of Dirty Footprints Studio. In honor of her, I added a centerfold fold out to my journal so I could go Big and Fearless like her workshops. Check her out at http://www.dirtyfootprints-studio.com and her videos are at http:/www.youtube.com/user/KitchenoftheSoul

It's verrry Connie! Starting off with the Wreck This Journal pages and then doing Connie inspired faces. Love it!

@EvelineUK Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it.

Loved this! It was fun to watch you run the heat gun with one hand and paint with the other - really fearless!

[TheArtisticBiker]

@CathyBugDriver1 NORMALLY, my left hand is pretty much useless. This video even shocked my wife when I began painting with it while drying the other side. Thank you so much!

Great video, I can't quiet get into the whole journaling thing, I'm still in sketch book mode, and some of my sketch books have been ripped up by Taz devils or got venom splattered on them by snakes. I have a sort of journal with the different stages of my prints, a sort of record of printmaking. I am sort of interested, would love to see your stuff in real life.

[TheArtisticBiker]

@billflowers I've seen in your vids where you sometimes scratch notes into your sketches.  That's the same thing. :) I am really looking forward to your visit!

@jennystamps You can definitely start with your stamps! Stamp different colors, stamp them into patterns, stamp them randomly across the page. While the ink is still wet, rub 'em with a baby wipe or spritz 'em with a spray bottle. Highlight around them with watercolors or crayons. Then write about it with a paint pen or marker! I always love to hear about people trying it for the first time. The important thing is to make it FUN! I hope you'll show us pix! Thank you so much!

@KitchenOfTheSoul Connie, it was great fun talking with you and I REALLY hope we get to do it again soon! Thank you so much!

@MsJoyceG I was thinking Playboy too! I was *SO* hoping people would get that it was a foldout and not the naughty photos. :) Thank you so much!

Hi Blade. I love this!! I've bought all the product to start art journaling but for some reason I am scared to start. It's strange because I've heard that it can be so "Freeing". I think one of the reasons I haven't started is because I can't draw AT ALL. I can hardly draw a stick person. LOL. Do you have any tips on where I can start? Thank you for all you do. Your work is truly inspiring. Take care, Jenny :)
