I am very new to blogging and I am excited about this bloghop! I have visited other bloghops but I have never been a participant. As I have previously posted, this bloghop is all about sharing the art that has been created from students of Junelle Jacobson's online class "The Art of Wild Abandonment". This workshop has been a remarkable experience. Junelle is so down to earth and you can feel the love she has put forth in this class. I had the pleasure of taking another online class that Junelle gave in collaboration with Christy Tomlinson in Dec. of 2011. . . this online workshop was called "The 12 Ornaments of Christmas". That is when I first was introduced to Junelle and her work and have been an avid follower of her blog, http://yesandamen.blogspot.com, and art since.
This workshop has evolved in many of the "students" becoming very active in our private Facebook group. We are all hoping that when this class is taken offline that the Facebook group stays active. We share ideas and help each other with art problems. Many friendships have been made through this art group.
All of us connected with this bloghop hope you will enjoy our artwork as much as we have enjoyed creating it and sharing it with you. Blessings to Junelle and Christy for bringing their talent to us!!!
These "girlies", as I call them, where a result of the earlier class I had taken from Junelle....they are painted on mini canvases . . .
good wishes and happiness to all . . . thank you for visiting!
Your cupcakes are so delicate and pretty. Awesome job!

Claire, I am also happy I joined the hop....it was much fun and a big THANK YOU for all your hard work making it happen. I was apprehensive to start this blog thinking "who in this world cares what I do?" But this was a great venue to begin and through this online class we have been so fortunate to make all these new art friends. It would be wonderful to keep in touch with you and all the other fine gals out there in Junelle Land! Thanks for the sweet comment and good wishes to you over there in the UK.....
DeleteCute girlies! I didn't take that Dec class with Christy to busy in Dec so I try not to take any classes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stopping and leaving a comment. I was busy in December as well but thought "for the small investment I could even use it in January". My absolute favorite part of that class was being introduce to Junelle. If I hadn't taken the workshop I would had never known about the art of wild abandonment or yes and amen. So I think I was meant to extend myself this time....good wishes to you.....and again thanks for visiting.
DeleteI love your girls! So cute with their flying up...they look like they are loving life!
ReplyDeleteThose girlies are absolutely fun to do....thanks for visiting and leaving a comment....good wishes
DeleteFran, your artwork is delightful!! I'm so glad I kept going on the blog hop because it's been a huge inspiration! I'm in week one... just started and this blog has given me so much to hope for! Love the sheep with the radishes in her mouth... darling!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb for you sweet words....this workshop with Junelle has been a huge inspiration for me as well....the online class is just wonderful - one of the best I have ever taken. I'm glad your part of this workshop as you will get so much out of it. . . good wishes
DeleteLove all your journal pages, especially the one with the sheep and the radishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dolores for stopping by and leaving a comment. One of these days I actually add some words to that journal page....that's the hardest part for me...the actual journaling!!! good wishes to you....
DeleteLove your blog, your artwork is very happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to leave a comment...it is appreciated....good wishes
Deletelove the cupcake under glass it just makes it seem so special! the sweet sheep holding the radishes, great idea and so original LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take credit for the sheep with the radishes, but I can't. I think Junelle had a sketch very similar to this one in one of her sketchbooks that I saw and did my own version. I can take credit for the sketch and painting, however....and thanks for taking time to leave a sweet comment - good wishes

ReplyDeleteThank you Cheri. I created the knitting gal for a special friend of mine....she really does knit pairs and pairs of socks and she has been a friend for over 20 years [that's her cat Murphy]. She is actually teaching me to knit them as well. Thanks for the visit and good wishes...

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting. The "socks to knit" was created for a special friend of mine of 20+ years who actually knits pairs and pairs of socks. That is her cat Murphy, as well. Good wishes....
DeleteLoved seeing your work in one place. I remember seeing your "too many socks to knit" and laughing! And that little sheep holding radishes in her mouth -- made me smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet for visiting.....the bloghop was fun and I'm a newbie to this blog thingy....hopefully I'll be able to keep posting new art....good wishes to you.
DeleteI love seeing all these delightful works collected here in one place. I like them all but feel especially happy when I look at the rascally, radish-eating sheep. Good job figuring out the blog thing!
