The Last Party! Paint Party Friday

The week started slow but It headed toward the right direction. I made watercolour art, created junk journaling, abstract art and I even made rubber stamps. I've created a Notion account so I can research topics that I'm interested in. Is it weird that I enjoy research? lol  So far I'm learning about Zines, Rubber Stamps and Art History. 

Here is the Zine I made.

It snowed this week in Toronto.

This week I've been creating art everyday for the #100DayChallenge and I am very proud of my self. I am enjoying the process and learning to let go and have fun. It feels good to create and find inspiration. I'm truly grateful. 
I wanted to say thank you for all your love and support in my previous post. I appreciate all your comments and love. 
Mixed Media Layering and adding various pieces of paper on the page is so much fun. This piece is GRATITUDE for LifeI used paints, markers, crayons and paper.

Journaling in my favourite bullet journal Leuchtturm 1917I created a self portrait and a collage. 

Sometimes when I don't know what to paint or draw I just make shapes and colour them in. This makes me happy.

Junk Journaling

It's so much fun to recycle paper bits and put them together on a page. 

I love junk journaling. 

Abstract 

I used acrylics and markers

Sometimes if a piece doesn't work out I put it down for a while and go back to it. 

This was my least favourite and now its one of my absolutely favourite pieces.

Thank you Julie!

Two days ago I did my treatment and now I have three more left to do. I had a really hard day yesterday but I am feeling better today. I've been really enjoying making artwork everyday. It's been so relaxing and fun. I put on my music and light my candle and have fun.
