| Introduction | Life as art... is it too much to expect? Not when you have the right tools. Read reviews of the latest art books, supplies, and a small selection of handmade goods aimed at helping you lead a life filled with creativity. I also intend to share creative projects by both myself and guest artists. ---------------------------- I am an artist and journaler, freelance writer and reviewer whose specialty is in the mixed media art/craft world. I am on design teams that create beautiful art meant to inspire. I teach children's visual journaling and art classes. And I cannot wait to share all these things and more with my readers. ---------------------------- Through agreements with several publishers I also review their latest art/craft books and magazines for various online places. These reviews are on Amazon, LibraryThing, and the Journal Pages Facebook group (over 500 members) when appropriate. I also do articles and product reviews for CraftCritique.com. In the the right sidebar of my site you'll see a listing of the publishers and companies that I am currently working with. I am also a member of SheBlogs, BlogHer, theMomBlogs, and ChicExecs. |
