OOOH HOW EXCITING....!!!!!!
I have been so busy travelling, teaching, being Mother of the Bride etc, that I completely ran out of time to tell you about a fabulous online class that I have been asked to participate in. Now, as you know, I don't join in many as my schedule is too hectic, but this one really spoke to me and I couldn't say no. That tells you how good it is. doesn't it.
How frikkin exciting is that???
Rather than tell you all about it, you might as well hear it from Effy herself, as she tells it better than anyone, (well it is her baby, lol)
I am so excited to announce that I have put together an amazing collaborative experience for you in which you will get to sit down (virtually, of course) with me, Effy, and a dream team of FIFTEEN of my favourite mixed media art teachers. Together, we are going to immerse ourselves in the whys and hows of mixed media art journaling through thirteen full lessons, two bonus lessons and FIFTEEN ADDITIONAL LESSONS by yours truly!
Check out this list of names:
Tamara LaPorte, Tangie Baxter, Dyan Reaveley, Sarah Trumpp, France Papillon, Micki Wilde, Juna Biagioni, Iris Fritschi-Cussens, Marieke Blokland, Nolwenn Petibois, Jeanette Montero, Kelly Hoernig, Felicia Borges, with bonus lessons by Andrea Schroeder & Chelle Stein!
What makes this class really special for me (and maybe for you, too) is that along with the lessons and musings from your teachers, you will also get a full length video walk through of my own personal take on each teacher's lesson! In other words, I'll be right there with you, in the
learning trenches, making mistakes, working out substitutions, and figuring out how to apply each lesson to my own style of art!
BONUS: I will be teaching my much loved Ultimate Class as well, bringing our total up to 31 lessons!
*31 in depth lessons for $99.00! (15 by our guest artists and 16 by your hostess, Effy Wild) Class begins October 1, 2015*
To join go HERE
Need More Details?
*Here's how it works:*
All guest artist lessons + all bonus lessons will be live and available for you to enjoy on October 1 2015! It's an ART JOURNAL BUFFET, Y'ALL!
Each guest teacher's lesson will include in depth video tutorials, a supplies list, and a PDF walk through with musings. All videos and PDFs will be down loadable and are yours to keep. Do them in order or skip around and do the ones that call to you on any given day! You have total freedom here!
*I will also demonstrating my own take on each guest teacher's lesson, including the bonus lessons.* Every second week I will release a new lesson that is, essentially, my 'take on' a guest artist's lesson. All of the additional lessons provided by me will also include in depth video
tutorials, a supplies list that includes my suggested substitutions, and a full colour PDF walk-through.
The class will remain open indefinitely. What does this mean? As long as I'm still teaching, and Vimeo still serves video, you will have access to all the content.
Fifteen Teachers! Thirty-One Lessons!
At least thirty hours of video instruction!
All for $99.00!

In my portion of the class, I have recorded videos where I walk you back through some of my very first art journals from years ago, showing and explaining how and why my style has developed. You also get to find out what art journaling means to me, and how and why it is like oxygen to me.
Then there are step by step videos where I journal a page from start to finish. I cover hidden journaling, masking techniques, collage, doodling, writing and finishing. You too can follow and journal along with me.
To celebrate we are doing a giveaway. Yes thats right we are giving away a place for this course. Leave me a blog comment telling me why you would like it and I will pick a winner.
In the meantime for more details, go check it out HERE
I do hope I have got you excited enough to join me on this fabulous journey with an array of fabulous teachers, all reigned upon by the Queen, Effy herself. Treat yourself and inhale your own oxygen along with us.

Art from the Heart Tutors, Number 4, Karen Hayselden
Continuing with our showcasing of the fabulous tutors we have for you at Art from the Heart.
This week it is the very talented Kassa
Hi there lovely friends
My name is Kassa Hayselden
(I'll jump straight in and try not to turn you all green hahaha! - I live 15 mins away from Art from the Heart, how lucky am I! living on the doorstep and regularly visiting Dyan's fabulous studio eeeek!) - hope you don't hold it against me <3 font="">
So coming from an 'arty' family background, I've created since forever and I love it, art excites me, makes me happy, so I create what I call 'Happy Art!' I can't get enough of tiny detail and colour and my daily inspiration well its got to be nature, fashion, my Mother and daughter (not necessarily in that order :-)))
Mwah xoxo
One of Kassa's fortes is colouring. She loves to colour and will spend hours doing it, especially when housework is beckoning!!!
Here's a project she did using the Dylusions range. The main image is from the stamp plate Love Struck Lucy
Here are coloured images from one of her favourite stamp companies Stampotique
If you would like to take a class with Kassa at Art from the Heart, the next one is on Sun 20th Sept and is called Crazy Collage, where you can do a combination of the following two collages. To book a place go HERE
Kassa also runs a monthly club called Stampotique Boutique, the next one is on Sat 26th Sept.

Brace yourself...
for my new product release...
Yes I did say new product...in September.
We do like to catch you unawares!!!
First of all we have the new designer accessory bags. Every designer has contributed their own artwork to the same design bag. This gives you the chance to have the same great product in your favourite designers styles. One or all of them!!!
And here are a few sample pages finished...
I'm sure you can see how versatile it is.
I have just heard that all three items, the bag and the two journals, are on the shelves and ready to go.
So what are you waiting for..????
Enjoy xx

Could you guess this one would be mine, lol
Then we have something I have been excited about for the longest of times.
A new size of journal...
A square journal filled with just my fabulous mixed media paper. 8 x 8 pages just ready to be filled with fabulous artwork. Unfortunately my sample is on my desk at Ranger so I can't show you any sneak peeks at the moment.
BUT..........
Yes you are seeing it right....
welcome at last to my black journal...
whoop de frikkin whoop and all that jazz...
I have been after a black journal for a long, long time and the journal fairy listened and here it is.
As well as being fabulous for all my white doodling, it takes my paints fabulously, still giving that rich intensity which is offset by the black showing through.
Here are some background pages
I'm sure you can see how versatile it is.

Jay to the rescue...
Our Jay ak The Resident Bit of Glamour works for me at Reaveley Towers. She helps me with design etc and is really getting into the swing of making samples. Because my iPhoto is playing up she sent me over some pics of things she has done
Here are some of the border stencils doodled.
Two quick step outs of a tag...
And some finished samples

Tons of blocked and stencilled backgrounds
And some finished samples
Nice one Jay, you did a fantabulous job.
Jay is getting married in 3 weeks to the gorgeous Tom-tom and I will be flying home to help with all the last minute preparations etc. Unfortunately I am missing out on the hen night which is tonight :-(
but I am sure a wonderful time will be had by all.
Whatever you are doing this weekend, make it a good one.
Enjoy xx
