journal pages + links I love.



I get into these grooves where I can't seem to work on anything larger than a journal page. I've always worked better, and more intuitively, on a small scale--although I do occasionally try to work bigger. I so admire those painters/mixed-media artists who work on a huge scale, from the size of an apartment wall to the size of a city building.

Here are some thing I've been inspired by lately:

- The Ma Books blog is so beautiful, a place full of the stories and images of mothers.
- This blog post from Erika Morrison had me laughing and crying.
- This video of Jessica Sparrow hoopdancing is incredible.
- Faithe Vanssills instagram is a smorgasbord of inspiration and color.

    1. Small can be good, for sure. I mean, if I only have 10 minutes to create, I can get the foundation laid for a piece in that time, which is very satisfying.
      I'm so glad to hear that you're hooping! It is such a fun way to express yourself. :)
