Cake Journal

Good morning! It feels so much like spring this morning it is so wonderful! But, I know it is probably just a tiny break in the weather, and that Mother Nature has a few more storms in her arsenal of Winter.

I've been working on a whole new series of journals and here is a picture of one with an inset close-up of the cupcake on the bottom. As soon as it is done it will be posted to my Etsy shop. :-) I hope your Sunday is lovely too!

Also, I have one more Creative Art Journaling Class at Hopkins Center for the Arts coming up April 19th and April 26. It is two funfilled evenings of talking and creating journal pages and making a lovely mess that will help get your creative juices flowing!

Happy New Year! I have been so busy, which is a good thing, but completely slacking on the blogging! This little painting is 10" x 30" and so yummy you just want to eat it! Those are the best kind of treats, calorie free and lovely.

I am painting with mostly gouache paint lately and fluid acrylics (which is what the above painting was done with) you probably can't see the relief, but there is a lovely texture of frosting and sugary icing on each 'treat' that I achieved with gel medium. I literally, no joke, have gone through an entire half gallon of the stuff…I love the layering/waxy effect that it adds to my paintings! Not to mention it is EXACTLY like frosting a real cake!!!

So, hang on to your hats everyone, I will predict it now….2011 is going to be an amazing year!!!!!!!!!

Hang on to your coffee cups, there are now COZIES available at jenniferinspired.etsy.com!

I did the artwork and Jenni Johnson Smith did the sewing/creating of the cozies, aren't they LUSCIOUS?!!

Just had to share. :-) Look for more stuff in the coming weeks and months, our wish list is growing everyday, but for sure we will have bags, pillows, Christmas Stockings, and other fabulous treasures!
