Friday Find: Art, Heart & Healing

Forgive me, as I don't remember where I saw the link to Tam's online Art Course, except for the fact that I was excited to be led back to her whimsical world.  You see, about a year or so ago, I became very interested in mixed media art journalling.  Unfortunately the perfectionist in me spoiled all the fun, and after a few disastrous attempts at translating my mind's eye, I threw in the towel.

During this time however, I happened upon Tam, and purchased the DVD of her original World of Whimsy course.  Yes, it's another half completed course, but who knows, I may be ready to dust off the covers of my moleskine sketchbook and try again!

Anyhow, I discovered today that Tam is generously running a free online Art Course.
It commenced officially on 18th October, but from what I can see, all materials are available on the members group site - and the first week alone is 2 hours worth of video! 
That should keep me busy this weekend :)

(Slightly late) Friday Find: Creating Action

Cam and I took a short break in rural Wales to take advantage of the fact my mum is in respite care for the week, and I foolishly assumed there would be Internet connection there.  Needless to say, there wasn't, hence the delayed Friday Find posting here.   The break was quite literally a wash out which I won't bore you with the details of now, but let's just say I am typing today because we cut the holiday short by 24 hours.  Yeah, that bad.

On a positive note though, via Kind over Matter, I came across this little gem from Tara Gentile, otherwise known as Scoutie Girl.   It seemed apt, following on from my post on Thursday, for me to actually try and take action.  So maybe this will help.
