In The Art Journal and A GIVEAWAY for Book of DAYS 2021

October was a very busy month for me. I only got a bit of work done in my art journal because I mostly focused on the Goddesses.

I’m very thankful for my art journal though. It acts as an ongoing art project that I can always rely on. For me, art journaling is a great form of therapy. I use the homemade book as both a journal and a sketchbook. Sometimes I can’t find the words for how I’m feeling, so I turn to art for means of expression.

Here are some of my recent art journal entries. You can tell 2020 has been quite a year.

I’m excited to see what 2021 has in store for all of us. One thing I know for certain is that I am teaching in Book of Days 2021 again!

I think this will be my 3rd year being a part of Book if Days. I’m so excited I get to do it again for 2021. It has been such a blessing in my life.

This class helps keep me inspired to fill my art journal. I make myself a new one every year for my birthday and am always able to fill it up thanks to the inspiration I get from this class.

Book of Days is a year long e-course hosted by Effy ‘Bird’ Wild. This has been designed to take you on a deep dive into the world of mixed media art journaling.

Lessons are suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced artists!

There are two new teachers every month. You will have access to prompts designed to be engaged in a written or art journal, full length mixed media art journaling tutorials that include videos, instructional PDFs, and lots of opportunities to grow, share and feather your artist’s nest with beautiful meaningful work.

A little bit about Book Of Days from Effy’s Website:

“Why It’s Called “Book Of Days”

Back in the day, a ‘Book of Days” was a journal in which the journal keeper would record the minutiae of their lives. These books included everything from the events of the day, appointments, what they ate, what they accomplished, what they were thinking, feeling, and experiencing. They often included sketches – especially from the world around them, and seasonal information to do with their gardens or the land around them, snippets of things they read or heard, prayers, ticket stubs, pressed flowers, and just about anything else you can think of. In late 2011, I decided that I wanted to adapt this idea for myself, but with art as personal expression and exploration being the primary purpose and focus, and Book Of Days was born.

Since that time, I have created and filled a new Book Of Days every single year, and so have my students! These books, which act as records of our inner life as well as our day to day happenings, become treasured companions along the journey.

In 2019, I decided that it was time to create a more expansive experience for my students by inviting other journal artists to join me so that instead of just learning about and adapting my way of doing things, they’d get a virtual buffet of ways from some of the best journal artists, known and emerging, out there today. It has been a beautiful experience, so we’re doing it again this year! “

This class, which will include 24 artists + over 33 lessons + monthly workbooks + SO MANY BONUSES will be $99 until December 31st, at which point it will go up to $120.

Also… I know, I was meaning to have my shop updated by now… but 31 listings is a lot harder than it seems.
I’m about halfway done with the shop update and hoping everything will be live by the New Moon this month!

Have a great week!
