Site News


Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a good start to the new year! February is only a week or so away and I've been incredibly busy getting ready for my new course which starts on Monday! :-) I've been enjoying looking at some of the work of many of the new members! Such inspiration, thank you!

Here follows the site news:


NEW - 24.01.2010 - The Art of Self Acceptance - Book Project. I've received quite a few wonderful entries already! Thanks to all who have sent me something so far! Just a reminder that the deadline for drafts is 20th Feb 2010. I'd love to get more more more of your work and thoughts submitted! If you want more information, pls read the discussion here; HERE.

NEW - 24.01.2010 - Paint & Pass Art Journal Project 2010 - Still in the process of thinking up a system, but news on this soon! x More info HERE!

NEW - 24.01.2010 - Creating Pretty PDFs - Some of you have asked for a class on how to create pretty PDFs! Good news! I've found software that can record my every computer move, so I'm going to do a class on it! Yay! Won't be for a while yet, but wanted to let you know. It'll probably run in April/ May/ June some time! So keep an eye out if you're interested! x

NEW - 24.01.2010 - Blogs & Forum - For interesting reads and interesting art discussions or hints & tips, don't forget to check out the BLOGS and FORUM on this site.

NEW - 24.01.2010 - Advertising - I'm thinking of getting some art-related ads up on this site to support the financial costs of the site! If you're interested in advertising on the site, pls email me on; willowing [at] gmail [dot] com.

NEW - 24.01.2010 - 4 new members of the network are being featured below! Please check out their work and leave them some love on their profiles, artwork or pages! They are; Annette Quirke, Donna, Misty Frederick and Bugsiecat

Remember that if you want to be featured at some point to have at least 3 images of your art (any kind of your art, doesn't have to be whimsy!) in your photo folder and make sure that your user icon is your own, not the default network icon.

If you want to be featured, please leave your name in this forum/ thread.

NEW - 24.01.2010 - Photo Uploads - Just a reminder; please try to avoid uploading images to the photo folders that are not art related! This because I will have to start paying for storage soon and I'd like there to only be art images in the folders. :-) If you just import your stuff from flickr without specifying which it'll just import everything, so pls be careful. Thank You! x

NEW - 24.01.2010 - FABULOUS FACES; my new course, Fabulous Faces will start on Monday! You can still sign up though! For more information and how to sign up go HERE, or scroll up the page! :-)

Love to all of you
Tam

Conscious Living - Conscious Art


I, like many others, am quite concerned with the wellbeing of our beautiful planet. I will be devoting this section to conscious living, environmentally related art projects and things such as recycling, green living and helping those in need both humans, animals and/or plant life.

love this idea by Craft Chi for making magnetic bookmarks from bits of advertising and packaging. See photo below. Full instructions are shown here.
