This quarter of the Get Messy season has been a busy one and I don’t think I did as much spreads as before. This was all in between the 2-month lockdown and the flurry of activities after, from making sure we got to make doctors’ appointments, looking for new apartment to actually moving and unpacking. Whew! Looking back, I was glad I took a breather from creating to ease the pressure of needing to show up all the time. So here’s my art journal pages for this second quarter of 2022 starting with the Season of OK. The Season of Mess was an inspiring season. And then finally for June,…

The team of Teachers for Wanderlust 2023 has been announced, and I am thrilled to tell you that I am one of the guest teachers!!! Having been a Wanderlust student myself, the year-long courses are truly nourishing for the soul and help me get unstuck with my creative practice. The teacher line up for 2023 is as amazing as the past years. They each bring a unique technique, idea, approach and process to art journaling. These are just some of my art journal pages from 2021 and 2022 Wanderlust classes. It’s literally an adventure! If you have not done Wanderlust before, Wanderlust 2023 is 55 mixed-media lessons, all downloadable and…

Early this year, Shilpa (@nagaonkarshilpa on IG) asked me if I would like to do a collab with her and of course, I say “YES!” Coming up with the challenge was the easy part. The tricky part was the timing especially with lockdown in Shanghai that last 2 months and moving apartment. Finally we came up with our date. Just excited to be on this journey with her as I’ve always been a fan of Shilpa’s style and colours. What is this challenge about, you wonder? It’s all about finding a new use for things we have around the house. Shilpa and I believe in reusing, repurposing, and giving items…

May came and went. In between being in lockdown, trying to stay positive amidst everything and trying to find recipes to match what I had available, cleaning the apartment and work… well it was all happening all at once. This challenge from Get Messy was probably one that made the days a bit better, it was something I looked forward to playing in my art journals. And I even got to take some process videos! So what I used is this small (I think around A6) size old journal/diary. It is dated 2017 but have not thrown it out because I thought maybe I can do something with it since…

Art journaling has been filling up my time these days that a lot of my other projects have been on hold a bit longer than I had planned. Just thought I’d share some of the Get Messy art journal pages I’ve been working on and these has been quite uplifting and fun. First up are my pages for the Season of Courage. Here are my pages for the Season of Enough. And then finally, the March season. Get Messy is more than just art journaling. It is a community of artists who support each other. And it is a fantastic community to belong to. Check out the Get Messy website.…
