Scrapbook Workshop Making Memories Book

ScrapbookWorkshop

I’m really excited cause finally I can spill the beans :)

Ich bin echt total aufgeregt, weil ich mein Geheimnis endlich verraten darf :)

May Flaum asked me to be part in her wonderful new book Scrapbook Workshop by Making Memories- You can read more about it on Amazon. I love all the contributors and I’m thrilled to be part of it with all those amazing artists. You can find and preorder the book on Amazon.

May Flaum hat mich vor einigen Monaten gefragt, ob ich ein Teil ihres tollen neuen Buches Scrapbook Workshop – Making Memories –  sein wollte – Ihr könnte mehr über das Buch auf Amazon lesen. Ich liebe all die Beteiligten und freue mich riesig ein kleiner Teil dieser grandiosen Künstler sein zu dürfen. Ihr könnt das Buch vorbestellen und darüber etwas mehr lesen auf Amzon.

Have an amazing day! Euch einen grandiosen Tag :)

    Nathalie, your backgrounds, with all of their multifaceted layers, are so inspiring! It’s so neat to be able to see some of the other pieces from the “Zen” article!

    Thanks also for visiting and commenting at my blog! Your encouragement of my amateur photography skills is much appreciated!

Das Sketchbuch – The Sketch book

 

intro_sketchbuch2

It’s here- “Das Sketchbuch” a book filled with awesome a sketches and I’m thrilled that I’m one of the German Contributors. Tina  did a wonderful job with this book and I really love seeing all the inspiration by my ScrapArtZine Designteam collegues. It is a great inspiration source and well worth to order. I’m glad we finally have something in German too :)Endlich ist es so weit: Das Sketchbuch  ist da! Alle, die es vorbestellt haben, werden es (Zahlungseingang vorausgesetzt) bald in ihren Händen halten. Alle, die es noch nicht haben, sollten sich beeilen, es gibt noch ganz wenig Restexemplare. Das Buch ist ja streng limitiert, danach wird es keine Bücher mehr geben.Ich freue mich ein Teil des Buches zu sein und es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, sich die ganzen wunderschönen Umsetzungen der Sketche anzuschauen- eine tolle Inspiration. Vielen Dank an Tina  deren Idee dieses Buch war und die mit viel Liebe ganz tolle Sketche gestaltet hat!

Somerset Memories The Zen State of Art

ZenStateSomerset

My latest article in Somerset Memories is called the Zen State of Art and is my favorite one so far. This article is about how I believe that art heals, is an creative outlet, reducing stress and can help to covercome hard times in the past or the present and also can ease fears that overshadow you. I so wish I could share this article in whole with you. But I will just show you some of the artwork that is in there.

Mein letzter Artikel in der Somerset Memories heißt “The Zen State of Art” und ist wirklich mein Lieblingsartikel bislang. Der Artike handelt davon, dass ich glaube, dass Kunst heilt, ein kreatives Ventil ist, dass Streß reduzieren kann und auch hilft schlechte Zeiten in der Vergangenheit oder in der Zukunft zu bewältigen – und es kann auch Ängste verarbeiten. Ich wünschte, ich könnte diesen Artike im ganzen mit Euch teilen. Aber ich zeig Euch einfach ein paar der Layouts, die ich dafür kreiert habe.

*Drama*

SomersetSpring2011_DRAMA

Journaling reads: Could someone please clean up my life-script from Drama

*Hurt*

SomersetSpring2011_HURT

Journaling reads: It’s one of these days: I was hurt and all I want is cocooning myself

SomersetSpring2011_HURT2

*Believe*

SomersetSpring2011_Believe

Journaling reads: I really want to

*Snort*

SomersetSpring2011_Snort

Journaling reads: I wish I wasn’t so pig-headed sometimesAll the papers were created by myself using Spraypaints. The process of making those papers itself was putting me inte the Zen State of Art :)

Have a gorgeous day  and go and create!

Euch einen fantastischen Tag – geht und kreiert etwas!

    Hi, Nathalie! Hooray for your article! I too feel the same way about art and its cleansing, cathartic qualities. I discovered mixed-media about a year ago, after becoming unemployed and having to reinvent myself in terms of my career. If it weren’t for art, I know I could’ve never gotten thru all of the trauma and pain. Thanks for writing about the healing powers of art!

    I have and love this issue. My son saw your article and said “oh that’s by your friend from Germany” (too funny). I tried to explaining that although we’ve never met in person we are both part of a larger scrappy community. We both enjoyed the colorful LO’s! Thanks for being you Nat.
