It goes on …Or Art Journal Page

I do love this quote by Robert Frost:

In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life:

It goes on!

In my head I do know that…I just wish I would remember to feel that way every time something stupid happens ;) I think it is interesting though that oftentimes I set my heart on something, be disappointed when it doesn’t work out and then in retrospective I look at it as “oh good thing that didn’t happen!” I am a very positive thinking person but boy do I pout and scull if things do not work out- LOL.

Are you the same or are you good in shrugging obstacles in life off?

Have a gorgeous day

Nat

Hi Nat, love reading your blog & seeing your work. You crack me up sometimes! Especially today where in your list of items used you included your finger! Too funny! Hope you are enjoying living here in the states now. I hope to someday make it to NY & meet you & Julie. If you ever want to come visit Florida I would be happy to have you stay at my house! I live in Cape Coral which is next to Ft. Myers which is on the FL west coast south of Orlando.

THose words are so true and I to forget and throw a fit now and then that life is not going the way I want it to be. Then I have to remind myself that I am here to serve and that he knows better then me where my life is suppose to go and when I really look to see what is happening it is an amazing day and I am in an amazing place!

I expect things to be a certain way and when they’re not I get disappointed. I pout for a bit but then realize that everything happens for a reason and life will indeed go on. Lovely quote to use on an art journal page Nat. I especially like the pink in the lower left corner as it brings “hope” to the page.

Photos of Taste of Collage Workshop

Collage Mixed Media New York City workshop

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and I taught our Taste of Collage workshop yesterday at The Ink Pad in New York City.

We had an amazing group of 25 students – some coming from pretty far away and some are from the New York and New Jersey area :) In a way it reminded me a bit of our 2011 Mixed Media Circus Julie and I had organized in Germany …the room, the fun, the creativity…just not the temperature ;)

We taught our collage class alternating throughout the day with the same supplies but with our own approaches in techniques and theories to collage. We have taught with this concept before and I do enjoy it every time. It goes pretty much with our philosophy that there is no right or wrong…there is just different. Just as everyone and everyone’s taste in a class is different…embrace it – as I always say.

The other advantage of teaching with two teachers is that you can be VERY hands on with students during the class – even if the class is bigger. I love this. The personal interaction and being inspired by my students is my favorite part of a class and I had several moments where I was itching to get to my studio and play during the class (I was fair though and stayed- LOL)

Teaching with someone else means a lot of trust and respect for the other person…I am very picky about my workshops – I put a lot of thought into them and I want to make people happy and have them have just a good creative, valuable time – so it needs to be someone I know is equally minded AND well it helps of course if you have a close friend being on the same page as you :) I just love Julie – with all her teasing- LOL – and I couldn’t think of any better co-teacher – Julie, you inspire me constantly and I think we make a good team ;)

I think you can tell we had a great time – and we do hope our students had too. The collage results were amazing! Splish, Splash, Paint, Rip, Cut, Cover, “Killing Babies” and “Getting” over the Pretty…no problem for those girls! And what you cannot see in the pictures because we are good in hiding this all ;) – the heater did not work and we were sometimes shuttering our teeth and working with coats and hats on and using the heating guns as heating stations . Another thing that I admired about our students – they knew that there was nothing we all could have done about it and they just lived through it with a real NY/NJ attitude and created the heck out of their supplies :) You rock!

Thank you also to The Ink Pad for organizing and having us- you are wonderful and I am looking forward being back this Friday for more Artvergnugen :) and on June 8, 2014 for a day long class called “Acrylic Media -Demystified” . It is a class I always wanted to teach in person…here is a sneak – all details will be up the next days on The Ink Pad website and you can sign up already by calling the store.

Have a gorgeous day!

huge hugs

Nat

Stroll Through The Hood

Jersey City Photos

A lot of times I get asked what inspires me. And one of my key answers is always “a stroll through the hood”. It might be street art, it might be thoughts or feelings connected with certain sights, it might be stuff I find to buy…in one way or the other you might find the photos, the thoughts, the feelings, the colors or anything from those strolls in my art journal, a mixed media project or a scrapbooking layout.

I would love to show you once a month what inspired me while strolling through my neighborhood. I hope you like the little insights into my daily life where I live . This is also a wonderful way for me to remind myself on the inspiring things in the hood. Maybe you get inspired by those posts and even invite ME to a stroll in YOUR hood – feel free to grab the logo and leave a comment for me on the post and share!

It has been a while since I did this….why? Because of this:

and this

perfect days to stay inside and work in the studio…or travel (NOT!) but sometimes it looked like this:

and then I bit the bullet and bundled up to go outside ;)

It was COLD- but I was rewarded with fun stuff like this

Who could have PERDICTED? And then with a friend visiting you – it is even more fun to stroll through the hood :)

Especially when said friends likes the same grungy stuff as I do …btw- I do love the background to this- it already inspired me to something :)

And since they are big here on Security cameras…this is a good advice me thinks :) :) :)

I do love this building- It will be in one of my canvases some time- I am sure.

And a little view over to Manhattan…YES…we are the Sixth Borough…so there Hoboken…don’t even try to claim this…LOL (I figured a bit of local patriotism doesn’t hurt ;) )

And an insane walk through snow and ice and wind chills in Liberty State Park rewards you with this view…

I mean…all in all it is all about

And as for Spring…well…gotta make your own spring at home I guess ;)

Hope you had fun strolling through my hood – until next time…in J.C. :)

Thank you do much for the pictures and narrative of your stroll thru the hood. I don’t do much mixed media anymore but loved it at Art Venture. When taking your canvas class, I futzed around with materials a bit until I came up with a friend. She loves roses and calligraphy which were on one sheet of paper. I immediately selected it, and knew it was going to be for her.

Your question made me realize that I am most of the time inspired by the people for whom I make things. Even cards. When it is scrapbook pages, generally it is materials and ideas for titles that come together. I don’t even worry about matching my photos to papers. I like all the colors together.

Good question! But again, living on west coast, I enjoyed your stroll… you can keep the white stuff, though!

Nat, thanks for the stroll! It makes me want to take a stroll in my neighborhood and look for some inspiration. It also makes me want to go to our downtown area and walk around with my camera and capture some inspiration there, too. We have a small downtown as Winston-Salem is not a big city but we do have some lovely architecture. Inspiration can be found all around us, we just have to open our eyes and look with our hearts and our creative minds. I’ve been meaning to tell you how much I enjoyed Creative JumpStart. I’m already looking forward to next year! Thanks again for the walk-about and some giggles along the way!

Nice. I love the saying. It is so hard not to become furious with people who simply refuse to acknowledge, let alone accept, that today’s world is not the same as decades past. But the anger served no good purpose. Well if you have very low blood pressure, then it helps.

What do you think of the Liquitex paint markers? I just saw them for the first time last week. I’m intrigued.

Cards Stampendous Stamps

One of the things that make me really giddy is when I spy someone using my new stamps by Stampendous or also my Stencils with StencilGirl Products So I thought once in a while I would feature the work of those wonderful talented people with a new Series called: designed by n*Studio features:…..

And today I feature: Cheiron Brandon

Cheiron has been stamping and making cards since she took her first card making class in 2004. She has been published in Paper Crafts Magazine and teaches card making classes at The Ink Pad in NYC and One Little Spark in Little Egg Harbor, NJ . Recently she has started art journaling and loves mixing those techniques into her cards. By day, she works in the financial district and loves coming home at night to relax at her craft table. She lives in New Jersey with her husband Paul and their adorable rescue dog Big Boy.

And here are Cheiron’s amazing cards using my stamps and what she wrote about them:

I am always looking for different ways to use my stamps and I thought it would be fun to use them on cards. For the first one, I used the shapes to create a landscape to fit my tiny house. The circle became a “sun”, the dots “clouds” and the mesh type stamp was stamped in two different greens to create the “grass”. I used the stencils that come with the stamp sets to create the patterned paper that I cut the house out of.

For the second card I used the burlap stamp and embossed it with some tan embossing powder. It is the perfect stamp to ground an object on a card without adding a lot of bulk. The little heart was cut out of some scraps that I had made into a collage.

For the last card, I created “a work of art” by using Distress paints in dusty concord, evergreen bough and tarnished brass to paint directly on the stamp. A simple greeting makes it complete.

I love using these stamps in my art journaling, but am also glad that they are so versatile that card makers can use them as well.

—–

Thank You Cheiron for sharing your wonderful cards with me. I so love how you used the in so many different ways, creating backgrounds, whimsical landscapes and grounding totally related to the sentiments on the cards. LOVE!

Please check out Cheiron’s Blog– she posts heaps of inspiring projects there and I am sure you will enjoy it!

If you have done something with my stamps or stencils I would sure love to see

Fragmented J.C. Canvas

Acrylic paint canvas Jersey City Mixed Media

The last couple weeks I was working on a new 27.5×31.5 inches canvas. I had back in Hamburg already created a Hamburg themed one for the other side (below) and brought an identical canvas so that I could do a Jersey City Theme.

I cannot wait to hang the second canvas and I hope it will be looking as good up there as the other one. Lady Liberty btw ….I know you think NYC, right? pffff- no way…she is standing with her back to Jersey City…meaning she is in OUR yard…not NYC’s yard ;)

I am up for another canvas this size…but I might have to rethink the wall spacing problem soon ;)

Have a wonderful day

Ostsee Scrap in Germany – May 23-25, 2014

Art Journal canvas Mixed Media Scrapbooking workshop

So looking forward to be back at this wonderful event – since it is in Germany …and in German…I will post the details about it in German…:)

Ich freue mich riesig im Mai wieder in Deutschland beim Ostsee Scrap in Boltenhagen dabei zu sein. Es gibt nichts schöneres als entspannt in schöner Gegend kreativ zu sein – wenn ich nur dieses Foto vom letzten Jahr anschaue, kann es kaum erwarten :)

Ich werde die folgenden Workshops geben:

Freitag – 13.00-16.00 Uhr – Haptik-Nicht-So

In diesem Workshop mit Nathalie geht es um Techniken die Haptik erzeugen – spiel mit Monoprinting, Nats Stampendous Stempeln und Embossing Medien und kreiere ein kleines Buch zum Anfassen. Alle Techniken können wunderbar auf spätere Scrapbooking, Stempel und Mixed Media Projekte angewandt werden.

Samstag 8.00 – 11.30 Uhr – Strauchwerk

In diesem Workshop werdet ihr eine fantasievolle Leinwand gestalten. Verwendet Farben, Stencil, Stempel, Metall und andere Objekte um Strauchwerk ein neues Gesicht zu verleihen.

Sonntag 8.00 -11.30 Artvergnugen

Hier werdet ihr mit Nathalie in eine andere Dimension eintauchen und ein kleines Artjournal beginnen. Lernt tolle Techniken mit denen man Tiefe und einfache Effekte erzeugen kann und lernt Tipps und Tricks des Artjournalings. Nathalie zeigt euch wie sie an diese Sache rangeht… Spassfaktor mit inbegriffen!

Ich hoffe Ihr seid mit Andrea, Jana, Melanie und mir mit von der Partie :) Ich freue mich wie Bolle – LOL!

Tschüß Ihr Lieben

Wear It…or ArtJournal Page

Art Journal Stampendous

This was an art journal page I created in California last month.

The journaling says:
Wear it, you own it…don’t hide – time is to short to not embrace the bright things in life!

It actually sprung out of the feeling how hard it is as a woman to embrace success or things we are proud of to have accomplished. Usually because we fear that other people would take us as arrogant …It is the same with us when we got something cool to wear. Are you like me when you get a compliment about your clothing for example and say: “oh that thing…yeah…it was a) really cheap though b) it is soooo old though . How about we wear our success/nice clothes once in a while and say just “Thank You” and embrace it without a guilty feeling? I mean…do we really have to be a downer to ourselves all the time if there is enough people out there that keep us down? LOL- just saying ;)

By the way…I think my lady in my art journal really wears it- LOL- what do you think ? ;)
