Artful Accidents

Don't you just love accidental art?  No stressing, no blocked mojo, no editing until you're happy with the look - it just Happens.  On a recent trip to San Francisco, and tour of Alcatraz island, I had just such an artful accident - with an amusing story to go along with it.

The best part of the story is that I really do love this photo!  The tilted perspective, the water and fog in the background, amazing white space for journaling - it's perfect :)  When I looked at the photo on the camera I expected to see a blurry mess - that I was more than ready to delete - but instead I got an Artful Accident.  Don't you just love it when that happens?

Art Helps Me Breathe

Welcome to my new creative musings blog! A place where I can share my passion for all things ART, and (hopefully) inspire artistic tendencies in others. I love all genres of art, but my most common artistic outlet involves capturing life (more commonly referred to as "Scrapbooking").

I love both digital and traditional life art and am always looking for new techniques to master and incorporate into my creations. For that reason, I have decided to embark on a Project 52 this year that focuses not only on taking photos, but on learning new techniques - photography, digital art and mixed media. My goal is to be able to post not only my completed pages, but also the techniques I incorporated into those pages.

My other major artistic project this year is completing Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Caravan.  I am such a huge fan of both Art Journaling and Tangie and can't wait to get started on this year's Adventure Quest :-)

So here's to a year filled with Artfully Inspired Adventures!
