Art with Wild Abandonment

That is the name of an AWESOME, inspirational ecourse I took last month hosted by my favorite, Christy Tomlinson.  The course was primarily taught by the adorable Junelle Jacobsen.  If you aren't familiar with Junelle, be sure to checkout her gorgeous blog at www.yes-and-amen.com.  Junelle is a complete delight!  Her beautiful spirit really shines through with everything she does.  So, today I'm telling you about Junelle and the class because I'm participating in a blog hop that features how this class inspired me.   So, here is some artwork I made during and after the class:
These are painted wooden blocks.  
The back sides.  
This is a copy of an art journal page that I created during the class.  I scanned it, printed it out on cotton fabric, and then decoupaged it onto a painted footstool.  I actually sold this at an expo I was at in April.

So, this was just a small sampling of the creative inspiration I took away from Christy and Junelle's awesome class!  If you get a chance, check it out!  Tell them Linda sent you;D
