This is an all Tim Holtz journal project. I wouldn’t call it a “junk journal” exactly, since nothing is re-purposed or found, but it’s in that maximalist, spontaneous style. I get so inspired by watching his live YouTubes that I buy all the things, so I’m challenging myself to Tim Holtz Tuesdays this fall toContinue reading “Tim Holtz Tuesdays journal page 3”

Autumn Watercolor Cards
I started out with not much planning, just wanted to practice some loose watercoloring. Since I used the colors of Cosmos found in nature all on the same panel, I ended up with a purple and orange color combination and just leaned into it – but it makes me think of fall, so I thinkContinue reading “Autumn Watercolor Cards”

Tim Holtz Village dwelling
