East Bay Creations by Hope

My beginning blog, documenting my journey into my crazy aprons and mixed media expression: painting, creative writing, collective art, learning leather work, gardening on a budget, living in Oakland, crafts, food and cooking, and learning the ins and outs of a small business start up, pages of my day to day adventures, my love of heavy music and drumming, and the Zombie Apocalypse. Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.

Interested in trying out Art Journaling?

Interested in trying out Art Journaling? For me, it's pure therapy. It helps me add more expression behind my words, like music behind lyrics. Whether it be color, fabric, paper art, paint texture, or another medium to put behind my writing, I really love to watch it form. Sometimes it's just as much as actually creating the journal and making the entries the guts of the book. Kristal Norton is offering a great intro class FOR FREE. Check it out here:

Art Journaling 101

I'll dig out some of my old books and post some pics. Right now I'm just throwing some entries into my favorite stand by, the old composition book from the dollar store, for the Brave Girls Club one minute, one paragraph series.

Happy Creating!

P.S. I had to add a picture I came across of Peter Steele's missing infamous journal/ song book.
