E' uscito il mio libro sul riciclo creativo di stoffe in italiano!!! Disponibile su Etsy, con spiegazioni complete passo passo e video per creare insieme a me il sottobicchiere ed un vaso tessile o cestino, dall' inizio alla fine:
Dopo un anno ancora mi diverte molto, ecco la mia ultima super piccola creazione:
Please send me an e-mail here giogiocraft@gmail.com, and I'll send you straight away the credentials to access the private blog.
And here's my last AJ page, made with alternative materials. I wasn't happy about it, but since seeking perfection is not allowed on ArtJournaling, I decided that it was alright!
E questa è la mia paginetta più recente. Più andavo avanti e meno mi piaceva, ma siccome sull'ArtJournal non è certo richiesta la perfezione ho deciso di lasciarla com'era e pubblicarla.
Here we are! I made it, I translated my first on-line course about ArtJournaling in English! And I assure you, it will be fun, at least because of my hilarious accent and madeup words :-)
This course is made for people who:
-want to start ArtJournaling with a small budget (no need to buy expensive art supplies to wet your feet and see if you like it)
-advanced Artjournaler...a new way to look at stuff that is around you and never thought it would become a new craft tool
-who lost the feeling to create and needs a gentle push and inspiration to start again.
The course goes live Monday, 4th May.
There's a chance for two of you to win a place to attend the course, by just leaving a comment on this post; sharing this post in the social network will increase your chances of winning and I would appreciates it :-).
Per tutte le crafter Italiane, c'è sempre la possibilità di iniziare il corso in Italiano quando si vuole, qui tutte le istruzioni.
Antislip mats, cereal boxes, talcum powder, old credit cards, old doilies, markers...and other stuff
from everyday life: these are the things we are using to create our ArtJournal!
We're going to create vibrant, colourful, funny pages that reminds us all of our personality, our mood, our Art.
This course will introduce you on the journey into Artjournaling and MixedMedia, with few cheap materials needed, all you
need to do is look around your home or your local stores.
Stencils and stamps are handmade, gesso and embossing paste are made with less than a euro, upcycled support, to take the first steps
you need to create, or to find again the inspiration that you may have lost over the years.
There are lots of videos to watch with detailed explanations and pages showing step by step instructions from start to finish,
where we can gain inspiration, learn about the colour wheel theory, texture and upcycling.
Along with the videos you can download and save on your PC the E-books (PDF format) relating to the videos.
The on-line course will be available from one year since the purchasing date, and you can watch the videos at your convenience and
as often as you like.
The course will be held on a private blog, where you can be always in touch with me and the other participants, through comments or email. There will be a FB closed group where you can share your artwork, doubts and questions.
The course costs 25 € .

Alcune pagine create dalle ragazze del corso: Some pages from the girls: By Daniela ( she created a wonderful hand made stamp and she used it on this page) Daniela ( ha creato un bellissimo timbro fatto in casa e l'ha usato su questa pagina)
By Marcella ( at first she didn't like the page, so she corrected it and this is the result) Marcella ( all'inizio la pagina non le piaceva, e così l'ha corretta e questo è il risultato)
By Robin ( she loves birds and she made two pages about it) Robin, grande appassionata di uccelli, ci ha proposto due pagine sul tema:
