Dip your hands in colors
while the young night flutters in on you and
finger paint me pictures of all you see.
No matter what they say, you'll always be
faithfully dangerous, lost and lovely,
so beautiful to me.
I'm not too blind to see.

Kick off your 2011 with color and make your mark! Here are some wonderfully crafty resources for inspiration!
Make yourself a visual journal to keep track of the special moments in your year. I took a class from Roz Stendahl, a fantastic artist in Minneapolis at the MN Book Arts center. Her visual journals are just stunning and offer so much inspiration on how to capture a moment that means something to you in a visual and creative way. She gives a little inside look at one of her stunning books in the video below:
Some other favorite visual journalists are Sabrina Ward Harrison and John Copeland. Wonderful mixed-media works and neither are afraid to get messy... both visually and emotionally.
