Are you looking for new ways to use up your creative stash" Here’s a truth that nobody can deny… as artists and crafters we accumulate a lot of STUFF. Paper, paints, pastels, pencils…. Stickers, sewing supplies, stamps, stencils… Watercolors, washi, white out pens, wax crayons… And that’s just to name a few!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I would bet money that even though you have all of these things (and more) sitting in your creative space, you’re always drawn to the same tools, the same supplies, the same colors.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My school of online art workshops push you to take another look at the supplies you already have and use them in unexpected ways. By layering and combining media in different ways, you can create some truly unique pieces of art.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you like the sound of that, I encourage you to hit the link in my bio and head over to see my workshops to find out more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know Instagram is the perfect social media platform to tell your story in more detail and gain the trust of your followers. Here is a tip for making the most of it:
-
Share Photos of YOU!!! Most people’s top posts are photos of them, not their work. Let that sink in.
-
The truth is, in order for people to truly connect with the work you’re creating, they first have to know, like, trust, and understand its creator.
-
The more you let people into your life, the more they feel like you are a real human, not just a obscure business. When you can become a recognizable face, you’ll start to feel more like a friend and less like a salesperson. Step out of your comfort zone and in front of that lens!
-
This is also a peek at my new website, which is just about ready. I have plans for a giveaway, so hope you will help me celebrate!
-
Kudos to @23and9creative for her hard work and brilliant eye for design! ❤️

Here is a tip for making the most out of Instagram as an artist/maker:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Show Behind the Scenes! The life of an artist is fascinating. Believe me, people are interested in your process. Offering a glimpse behind the scenes creates a bond and a level of loyalty, while also giving you an opportunity to tell a meaningful story in your feed and your posts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you share a tour of your studio or a work-in-progress, you’ll be able to make more of connection and let people feel like they are part of your world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A Journey Home abstract collage
-
Ever ask yourself why you should share your art online because there are so many people out there doing the same thing?
-
We all interpret ideas and inspiration in a different way. Each of us favors different supplies, different colors, different techniques… the marks you make are unique to you, so don’t worry about blending into the background.
-
The more you share online, the more people will come to love your style. Be bold and stand out - show who you are and stay true to yourself.
