I am so excited to announce "His Kingdom Come" a brand new Faith Art Community!!! I am partnering up with Diane Marra from adorehimcreations.com and a wonderful team of Christian Artists ( Bernice Hopper, Mary Brack, Marjolaine Walker,Anita Homuth Van Hal, Justine Dandrea, Libbi Byrd Corson, and Noelle Oklowicz). These amazing women are joining our creative hearts to help launch this exciting new Faith Art community and we are hoping you will join us as well.
His Kingdom Come will be a safe place to share your faith, be inspired, and explore creativity across many art mediums- journaling, mixed media, painting, bible journaling, textiles, water color and more. His Kingdom come will offer free tutorials, technique classes, devotionals, crafts to celebrate the holidays, opportunities to go deeper in your faith and in your knowledge of God and the Bible. His Kingdom Come will offer Christian artists a platform to host classes (free or fee-based) with a great profit sharing plan. You can also advertise on His Kingdom Come.
We woul love to have you participate, become a member or volunteer for a moderator position.
Lots of people are talking about online projects for 2015 and we want to encourage you, invite you and get you excited about
Are you looking for a way to incorporate your devotional faith life with your everday life? To be encouraged, inspired and to try new ways to go deeper in your faith? Then you will love the free Take Me Deeper 2015 project. Each week we will post a devotion, a worship song and multiple art projects that connect to your daily life that will inspired you to live with the verse/devotion of that week and allow God to transform you. We will have multiple forums with multiple moderators taking that weekly devotion and giving you inspiration in journaling, scrapbooking, mixed media, textiles, water color, digital scrapbooking, crafts, doodling and bible journaling. Join His Kingdom come and get prepared to incorporate your faith creatively into your daily life!
Another free class His Kingdom Come will offer in January 2015 will be the Logos365 project. Logos365 is different from other online one word projects. Logos 365 is about exploring and living by and WITH the “word” God gives you for 2015. There will be free worksheets and devotions to assist you in going deeper with God and hearing the "logos" (word in Greek) he whispers into your heart. His Kingdom Come will support you and your logos for the entire year as we walk with Him in our logos.
I hope you are all doing well!! Life has been awesome, scary, crazy, joyful and busy for me!! My baby is going to be 9 tomorrow and my other baby just turned 21 at the end of August (what?). School is back in session for my son (the 9 year old) and it has been slow in getting back into the "routine." My boy definitely does not enjoy school as much as my girl did (and does; she is working on her BA degree).
The biggest thing going on for me lately is the "free" online workshop I am offering called Kingdom Come. It is a Faith Art Journaling class that I felt called to do and I have been privileged to have an amazing group of people join who are all in various stages of their walk with God and with their art. Many of you are in the class so you know how great you all are!!! I have learned so much from everyone and I love seeing what God is doing in this group!!
If you are not part of the Kingdom Come group, it is not too late to join. On November 1, 2014, I will no longer be offering the class for free (existing members of the group will have unlimited access to the videos for an unlimited amount of time). After November 1, I will still offer the class, but it will be a self-paced course for a small fee (I will keep you posted on that). I will also keep the Facebook group open for everyone (I love the fellowship). So, if you have any friends that you think may be interested in joining us; please let them know before November 1.
Here are some of the lessons from the Kingdom Come Workshop!!
I also have some ideas for other online "Faith" workshops. I hope to be working on those soon.
In the meantime, I am having a sale on my other two workshops!! The sale is until October 20, 2014 and I would love for you to join.
-This is a project AND technique based workshop and you will learn the following:
Learn how to make your own foam stamps.
Make your own pattern fabric.
Learn how to draw a whimsical face.
Learn how to draw a whimsical on fabric.
Learn how to shade a face using acrylic craft paint.
Using fabric and the patterned fabric we make, we will construct a skirt for our girl, embellish and then place her in an embroidery hoop.

I am so excited with how things are going on the site and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store next!!!
I am amazed at the amount of people who have joined my Free Online Spiritual Art Journal course, Kingdom Come. Right now there are about 280 and more and more are joining daily.
We just finished week one and people are posting their work in the Facebook group. I am in awe of the talent and the openness of these students. Everyone is at a different place in their spiritual walk with God and He is meeting us all where we are.
Here is a look at the first lesson. We looked at a verse in Galatians and then made a mixed media cross. It is not too late to join us!! I also have a few other online courses going on right now as well. So come over to the site and check it out.
Kingdom Come Lesson #1:

In the workshop you will learn how to make your own stamps out of simple and inexpensive materials. Once you have made your stamps, learn how to make your own patterned fabric that will be used in the piece as part of the dress. I will also be teaching how to draw and paint a whimsical girlie on fabric. -All this for only $20

I am super excited to announce a free online class that I am getting ready to launch in September!! It is called Kingdom Come. You may or may not know that I am a Christian. I have recently started really getting back into God's word and finally feel like I am learning what it means to have a "personal relationship" with Jesus.
I have been praying that God will show me how to serve others with my art and this is what I (with His help) have come up with.
This course is going to start Sunday, September 14 and consist of 5 weeks in an art journal (which I will show you how to make).
Week 1: "Jesus Saves"-Art journal page based on Jesus and who he is.
Week 2: "Step out of the Boat"-An art journal page on trusting God and his plan for you.
Week 3: "Anchor For My Soul"- Art based on assurance of our Faith.
Week 4: "I exalt Thee"- Art journal page on praise and worship.
Week 5: "Love God, Love People"- Art journal page on loving God and being a light in the world.
The course will be on my Ning site twistedfigures . So head on over to become a member. You will also have your own page on the site where you can upload a profile picture, photos etc. I would love for you to join the site; I just got it up and running, and it could use some love!!
I also have a Facebook Group for the course, that I would love for you to be part of.
I want to also say that this course and group is for anyone!! If you are a believer...Amen!!! If you aren't sure, but are searching for something...awesome!!! If you just want somewhere to go that is a loving, caring and supportive art environment....come and join us!! The motto for this class is simple... "Love God, Love People."
I hope to meet you and get to know you wherever you are on your spiritual journey.
I am so excited to finally get a class going on my NING site!!! They say once you get the first one up, the rest will be a breeze!! I hope so!!
This class was part of the wonderful online collaboration "Soul Food" that I was part of earlier this year and now I am able to offer it as a self paced workshop on its own!!
In this class, there are over 1 1/2 hours of pre-recorded videos. In these videos you will learn how to make a tissue image transfer, work with joint compound and much much more!! The best part?
