I'm going to keep going and hopefully I'll soon be jotting down ideas and sketches without blinking :oD It was lovely to meet you too yesterday. Wouldn't it be lovely if I could make magical pumpkins. Alas, mine was only papier mache :o) LxLauren Hatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774296308613840184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801256989947562319.post-28967301905977844062015-09-20T17:59:37.778+01:002015-09-20T17:59:37.778+01:00Lauren, this is just lovely!

I am a great believer in the idea that we can all draw and that we just have to let go and not be overly critical - then it's fun. Confidence really comes with practice. It was so nice to meet you at Ally Pally and put a face to the Mechanical Mouse Organ. I meant to say to you how much I loved Bagpuss and those little mice that could make just about anything! Your pumpkin was great too. Do you make ones that turn into magical coaches, or do you leave that to your beautiful fairy? xxJulie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113706312817154503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801256989947562319.post-9415503840745732702015-09-20T08:33:52.009+01:002015-09-20T08:33:52.009+01:00Great to see you too.

I believe (yes, that word) that art journalling should be exactly what you want it to be - so if you enjoy "footling with colour and placement" then why shouldn't you?! Every journal should be as unique as the person working in it. Having said that, I think it's also a place for experimenting and playing (not for perfection!!) - so huge congrats for stepping so beautifully outside your comfort zone. <br />Alison xxWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801256989947562319.post-54758740756827892015-09-16T09:54:08.088+01:002015-09-16T09:54:08.088+01:00Thanks Louise.
