Howdy and HAPPY NEW YEAR...from Joi at the ranch!!
It has become a tradition for me to begin my year with:
The theme is "Mix, Match, Master".
This is my 3rd year and I enjoy it because it forces me WAY out of my comfort zone. I hope to post several projects over this month. It will mostly just be pics of the project since I can't share much about the lessons themselves.
This first lesson was from Marsha Valk.
Let me assure you - mine looks nothing like hers. Hers was wonderful, of course! Nevertheless here's my play along.
Phase one, two and three!
And after more phases - finally....nearly done!
Close-Ups
Products!
DecoArt Media Paint Products
Dare2BArtzy Totally Tracy Textures Stamps
Faber-Castell Pitt Pen
Dynasty Liner Brush
FINISHED!
I added the words: Just Begin.
That's what I tell myself when I have no clue how to start!
Thank you Marsha for challenging me!
Until tomorrow! j.

I love to see some of the "beginning". It appears to evolve into a landscape of sorts. I love it.
I love the texture and patterns- gorgeous!!! Happy New Year Joi and thank you for being part of CJS again <3
Wow!!! A lovely, bright & joyous way to start the new year.... love that quote. Nice to see your Jump Start creations:):)
I think the idea of 'just begin' is excellent - and love the result. CJS is a great way to start the year huh :-)
This is way cool Joi! You work wonders on your canvases with paint and stamps! I have to get into my paints this year, it's been too long! Big hugs, Autumn
Love the landscape look of this ...The words are perfect! I wonder what our words will be after 30 days!
Cheers from Annne in BC
Very cool abstract, Joi! Have you been visiting my Closet??? Wait 'til you see what I post on the 18th! You will think I've been CAS ing you! (which I haven't-just a happy coincidence!) Happy New Year to you; I'm off to see your other work I've missed. Sending hugs!
Hey Joi - sorry it's been so long, and I'm happy to see you're kicking off 2017 with some fabulous creativity... what a great piece. Off to catch up with some more, but I hope the new year brings you health, happiness and wonderful creative adventures.
