Intro

Hi, I’m Annette, from South Texas. I am new to online classes (never been involved in an online chat!), new to art journals, although I have been an admirer for some time now. Thought I would just jump in with both feet and get my creative juices flowing. I love art supplies and am excited about this new way of communicating; new to me, that is. So anyway, I work in a law firm IRL, advanced amateur photographer IRRL :), and now beginner art journaler. The challenge is intriguing, to see if I can artfully compose life on a page …. can’t draw anything more than a stick figure … so this will be an interesting excursion. From what I can tell, you don’t have to be able to draw, just create. So here is a sample pic of my beginning journal tools, (the room for my computer is dark for photo editing purposes)—my scanner is a big part of everything I do (would be a little lost without it), the rubber alphas are in almost every layout and the pens, well that goes without saying…I LOVE PENS!
