Art Adventures: Art Journaling & Mixed Media
Where Paint Meets Purpose

Artful Mojo Rising
Creative mojo is a fickle thing. It comes and goes. You never know when it’s going to visit and when it goes it can be gone in a flash. Very rude of mojo to behave that way. At the very least it could give you some warning it’s leaving town, so you don’t get all dressed up and have nowhere to go.
