I decided that it would be useful to give my list of Free online art classes (originally posted in 2013) a complete overhaul for our use in 2021. I'll continue to update it if you let me know of resources I've missed and you can always get here by clicking on the top right link below my profile. I'll also share any new inspirations via new blog posts. See the latest free offerings by clicking HERE.

  8. All of your journals are so creative. Although I can quilt, sew, make beaded jewelry, etc., I can't 'collage' anything. Last week I purchased a few inexpensive steampunk items and wanted to try to make 2 necklaces....but alas, I couldn't even think of what to do with them. It would be cool to pile some of the keys and clocks on it, but cant think creatively..... I should watch some of your classes and see it I can somehow find the 'creative' side of my brain!!
