It’s hosted by Leaca Young Art.
Read MoreFragments... we are all just fragments in bloom don't you think? 🌸 Fragments of our faith, our experiences, our heart, our mistakes, our good deeds... all of it. Most of us are just trying to keep all the good pieces together and shine our light in the world to make it a better place.

Read MoreWhat’s the Painted Paper Project?
It’s all about creating heartfelt bits of art to send to friends, family, or even new pen pals. It’s about sending colorful hugs and thoughtful notes in the mail. It’s about having fun and anticipating your friend getting some happy mail instead of bills or junk mail. It’s about sending some love and art into the world. I’m in! Are you?

Read MoreIt's time for another Junque Art Studio Play™ video! (Formerly Fast Forward Art Play™) It's really all about playing, having fun, and discovering new things. I try to make time several times a week to play and explore in my art journal. To get in the "play" state of mind I find it helps when I limit my time to 30 minutes or less. When my time is limited I tend to not over think things and just let things happen. (Most of the time anyway.)
