Hi,
Now this is a whopper............A4 size (twice) of Part 1 of Art, Heart and Self Healing which is a free journal course, which is totally amazing and am loving every minute of it. Although I must admit to be totally freaked when I saw those huge blank pages and on second thoughts I should have used something a lot smaller. Now I know its not perfect but neither am I. Why Green hair you say, well when I was a lot younger I dyed my hair for the first time and yes it went Green.......lol The theory of Part 1 is that you get rid of all your negative thoughts and think positive (left side of the page). After seeing this picture it looks quite dark against the black background of my blog, maybe better if you enlarge it.........only don't look too hard......lol
If you are considering starting a journal I cannot recommend this course enough (see side bar for info) I had started a private art journal but this course has already taught me so much that I can incorporate the techniques I've learn't into that, so am one very happy lady.
Thank you for popping in and for your terrific support which I value greatly and thank you to all you terrific bloggers who continue to inspire me.
Am going to enter this in Simon Says Stamp & Show Whatever Makes you Happy, because this really has made me very happy.
Better get dressed as still in PJs and am due out in 30mins.......oops. Take care, Annette x

Hi Netty, this looks gorgeous, such lovely colours and I think I want to have a go at an art journal so I'll go and have a look at your sidebar for the link as I'm not sure where to start lol

Ooooooooooooh, Netty, this is totally gorgeous, well done!! Green hair sounds good, I sometimes die my hair green for carneval here....
This is wonderful, so creative. Will have a look at this course, thanks for sharing. Hugs ANesha

Wow, this is tremendous, Annette! Amazing piece of work - love the self-expression! Have never heard of art journaling but it sounds wonderful - will have to check out your link. So happy you could join in the fun this week with Simon Says Stamp and Show!
Oh Annette this is beautiful, I love the green hair. They dye it green on purpose these days.xxx
This is lovely. The colors and the swirls are very calming. I have not tried art journaling...yet :)
Your art work is so expressive Nettie and you are such an inspiration.

Thank you for all your smashing comments. I forgot to say that all those swirls represent the chaotic ideas that go around in my head..........if that makes sense....ooh so deep and meaningful......nice colours though..lol

What a wonderful creation. BTW-when I was young my hair would always turn green from swimming to much.. Hope you have a happy day.
Hugs, Linda
Netty, I love the start to your journal. The green hair story is so funny. I think you are the second person who I know has started this class. It is not often you get something so good for free.
I am looking forward to seeing the rest.... your drawing is amazing, by the way.
Have a great week

Fabulous, Annette!

Hi Annette, love your painting, the colours are dreamy and her face is serene, it's beautiful. So glad you're enjoying your course, it shows in your work, have fun:0) xx
Your work is truly inspiring, looks like you've been quite busy these last few days, have been missing you, but looks like you've been in the studio :-)
Love your journal and the story behind your pages - sounds like a creative class!
Netty your journal page is wonderful. I love her eyes. What's wrong with green hair? It is gorgeous on her.
Hugs, chris

An extra-large art journal is fabulous for you because your art is too amazing and wonderful for a tiny book!
Your green-haired beauty is lovely and the story is so fun!

Nettie, I think you are doing great. It's beautiful. I remember once when I frosted my hair myself and my daughter went around saying: Mama's got green hair.
Beautiful page, Netty, love it! Turned out VERY well! Always great to try something new!
This is really wonderful Nettie!!
Hugs Kristel

What a wonderful project..if only I had the time! Sorry for confusing you...problems trying to schedule my post..as you can tell it didn't work!! Time goes quick enough without losing a day...Happy Wednesday..Esther xx
Beautiful journal page Netty, love the green hair i think its pretty and love your art. I also have had a disaster with hair colour ... put it this way .. if we had stood together at the same time, all we would have needed was a red head and we could have been a set of traffic lights lol.
hugs June xxxx
Netty,
This is a beautiful piece :)
this is fantastic, my little girl said who is that mermaid mummy? hehe green hair you punk rocker bet you nearly dropped when you spotted it in the mirror x
This is really pretty and a neat idea!
Thanks so much for entering the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge!!!

Wow Annette this is stunning the colours are beautiful well done my friend
Kevin xx
So gorgeous, Annette! Really stunning!
Love your journal spread. I often work in an A4 Moleskine and I found it scary at first too!
Glad to see you're enjoying this class Netty....a lot of people are taking it, I know its very popular. You're so brave to start with a big page!

I love this!! And I'm going to check into the journal course .. sounds wonderful!
Thank you for joining us at the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge.
Ooh this is gorgeous, love what you did. I must go check out this class if you think it is good.
I think I should sign up for painting courses or something...although they definitely won't give me your talent. So probably a waste of time. I'll just plod along with my Copics and pencils and inks and leave the art to you, so I can come here and admire and be humbled again.
Hugs
Annika
I've started this course as well and it's fab. I love the green hair as well. Looking forward to seeing more.
