We just got a new camera in the Casa de Kira, so I decided to take it outside and play around a bit while I worked on a few projects. So, enjoy. Short and sweet!
I'm really excited to be introducing you to my new stamp line! Check out these cling-mounted rubber stamps featuring my handwriting and artwork, created with art journalers in mind!

Nope, very little ... By: samanthakira. on 21 Oct 11, 20:52:52 Nope, very little humidity makes it comfortable to be? outside. I know it's miserable back in the Midwest...I'll try not to rub it in!
This is true. I ... By: samanthakira. on 21 Oct 11, 20:52:16 This is true. I consolidated things into baskets and bags last night (since I was unsure about leaving it all outside) and am always walking back inside to grab things. The nice thing is, my outdoor space is right outside my room/studio space -- there's a sliding door, which makes it easy to grab things and run inside if I want to use the sewing machine for something! I just got tired? of my windowless area inside!
Oh, I'm sure! I ... By: samanthakira. on 21 Oct 11, 20:51:04 Oh, I'm sure! I moved here from Chicago...I know it's weird to hear someone else has temps so? high when it's almost November!

Had to laugh when ... By: artglue2. on 21 Oct 11, 04:37:53 Had to laugh when you said it cooled off and it was 90! It's 52 in PA. Love your drippy painting...the colors are awesome! Can't wait to see what becomes of the canvas? on your easel!
I do love painting ... By: WillowBranchDesigns. on 21 Oct 11, 02:30:09 I do love painting outside, but dragging all of my things outside is such a pain.? I never know what I want to use until I get into the painting. Maybe I should try that planning thang. Loooooove the swirls & waves on the "sprinkled" canvas.
Thanks for sharing!

I have fibromyalgia ... By: paigan9. on 18 May 12, 17:59:19 I have fibromyalgia, too. I completely understand those feelings of guilt and uselessness. Don't beat yourself up over something you can't control. And I promise I'll try to do the same thing! Maybe we should both art journal about fibro. That would be interesting,? huh?
Gurl, Feel? The ... By: alisasteadyart. on 20 Sep 11, 22:54:13 Gurl, Feel? The Fear, but Do It Anyway! Anything we take seriously in our lives and feel passionate about inspires fear now and again. Beautiful journal, too!! xoxo

I have just been ... By: bleigh8793. on 10 Jul 11, 20:20:56 I have just been sitting here watching a few of your videos, and I'm now a subscriber! I am just starting my OWN homemade junk/art journal! While I'll still be filling some pages with my fancy-schmancy purchased papers, I'm really excited to start sketching and? painting other pages, which I haven't done since I was a kid!!! (well, a kid in high school, when I lost the confidence to.). I'm waiting feverishly for my UPS man to deliver my first jar of gesso & watercolor supplies! TFS! ~tina

Why is 2 a fail? ... By: ribbonwands. on 04 Jul 11, 21:03:05 Why is 2 a fail? For those two people...it's a win. I'd suggest not quantifying the? outcome. Put it out, see it through and treat those two people like royalty.
I know you didint:) ... By: Bancosmeticanimaltes. on 04 Jul 11, 17:52:40 I know you didint:)
I was just trying to show you that its not that we think your workshops are bad or anything, its? just we really want to see if its really worth all our art money
:)

I hope I didn't ... By: samanthakira. on 04 Jul 11, 07:45:57 I hope I didn't sound winey! I was trying to convey that I've realized that's what I have to do -- I was trying, in a sense,? to sound proactive and not sad! Gosh, sometimes I hate how I come off, and wish I could just come back in and be like, oh, I meant this instead of that or whatever.
I just want to say ... By: Bancosmeticanimaltes. on 04 Jul 11, 07:41:06 I just want to say that you shouldnt fret about the journal class. Personally i think so far it sounds awesome, but i would like more of a preview. It is 50 dollars, which is not much considering how much work you put into it, butit is about equal to what i have to spend on art materials for a month or two. I think others may be in this position to. So? give it some time& a preview, while we weigh up our options:))
I? do appreciate ... By: stgenis22. on 04 Jul 11, 07:12:10 I? do appreciate what you do, but don't take worshops in general because of money/time constraints. Don't think for a minute I don't wait for your posts/videos.
I said to Effy ... By: GulfSpr1te. on 04 Jul 11, 07:12:10 I said to Effy recently "it is ok to feel the fear, just don't let it take root!"
And I agree with Stephanie, you have to market market market like crazy so that folks who want to take your class get the message about it.
I recently saw someone mention that what really got them to choose an online course was an actual 3 or so minute clip of the real class instead of a promo of the whole thing. That they felt they got a sense of? how the class would be. IMHO your doing great just being you :)
beautiful! I can ... By: sgagos. on 04 Jul 11, 05:08:50 beautiful! I can relate to the fears, but you have so much to offer and I agree you just need to change your approach, and they will come. I heard about your course only once, it almost needs to be in our faces quite a bit over time before people bite. That's what they say about marketing, not those exact words. I am working on my first ecourse now and I also feel the fear..what if no one shows up, but I am learning how to relax and ease into it? and trust my gifts. I trust your gifts!
i have that thing ... By: itejeda1. on 04 Jul 11, 04:56:43 i have that thing also of never finishing a journal i always want finish and? always tell myself that i will this time but never do i think your right about the outfit
I'm glad you're ... By: artglue2. on 04 Jul 11, 04:19:27 I'm glad you're feeling? better! Thanks for sharing your journal love!
