NEW Artist Resource Directory


NEW PAGE LAUNCH! Are you an artist looking for a resource directory? Well, you have come to the right place. Today, I am launching a new page here on Inspired Me 411. It is an artist resource page filled of websites I have collected over the years. The page consist of 11 lists. 

CLICK HERE

Here are the categories: 

  • Art School 
  • Art Supplies
  • Artist Open Calls and Opportunities
  • Artist Courses
  • Artist Events
  • Marketing and Business
  • Online Art Retail
  • Organizations
  • Other Resources
  • Southern California Museums and Galleries

 Here are five of some of my favorite sites from the lists. 

  1. Stacy Bloomfield - She offers various paid and free art licensing, marketing and general art business courses. I took one of her free courses and it was excellent. She also helps you discover multiple streams of income as an artist.
  2. Artwork Archive - They offer multiple business services and resources for artists for a monthly fee. Also, they offer free online seminars that I have attended. Their services include inventory cataloging, online invoicing, income tracking and more.
  3. Las Laguna Gallery - I haven't submitted my work yet, but I do like that they have multiple open calls each year. Anyone who submits to one of their shows gets in the online event. Selected artist will be invited to their in-person show.
  4. Krista Irene Art- I recently discovered her YouTube channel and love her carefree style. She teaches how to loosen up in drawing and sketching using pens and markers. Her relaxed approach has inspired me.
  5. CaFE - This site has free national and international art open calls. Also, there are lots of interesting blog post in "CaFE Corner."

I will be adding more resources to this page and new blog posts. So make sure you SUBSCRIBE for all the updates.

Also, I do have another page called "Art & Art Journaling" which features artists and more resources that might be helpful to you. Click Here

Whether you are new or an experienced artists, I hope you will find this directory helpful for you and your business.

My First Diary and 3 Journaling Styles

Welcome! Today's post is about my experience with journaling and three of my favorite styles.  This post was written May 21, 2020. Journaling has been a part of my life since my pre-teen years. Like most girls, I kept a diary and hid it in a secret place. I think I got my first one as a gift and wrote about daily and special events. I remember there was this cute boy I met. I was too shy to tell anyone I liked him so I wrote about it in my diary. It was a safe place to share these new and wonderful feelings. I gotta find that journal and check it out. (Off to go find it!) Look, I found my precious little diary! Although it smells dusty and the paper has yellowed, my young words and thoughts are so sweet! Here is what I wrote May 21st. I was on a school trip to a camp called Rawhide when I was in the 6th grade, I think. "Today at Rawride and my horses name was Chinadoll. Elizabeth was so mean to sha-jauna and them. And she was flirting." LOL! This is so fu...

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

6 Julie Nutting Doll Stamps & Christmas Outfits

Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. Today's blog post is all about Julie Nutting Doll Stamps. I have six of them and decided to dress them up for Christmas. In this post, you will learn quick and easy ways to create their outfits, skin color and hair. So cute! These would make pretty slimline greeting cards or use them in a mini album. Take a look. (Click on the picture for a larger view.) Visit my YouTube channel for similar tutorials. Link below. Nora (left) was the easiest. I just used makers for her hair and shoes. Then, patterned paper for her coat. Jayla is all dressed with pearl earrings, patterned paper coat and brown markers for her skin and hair. Also, I used a red glitter gel pen for shoes. Phoebe was created with a brown marker for skin and a black marker for hair. Then, pearls for the necklace. The dress was red cardstock and candy patterned papers. Jessi is all dolled up with a patterned paper coat with green gems as buttons. Then, I used a pink...
