Intuitive art Intuitive art is a funny thing. I love the adventure and surprise. You never know exactly where you’re going. Magdalena is a perfect example of this.

Art Adventures #6
Art Journaling in Wanderlust I’ve done limited art journaling this past couple weeks. For week 9 of Wanderlust I completed two lessons, actually, though one of them wasn’t art journaling.
