Summer and trees, so pleasant. What I really love is how the rub-ons show through the pastels. Thanks again for all the tips and inspiration!

Love this creation. I broke down and finally hit buy on a set of PP the other day, on sale, too! Can't wait to use your video as inspiration for my first play. Can I also tell you how much I love the term shit-ton??? You made my day!

The landscape is beautiful Donna. Good use of the rub-ons, at least that is one item I have not hoarded, just almost anything else. Thanks for the mini pan pastels class, I learned a lot from this inspiration wed. You are an excellent instructor.

Love this! Can't believe how you just put things together so very well. You make it look so easy! Plus it inspires one to give it a go. This is simply fabulous! :0)

This is definitely in my top 5 favorite Inspiration Wednesday pages, if not #1. I learned so much watching this today. Love the trees! Thank you for being so generous with your expertise. Question - would fixative spray be OK to use (as that is what I have), or should it be a top coat like you used? Thanks.

When you first started with the trees I was like, "what the hell Donna" but I should know to trust the expert (you)....they are fabulous! I absolutely love this page-could be one of my favorites.
I experienced the same thing with my hair and the metal brush - you cried? I threw up in the sink! Was not a good day :)
Back to art - I am so going to copy you and get out my pan pastels (not as well loved as yours) and give this a whirl.

I love your INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY videos. Thank you so much. Your journals all have an "inclusion" inserted in your handmade journals. QUESTION: why the inclusion?
Thanks for your time,
