updates from the studio and a GIVEAWAY!

It's been a while since I've posted an update about the goings on over here so today I've put together a few things that need to be shared! 

First I am honored to be featured (and on the cover) in the fall 2014 Cloth Paper Scissors Studios magazine! I talk all about juggling my business, art and family. These types of opportunities are always really fun and super humbling- I still pinch myself thinking is this real?!? Included in this issue are some amazing artists like Leslie Riley, Damon Robinson, Jennifer Paganello, Pauline Lim and more!  For info on this issue or to purchase your own copy head on over HERE.

I am finishing up my latest online class- Redefine Creativity. I have been filming and creating classes back to back for the last 9 months and I will be taking a little break to plan and create more classes for the beginning of the new year (I've got some fun stuff up my sleeve). But for now I need a little break this fall to actually get into the studio to do what I love most- making art and craft.

This means I will have more time to create more fun goodies for the shop (I've got some cool stuff coming soon!) so stay tuned- in the next couple of weeks I will be announcing when new batches of pouches (accessories and more) will hit the shop.




And last, I am SUPER excited to announce that I will be teaching for Life Book 2015! Life Book 2015 is a year- long online course featuring 26 different teachers with 26 different perspectives on the creative process. Life Book is packed with lessons, inspiration and a vibrant community of artists from all over the world.


Registration opens on October 6th and the course begins on January 1st, 2015 and today I am giving away one FREE SPOT!  
To enter, leave me a comment below tell me one thing (anything) creative that you are interested in learning or want to try!
I will randomly select a winner and announce on the blog on Saturday.
All the Life Book teachers are giving away spots on their blogs (see the schedule below), so head on over to check them all out!

Life Coach Angela said...

Honestly the thing I would love to learn is drawing/painting accurate (or at least fairly neat looking!) representations of things for my art. I stick to abstract because I have such a lack of confidence in that area. Crossing just about every appendage that I might scoop a place on LB 2015!

Taking care of my 3 little kiddos for the past 5 years has taken up most of my time, I would love to get back into the creative side of me! Learning how to paint in layers is what I'm most intrigued by! I would like to take what I learn from lifebook 2015 and use it on re-purposing or renewing an old piece of furniture.

Seize the Carp said...

I want to be more fluid in my choices for what I do next instead of stalling and second guessing my decisions. I don't want to stiffen my creativity by engaging in that inner critique monologue.

Lisa said...

Not sure if my comment went through-

Block printing on fabric.

Unknown said...

Oh there is so much i'd love to learn from you. I love your wall murals. Most of all I'd love to come to one of your workshops. Hoping you offer more 3 day workshops next year. It's too far to travel for less than 3 days.

Bree said...

I would love to learn more about combining all of the mediums I use into one piece that looks less pre-k and more adult.

Unknown said...

I have experimented with so many different ways of expressing my creativity but one thing I have actually never done but have always wanted to try is to make sculptures, expecially out of found/disgarded items (trash, basically), chicken wire etc. I always thought it would be an interesting challenge to create a story that way and make something beautiful out of something ugly or unflattering. It seems a little daunting though. Maybe some day :)

Rachelle Eason said...

Hi, Alisa! I would love to learn how to go bigger, brighter, and bolder!

LKH said...

This looks amazing and more than anything I want to create a canvas I can proudly hang on the wall! Thanks.

I'd love to be in Lifebook 2015 too. LB 2014 is great - and when I see all these wonderful colors and bold lines on your website, Id love to join. Congrats on the article too!

TamJN said...

Great you are teaching in life book 2015. I found art journalling after my husband died last year just before my 40th birthday. I love it, journalling has given my life purpose again. So difficult to choose only one thing I would like to learn - there are so many! I would like to learn to incorporate more texture/layers into my art, sometimes it feels a little too flat for my liking.

Lady Gina said...

I could more easily name 1001 things I want to learn than one. I want to know everything!

Moois van mie said...

funkycrafter said...

Congratulations! was in B&N earlier today and saw the CPS issue with your pic on the cover. just had to grab it.
i would like to learn more about layering using different media, e.g., which media will cover other media, when to use opaque vs translucent and doing free-form layering without using stencils.

dani (pyglet) xox said...

At the moment I am totally obsessed learning about process. It is the most intriguing thing to see the process that an artist takes to get to their end result. Can't wait for LB2015!!

Cristiana said...

I would like to learn more about hand writing and lettering. Thanks for this opportunity and fingers crossed!

Hi Alisa, I really want to learn how to embed artful lettering into water colour paintings and make it look inspiring to others :) Love the blog hop and LB 2015!! cheers from Berlin* Konstanze

Deb said...

Congrats on the Magazine cover Alisa. :) The one big thing that I need to try is to just let my artwork be what it is, instead of being so critical and gessoing over it too soon. I know it isn't a technique as such, but it is something that I really need to work on. I would love to win a spot on Life Book 2015, so thanks for giving us this opportunity. :)

Unknown said...

I would love to try encaustic art - definitely an "art goal" of mine! I'd also love to go wild on a larger scale (if only space and money weren't an issue).

Colorful Heart said...

I have gotten good at capturing in photographs what my eye sees...I'm feeling pulled to play with video, but am a bit terrified of it and haven't yet figured out where to start...

pinkglitterfae said...

it's tough to pick one thing I'd like to learn more of, but maybe how to paint bolder, more fearlessly. I like to be too controlling in my art, and it would be fun to just let go.
Thanks for a chance to win!

Karen Ramey said...

I would love to learn to draw, I am more of a doodler, I believe by participating in LB2015 I will learn so much. Thank you for participating in this journey.

Christina said...

I LOVE mixed media, but I'd like to learn different techniques. I know the basics, ie: paper, paints, gesso, etc. and explore the human figure/ faces mostly, I'm at a loss when it comes to that. Flowers no problem, but faces is an obstacle for me. I'm really hoping that I have the opportunity to be apart of the Life Book 2015, to face new challenges and unleash my creativity.

Beyond to Better Things said...

I would love to learn to come out of the box more with color!

Anonymous said...

Wow, Life Book 2015 looks like lots of fun! I would love to learn how to express more meaning in my art journal pages...

Jenifer said...

My biggest goal is to learn to call myself an artist. I know it might be easy for a lot of people, but for me, it always comes down to not knowing enough, not doing enough and I dont know how to call myself an artist without feelling like I did something only big, important, master type people do. I would looooove to learn to claim that title and make it my own like a second skin!

Peggy Wilkinson said...

I just want to learn new ideas for art journaling and use of different products and techniques that I can't even imagine right now!

CandaceMakesStuff said...

I love bookbinding, journaling and print making and, really, just love the inspiration. This is an awesome giveaway. Right now, a friend and I are deciding which one of your classes we want to take together. Most of all I would love to come out to a class in your studio- that's actually a bucket list item for me. I have visited your part of the world and was totally enchanted! We drove the coast. from Pacific City Bch to Seaside, so I do love hearing your adventure stories :-)

mbi said...

I'd love to learn to add creative time into my everyday, like you do so well! Painting, watercolours, making things for my home with sayings to inspire... I am a total beginner, but really want to start!

Teresa aka Tess said...

There are two things I would love to learn. 1) How to use gold leafing in my art. And 2) How to make my own stretch canvas's using recycled denim material. I am loving life Book 2014 and would love a chance to win a spot in Life Book 2015. Then I could buy more art supplies

ginigin said...

I would love more than anything to break through the block that keeps me from having a daily or at least weekly art practice. Once i start, I'm OK, i just have trouble getting started. Too many ideas on my head at one time, not knowing where to start. If i had to pick a technique it would be watercolors though. Thanks for sharing your art and a chance in the class.

Quiltmomof6 said...

I would like to know more about watercolors. I have taken one of your classes that you touched on watercolor. I need to take the watercolor one. I would also like to know what type of watercolor paints are going to give me good use of the medium and what brand of brushes to buy. Thanks for the chance on getting a slot in Lifebook 2015.

Gabrielle said...

This is awesome. Congrats and thank you!!!! I would love to be able to draw faces, realistic or stylized. I've always wanted to be able to just create a character from my imagination.

Jane Lazenby ~ Artist said...

I would love to learn to make my paint colors more vibrant as you use some vivid and beautiful colors. I love, love, love pen and ink, the black and white that you draw and love how you bring a bit of color into the black and white. I am taking lifebook 2014 this year and excited about signing up for next year. If I were to win a spot , I will give it to a friend that I have met at a local restaurant, that has such talent, but no able to pay to take classes. I have seen her sketches when I go in there and it would be so wonderful
for her to be able to take this year long class and grow her talents. thanks for the opportunity to win and I am super excited to take your lesson next year!!

Colleayn said...

Congratulations! On an art level I would love to learn more about how to paint acrylic paints on fabric. On another note, I would love how to get into my studio instead of getting sidetracked with emails, phone calls, life demands, work... I spend more time wishing I have time to paint vs. actually painting.

Carol McCready said...

how to use different acrylic mediums- gels, pastes

Unknown said...

Happy to see you on the teaching list for 2015. Trying to pick one thing I'd like to learn is hard. There is so much, I guess the biggest thing is to learn not to be so critical of my work. I have only been on this Art journey for 2 yrs, prior to that I couldn't draw a stick figure. I really need to let go, relax, stop over thinking every line and learn to love the mistakes as well as the stuff that turns out the way I planned. I have learned tons of great techniques through Life Book from amazing and wonderful Artists winning a spot for next year would be awesome. Thanks for the opportunity.

j dexter said...

WOW there is no way I will be able to win a seat in the class - so many people already know what a great thing Life Book is. What I would love to see are useful things for my home like a remote holder that hangs from my chair holding phone, remote, pencil and note paper. Also a similar hanger for my bed to hold remote and tissue (Hallmark channel late at night!).
