  1. My absolute favourite medium is fabric!I find it fascinating that a flat piece of fabric can turn into a three-dimensional object for practical use or decoration.
    It never ceases to amaze me that the possibilities are limited only by the creator's imagination.

    Thanks for the great giveaway!!!

  6. Hi Alisa, my favourite process is to take a black pen or pencil and just doodle whilst calming my mind and letting my intuition come through. I get wonderful ideas for artwork this way and it has the added benefit of relaxing both the body and the mind!

    Hi Alisa! Congratulations on the 10 years -- I'm jealous. I'm trying to work toward doing the same thing. My current favorite creative medium is my Silhouette CAMEO digital cutting system. I love how I can create greeting cards, stickers, designs for heat transfer onto clothing, designs to cut out of vinyl, and even glass etching and rhinestone designs. It's a nice addition to a crafter's toolbox.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Thanks for allowing us to celebrate with you! I've been following your blog for several years and you provide an abundance of inspiration! You have taught me so much about getting outside and looking at nature and finding inspiration in my own daily life.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  76. I just love flower doodling and watercolor ~ I tried it after watching a tutorial of yours and fell in love with it; I normally feel I draw too tight/restricted and watching you draw helped me loosen up - so thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I’ve loved getting your blog posts for the last 10 years! I was in your class at CREATE in LA before you headed north with the baby and hubby to start this adventure. I was at your first retreat in Seaside too. Glad you’ve been so successful! I love watercolors and acrylic paint. I love putting them in handmade books. Tx!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I love fabric, and paint/watercolor too !

    ReplyDelete
  79. My absolute favorite thing to use in my art is lace. I like it for texture, for adding complexity to the art, for the history behind the lace (I wonder who wore it or what it was used for) and I love the way it looks all together with paint and ink and paper.

At the moment I'm enjoying working with wire, polymer clay, metal paints, and leather. I would love to do more with watercolors and acrylic paints. Thank you for sponsoring such a generous giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  96. Collage is my happy place. I love tearing up vintage and found papers then piecing them back together into something new and beautiful. It has been a cathartic experience that has helped me put the pieces of my own life back together when things are a mess.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Definitely the classic black pen on paper... easiest way to get creative anywhere and always! Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on your 10 years :)

  111. I tend to dabble in lots of different mediums, so my favorite changes according to what I'm in the mood to work on that day. Right now, I'm craving my lino tools and a fresh sheet of pink carving runner, so I guess printmaking is my favorite today!

  115. JoAnn Stevens8:56 AM

    One of my favorite things is to use a stencil with white paint or gesso and then paint, draw or journal on top. I love how unpredictable the results are. It's strange how different it can look each time. EEEeeeee! Happy 10 years Alisa! Thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiring all of us. xo

    ReplyDelete
  116. Happy 10 years!!!!!

    My favorite process is making jewelry, but I love incorporating different mediums into it (paper, clay, resin, fabric, etc.). I love to use different materials to make the jewelry, from wire to metal to shrink plastic to found objects. I can get lost in the process for hours.

    ReplyDelete

    My favorite medium at this time (ha!ha!) would be vintage paper.

It is always a pleasure to read your blog, because of the beautiful bright colors you use and your wonderful photographs! Thank you for sharing!!!

    Congratulations on 10 years! I have a lot of favorites, but my go-to is watercolor with ink. Specifically non-waterproof ink. I love the unexpectedness of ink bleeds and it's fun to try to make it work to my advantage. I've also recently rediscovered block printing, so that's high on the list, too :)

    ReplyDelete

  142. Rebecca kvenvolden11:03 AM

    It’s so hard to choose just one, but I’d say watercolor.

    ReplyDelete

  143. While I love all sorts of creative adventures, my very favorite is to paint with watercolors. This is because I am so very relaxed when I paint with watercolors, and many times I take them on hikes, and do much plain air painting. And I love the amazing effects that I can get with these paints.

    ReplyDelete
  144. I think my favourite right now is a combination of Pigma pens and Neocolor II Water-soluble crayons.

    ReplyDelete








  145. Congrats on 10 years! I loved attending your ignagural Seaside Retreat!
    I love fluid acrylics.

    ReplyDelete
  146. What a lovely giveaway! My new favorite creative process is art journaling. I’ve just started 2 this summer and really love the possibilities! I especially like to combine acrylic paint, gel pens, and collage. I’m starting to add in creative lettering techniques I learned n your online courses.

    ReplyDelete
  147. My favorite creative medium is watercolor. I love working with watercolors because it takes a certain skill to find the right balance between the color and the amount of water you need for shading purposes. I always love how watercolors come out at the end because during the process you dont get to see what the final product will look like until after everything has dried. Creating with watercolors is cathartic for me.

  149. Congratulations on 10 years! My favorite medium is collage. I just took one of your classes and would love to use your gift to take more if I win. Not to mention a painted bag, stamps, a bowl..... :)

    ReplyDelete
  150. Watercolors are my favorite medium. It's fun to make my own painted papers, and use them for collages.

    ReplyDelete
  151. It's tough for a mixed media artist to choose one favorite medium! I suppose my favorite is collage because it's so versatile and it adds a unique element to each piece that can't be replicated. Congrats on your 10 years and livin' the dream!

    ReplyDelete
  152. I love micron pens and paper. Simple.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I loveee cheap tools! Paper towels are probably my go to. Take a big wad of them and press them onto your wet paint and it leaves amazing lines and details. Especially if you buy the "fancy pants" brands, haha! Those leave patterns and prints behind. It's one of the cheapest items I use to paint, and I can't live without it!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I love working in watercolor and gouache is starting to growing on me as a close second, though I guess that can also be considered watercolor as well! So all types of watercolor!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I have been working with watercolour for over thirty years and don't feel yet that I've plumbed the depths of the medium.

  166. I cannot say that I have a favorite medium. It's usually just the medium of the moment, be it paint, ink, pencil or what have you. Congratulations on following your bliss and for sharing so much with your readers!!

  167. I thought long about what is the thing I use the most when I make drawings, but I think I have to answer ballpoint to that. Nothing fancy, just what I always have at hand when I feel like drawing something.

  169. Definitely cut paper. I had an art teacher in hs that created a project of interpreting a famous work of art with only white cut paper. Now, I prefer a bit more color, but love cutting, folding and reshaping to create.

  170. I got married a little over two weeks ago, and almost all my art supplies aren’t accessible right now. I did manage to keep a couple of travel sized tins of watercolors and a few waterproof pens out when I was sorting and packing, so I’ve been turning to those for doing watercolor backgrounds that I can then doodle over to help me calm down. <3

    My favorite medium is watercolor. I like that I can control the opacity of it and create large washes or fine detail.

  187. I love making art with upcycled materials...whatever those may be. Currently I'm using a textile artists discarded faux chenille scraps (usually discarded) to make a sumptuous lap quilt. So satisfying on many levels...the creative one being working with the constraints of the material. Love your ideas, current and past ones, and use them to inspire me to get moving!
