I am having so much fun with these basic water color landscape practices. Putting together some handmade water color journals that will be for sale during Art in the Park later this month. Hoping for hoards of painters to come join me online or in the studio to paint our little hearts out. Inspiration is everywhere!!

I love this guy. I’m kind of a prude so any talk about “washing your behind” makes my tummy a bit queasy. But his other talk makes up for it. SO — if you don’t know him, check him out. And like he says, please “be kind”. 😊

My dear & very sweet friend Pam Morgan stopped by the Afton Creative Art Studio yesterday morning. I finally got to meet her husband Joe (we both married Joes!!) and her three kids. It was so great to share a bit of Afton Area with them!!
Such a fun ending to a great family trip to Minnesota! Seeing my friend, Liz from Afton Creative Art Studio in Afton, MN. She is such an amazing and talented artist, and her studio is an explosion of creativity. Definitely a future girls retreat!

Liza Jane Designs was born and continues to grow from a desire to create. And to redeem. To take discarded or rejected items and use quality materials, imagination, and simple techniques to re-imagine them as items that can be treasured in a unique home setting. Such as yours.
Because I find such joy in creating, I want to share this with anyone who wants to learn. I believe that everyone is creative at their core and I want to encourage you to look with new eyes at what's around you and imagine ways you can change and beautify your surroundings. Because it's fun. Because it's empowering. Because it's good for the soul and good for the planet to RE-USE and RE-imagine. To know the value of good stuff and breathe life into what's old and dusty. To create from simple materials. To create from your very own hands.
Today, I officially launched my online store selling Iron Orchid Designs (IOD) products. Soon I will add a line of Wise Owl paints. Next week will be the GRAND OPENING of Liza Jane’s IOD Market as a kiosk-based addition to upstairs of fabulous Eye Candy ReFind in Hasting. MN. I hope to do fun & inspiring workshops and get every single person who wants to start making to start making. And to believe in their power to create something beautiful.
