Here's what past participants are saying:

"Artist Zoom Play Dates are a fun and safe way to grow in my art practice.  We try new things and Briana provides both connections for participants to go deeper on a topic and recorded directions for those that need to review.  I love this art community that I can join from my basement art space."

-Deborah 

"I so enjoyed the Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions. I learned so much and I became more open and comfortable in my own abilities. It was great to see the same participants each time. Briana gives really good instructions and shares so many additional resources."

"I always learn so much from Briana. Her passion is infectious and it always inspires me! Her classes are also engaging and fun and always a no pressure just play environment."

"I highly recommend the Live Zoom Art Play Dates with Briana. Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week! Briana makes it fun, and I learned so much each week. Also, I enjoy working with the other participants and sharing."

"Briana'a weekly Zoom Art Play Dates have been a highlight of my weeks. I've learned so many new techniques and had a lot of fun! Briana's focus on the process rather than the outcome is so supportive . . . . really frees me up to just dive right in."

Thank you for taking care of yourself through creativity and community. I truly can not think of a better way to get through these challenging times.

I honor you and am so grateful to be here with you.

Briana

New Art for the Holidays and Other Updates

Greetings, Everyone,

I hope you are well and finding some peace and calm in the midst of your days.

I have been busy making art to sell in my OrangeSpiralArts Etsy shop! 

This is a new push for me, and so far, I am pleased with the response.

I created a series of Angel paintings. I have sold 3 of the 6.

Here are the ones that are remaining at the time of this writing.

From left to right:

Angel of Faith 

Angel of Forgiveness

Angel of Reason (SOLD)

Angel of Serenity

I also am working on a series of pinwheel collage art ornaments.

I have 8 Pinwheel Heart Ornaments available, and 4 more smaller ones in the works.

If you are subscriber to the Orange Spiral Arts newsletter, you have an email waiting for you with a discount code for FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING Friday, Dec. 10-Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021.

(Look for my photo at the bottom or sidebar of this page and the words "Subscribe to our mailing list" to get yourself subscribed).

Another fun project I have been working on is making zines for the MN Visual Journal Collective 2021 zine swap.

I had a few extras, so I may list those in my OrangeSpiralArts Etsy shop soon.

On top of preparing art to sell, I have also been participating in the art challenge called CarveDecember. It's hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. The idea is to carve a stamp a day for the month of December. There are prompts, but I do my own thing.

Last, but not least, I will be offering more Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions in 2022. This fall and winter of 2021, we've been meeting on Tuesdays at 11am CST. If you have additional times and days of the week to suggest, I am all ears! I am deep in the planning stages of 2022 right now.

I am really into watercolor, gouache, and ink lately. How about you? What are your go to supplies these days?

Let me know in the comments of this post, or reply via email.

I am working on some new offerings, which will likely be related to the above listed supplies. I am excited about this!!!! With Distance Learning this past year for my son, my time to create videos for online classes has been slim.

I am also thinking about offering some Live Zoom sessions. You can think of them as adult play dates with art supplies, or hangouts, or simply time to connect with other people!

If you'd like to keep informed about upcoming classes and events, be sure to sign up for the Orange Spiral Arts newsletter. On the sidebar of my site, look for my smiling face and enter your email address in the box! Thanks so much for your interest!

Thank you for being here.

You and your creativity matter!

Carve December 2020-31 Days of Hand Carved Stamps

Welcome! Thank you for visiting Orange Spiral Arts.

First of all, how are you doing? 2021 has already had a rough start. I am thinking of you. Give yourself a great big hug right now from me to you.

Carve December

Do you like to create or look at hand-carved stamps? 

I have a video to share with you. It features the stamps I carved for the 31 days of December 2020. This is an art challenge that is hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer on Instagram. The hashtag to look up on Instagram is #carvedecember or #carvedecember2020.

I have a bunch of photos of my hand-carved stamps, too. Those may end up in a different post.

For now, I have this little video I made for you. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks in advance for watching. : )

In the interest of time, that's all I've got for today.

I hope you found some inspiration even though this is short. I am trying to post more often, and so short and sweet it is!

May you be safe and well. I am sending good energy out to you now!

Thank you for your support!

December 2020 Art Inspiration and 2021 MN Visual Journal Collective Information

Greetings, Everyone!

What a wild ride we've been on this year.

I have neglected my blog, as my focus has mostly been on family. However, I have been making some art in the spaces in between.

Above are a bunch of postcards that I mailed out for the participants of the MN Visual Journal Collective who signed up for Postcard Swap Round 4. These cards were a lot of work, yet also quite fun and rewarding to create and send off.

Speaking of the MN Visual Journal Collective, Molly (co-facilitator of the MN Visual Journal Collective) and I have planned out the 2021 schedule. If you'd like more information, visit my page all about the MN Visual Journal Collective.

I also have a couple of random photos to share with you.

First up, here are some colorful stripes I learned how to create in Tammy Garcia's online class Groovy Grunge. I am so happy I signed up for this class. I just love Tammy's ideas, use of color, and plain explanations for how to create . . . well, everything she shares.

Finally, I have been working on an art challenge this month called Carve December. It is hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, and it mostly happens on Instagram with the hashtag #carvedecember or #carvedecember2020.

In early January, I will be sharing a post all about the stamps I carved. For now, if you are on Instagram, I invite you to take a look at my OrangeSpiralArts feed. 

Since I have been way into hand-carved stamps this month, I decided to alphabetize and use a very special set I have been coveting. 

Read the letter to understand what they are all about.

I wrote a little story on Instagram that I will share here, too.

I am so grateful to my mom for sharing her creative energy with me. She is trained as a fine artist, and I am an expressive, abstract artist. Yet, we can still share some of the same supplies, as we both love mixed media, collage, fiber, and printmaking.
A while ago, my mom gave me her set of hand-carved alphabet stamps. I don’t think I used them until today. One thing the global pandemic is teaching me is to use your art supplies, and make/do things you enjoy.

I am sending good energy and love out to you all. Thanks for reading a piece of my art story. 

 

Thanks for reading this post. I miss you all.

Many Blessings and Gratitude to you,

Briana
