Day 11 of the Tour brings us to Jodi Ohl’s blog.

Jodi’s a single mom who works full time and still manages to find time for art. Why? Because it’s important to her. That’s why we all strive to find time in our busy days to be creative. The difference between wishing you had time to create and making time to create is in the ‘doing’. It’s no big secret, but when you look around you see that finding time is a common problem. It doesn’t have to be.

Build your art life just like you build your artwork,

layer by layer,

one step at a time, reusing and repurposing as you go along until you find what works for you.

I’m happy to announce that I’m having some bookplates made for those who have bought books from other places and would like them signed. If you would like a signed bookplate, send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to me at 1930 W Buena Vista ST, Springfield, MO 65810 and I will pop one in the mail to you free of charge. Here’s what they look like

I’m hoping to get to see each of the contributors for the book IRL and have them sign my copy! I already have 3, and I’ll be seeing 4 more at ART IS come October! Be sure to check the contributors teaching schedules too as you hop from blog to blog, many of us will be teaching in the same venues and we’re all looking forward to meeting up!
