ready...set....POST!

welcome to karabou-creations!

my name is kara and i love to create! this blog will follow me on my journey to pursuing my passion for art and turning that passion into a career.

i am currently attending the art institute of sea
ttle for graphic design, working full time, and filling my (practically non-existent) free time with projects!

i have to admit, i am slightly intimidated trying to fill this first post =) so, i'm just going to jump right in!

the lovely ally over at
thevintagevalley.blogspot.com is hosting "The Traveling Journal", an art journal that 10 ladies around the globe are filling with original works of art! she was so kind to let me take part in this wonderful experience...and what do you know...i was the first to receive it!

here is a look at my pages in the journal:


this octopus was done using ink on paper.
the peacock was done using various fabrics (dupioni silk, denim, cotton, vinyl, and corduroy), along with sequins, glass beads, and real peacock feathers.

here's me with the finished product:

i sent the journal off to the next lady today, and i cannot wait to see what the others will put on the pages! thanks ally for putting this together!!

i have so much more to share with you, stay tuned for more karabou-creations! thanks for stopping by =)
