I am so excited to announce my new workshop for 21 Secrets 2013..."Sparkle-arkle".
Sprakle-arkle from Dion Dior on Vimeo.
"Sparkle-arkle" is a shimmering, twinkling, sparkling workshop that takes you on a dazzling journey through mixed media art techniques that will help bring your art journal pages to life.
In this workshop, we use an array of materials from glitter and embellishments, to crystal infused paint and pigments. We will learn how to use light and color to create mesmerizing art.
I was thrilled to present my beautiful mandala program "Wisdom Circles" as part of this gorgeous mixed media, art journaling program last year, and was so honored when Connie invited me to be a part of it again this year.
21 secrets is a year long program that consists of 21 amazing art journaling workshops, from 21 incredible teachers. Participants gain full access to all the workshops from day one, and have a full year in which to work their way through them. It is a self-guided, art journaling extravaganza of artistic learning, expression and fun. Each workshop has video and downloadable PDF's, and participants get access to the private 21 Secrets website along with all the discussion forums and support they need.
21 Secrets begins on April 1st, 2013. The cost is only $59 for the entire 21 Workshops. It's incredible value for money, and an amazing experience not to be missed.
21 Secrets is now open for registration, and to celebrate, I am giving away a special "Sparkle-arkle" art-journal pack to two lucky winners. These packs each contain a 5.5" x 8.5" Stillman & Birn Alpha Series Sketchbook, a full sized bottle of Silks Acrylic Glaze, a full sized pot of Twinkling H2O's (both from Luminarte), and a bottle of glitter. To be eligible, click here and scroll down to see all the workshop offerings that are part of the new 21 Secrets, then come back and leave a comment telling me which one (apart from mine) you're most excited about doing.
For a second chance to win, share this giveaway on Facebook, your blog, Pinterest, or Twitter and then come back and comment again. I'll be drawing the winners next weekend. So if you've been thinking about taking that next step with your art-journaling, then the new 21 Secrets could be the way to go.
Good luck and thanks for checking in. xx

FLOWER POWER with Ro Bruhn would be my next favourite class to take apart from yours. I love the colours and textures Ro uses in her journals, and she is another fellow Australian!!

ReplyDeleteI most look forward to Tammy Garcia's "Watercolor Playground." I have been following her on facebook and her website and would love to work under her!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Jodi Ohl's class.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous prizes and your workshop sounds great! I really hope to be able to take part in 21 Secrets this year as the 'Baby Got Back-to Back' class by Roben Marie Smith sounds really interesting!

ReplyDeleteI would love to explore Tranformative Art Journaling with Rachel Awes. This would be a great treat to win! I would love to try the Stillman and Birn journal too.
ReplyDeleteThese all look great and I'm especially looking forward to *Watercolor Playground*; I love watercolors! Your class looks very intriguing and I love sparkle and glitter.....
ReplyDeleteTransformative ArtJournaling sounds great! I shared this info on Facebook also so my friends can enter. TY
ReplyDeleteI was happy to be one of the teachers last year, such a great experience !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway <3
It is hard to choose just one. I am excited to see teachers like Carissa Paige, Danielle Daniel, Rachel Awes, Kate Crane. Would love to learn from them and all the other teachers.
Both it's hard to choose. I've taken some of Joanne Sharpe's workshops and loved them, but I think I would say, "Doodling Our Way". It will be wonderful to learn from so many talented people. Thanks for the chance to win your gift!
ReplyDeleteI just pinned your contest on my Journaling idea board on Pintrest!
ReplyDeleteThis is difficult! I know Go Green would be one of my top choices because I love recycling. Awesome group of women and classes! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so sold and excited for ALL of the workshops. I am going back to school after 20 years to finish a degree in psychology so Transformative Art Journaling with Rachel Awes really caught my interest. What a powerful line up of workshops! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI shared on Facebook and Pinterest about the giveaway! Thank you so much for offering such great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThey all look exciting but Watercolor Playground looks super interesting.
ReplyDeleteI shared on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful opportunity. What a wonderful workshop. Whitney Ferré's class spoke to me immediately since I'm in a 7 personal year in numerology in 2013 which is all about the inner journey of connecting to Spirit, my Higher Self, also connecting more with my intuition, spirituality, meditating and connecting with sacred symbols is also at the top of that list. Whitney's class fits perfectly where I'm allowing my energy to flow in 2013. Exploring my creativity is also right up there for me in 2013. It all fits the year I am embarking on perfectly. Thank you!

DeleteHi, I posted it on my Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteWatercolors with Tammy. I took one of her workshops last year and loved it. I will definitely be signing up for 21 secrets.
ReplyDeleteJudy Ohl's bold use of color entices me. Sparkly mandalas are amazing!
ReplyDeleteA Diary of a Highly Effective but Inconsistent Journaler with Jodi Ohl interests me because that's what I can be sometimes.
ReplyDeleteDoodling my way home...Joanne Sharpe!
ReplyDeleteSharing on my facebook page
ReplyDeleteGo green class sounds wonderful. But I really had hope to take a Diana Trout class
ReplyDeleteDOODLING OUR WAY with Cathy Bluteau sounds so wonderful, drawing it the hardest part for me!
ReplyDeleteShared on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteoh wow i did 21 secrets last year and loved it all and am booked in for this year as well lol so my choice would be THE GAMES JOURNALERS PLAY with Diana Trout this sounds like fun and something different as well...
ReplyDeletehugz bev
I have not done an art journal before, want to get started. So, A DIARY OF A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BUT INCONSISTENT JOURNALER sounds perfect for me. Also Words as Your Muse looks like it's right up my alley. I love to read and it would be fun to join art inspriation with reading.
ReplyDeleteOkey dokey, I signed up and I can't pick just one! I love your class Dion, the "Soup", Jodi's, Hali's!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/gloria.j.zucaro Here is my Facebook link that mentions your class and blog.
ReplyDeleteAhh... as you might expect... hard to choose... but I love all Joanne Sharpe classes, and very interested in the doodling one, too. Thanks Dion, for showing us your amazing art discoveries, and for a chance at the giveaway!

I shared at https://www.facebook.com/pam.drapala.
Have a bright and wonderful day, all! Hugs, Pam Drapala
i am always pondering where to start so ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER with Tracy Verdugo would really help me get over my fear of the blank page.
ReplyDeleteThe course with Diana Trout, the games art journalers play sounds intriging. Thanx for a chance to win
ReplyDeleteBABY GOT BACK-TO-BACK with Roben Marie Smith sounds like my cup of tea. I like mini albums and this and all inclusive class
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of techniques and book binding in Roben Marie Smith's class, so that's my biggest interest. Love your video, flash back to the 60's.
