Sparkling New Workshop & Glittering Giveaway


I am so excited to announce my new workshop for 21 Secrets 2013..."Sparkle-arkle". 

 Here's a little sneak peak.....



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

    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.

  33. Thank 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!
