2017  STREAMATHON UPDATE

Hey there all you artists and crafters, here is the updated list of streamers and their live links.  This still may be updated and changed as time goes on but for now this is our schedule for our 2017 Streamathon. 

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT

It is that time of year again and preparations are underway for this year's NEW YEAR'S EVE STREAMATHON

 I am part of a wonderful online art community. Some of us have even met in person either as part of an Art Retreat, because of traveling and/or vacation visits or some have discovered they live near a fellow community member.  Right about now, I bet you are thinking what is this online community I am talking about?  I will give you a brief outline...

More than 7 years ago I found Paula, aka Journal Artista, on her YouTube channel then on Ustream.tv and through her the extremely talented Dede WIllingham (Inkwell/Inkiwell) and the small group of people who at that time watched these 2 wonderful artists on Ustream.tv.    Shortly after this I also began to do live streams. Over the last 7 years, this community has grown a great deal.  Of course like all groups of friends some have gone and new people are always finding their way to this wonderful, funny, sharing group of artists. 

We have talent in all types of media from watercolour to mixed media, to portraiture to quilting, knitting, crocheting and almost any other type of media and craft you can think off.  There is something for everyone, especially friendship.  

There is a group of us who stream on a regular basis, there are some who stream occasionally and some who are the stalkers, um I mean the audience.  But all are vital to our group. 

Several years ago a number of us were discussing doing something special on New Year's Eve and we decided to go big.  Yes siree, instead of one of us streaming a special show we decided to celebrate the New Year in each time zone around the world and have many streamers and VOILA we have a NEW YEAR'S EVE STREAMATHON.  And Streamathon it is!  As close to 24 hours as we can get.  The time slots are for the most part 2 hours long and somewhere in the world during the stream citizens celebrate the beginning of the New Year.  

The content on the stream is planned by the individual streamer.  Some will deliver a stream similar to their regular stream; some a special project.  Some may even do a project that you can play along with.  If the streamer is planning an art along,  I will either post a supply list and/or pattern here on the blog. or link to the streamers blog so you can collect everything you need and play along with the streamer.  Off course you are free to do your own art or for that matter simply watch and chat.  

Below is a list of the streamers and times.  Notice this all begins on the morning of Dec 31st.  Yes, you read that right.  Remember we are celebrating the New Year all around the world in as many time zones as we can.  Thus far I am the only streamer filled in but as the next week or so passes more streamers will choose their time and I will update the list as they do.  Notice all the times are posted in Eastern Standard Time.

PLEASE NOTE: The links on this file do not yet work.  Once the spaces are filled I will create a file with active links to each streamer, so when the time comes you will be able to have this page open and find each streamer.  

Thanks so much for reading and we really hope that you will join us and tell your friends all about it.  You can come watch one streamer or all of us.  Everyone is welcome those who are young and those young at heart.  

Thanks

NoJoPro (Novemebr Journal Prompts)

I was so excited waiting for Dawn DeVries Sokol to post the NaNoJouMo prompts for 2017.  I even have my journal made and ready to go with a daily watercolour page.  I had decided to use the prompts to inspire a watercolour painting so I could practice using my new M. Graham watercolours (graciously given to me by Melody G) and I have some Daniel Smith, Sennelier and Schminke watercolours graciously shared with me by Carol TMT (The Magickal Touch on UStream and YouTube).  

I was so disappointed not to see any prompts today for NaNoJouMo and not even a word about whether there will be any forthcoming.  So I decided to do my own prompts.  I like to journal using either lyrics of a song or a quote to inspire me.  However i don't want to limit others to that so I am simply going to use one word as a prompt and then you all can take it and let it inspire you however you work best.  

Do you like watercolour, oils, acrylic, mixed media, sketching, tangling scrapbooking or other medium?  Then this set of prompts is for you.  Do whatever you like.  The goal is to just do some art everyday no matter what form it takes for you.  Please enjoy.  

If you Share your art on social media please tag it #NoJoPro2017.  Thanks and Enjoy.  

Feel free to print this jpeg and include it in your journal.  if you don't finish in November then finish when you can.  

Split Primary Colour wheel...

Just a quick post to share the PDF of the SPLIT PRIMARY COLOUR WHEEL file I created.  Please feel free to download and use.  If you would like to see my video on how I use this you can click the link HERE to my YT recording. 

Enjoy

NEW YEAR'S EVE STREAMATHON 2016

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A FUN TIME AND WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE INTERNET AND USTREAM CONNECTIONS THAT ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE STREAMERS!!!!! 

Click HERE for a PDF of the streamers list you can print it and follow along that way if you wish...IMPORTANT NOTE - the links on the pdf will not link you directly to the streamer just to the ustream homepage for a live direct link see the list above.

Here is an interesting link showing all the time zone for the new year....

https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/newyearmap.html

Our group has done this a few times before and it is a lot of fun.  Some streamers may work on a specific project that you can follow along with.  In this case I will post info here on an update.   Some will simply work on whatever is on their desk.  It is up to the individual streamer.

Also we are not organizing any major prizes or giveaways so please don't come thinking you can win a huge prize like some other streamers give away on NYE.  This is simply for fun and a chance to spend time with our wonderful art community.  That being said; some individual streamers MAY choose to have a giveaway but that is not expected and totally up to them and it will also be up to that streamer and their mods to decide how the giveaway will work.  

PLEASE NOTE:  Neither myself nor any of the streamers will give credence to complaints regarding the process of the giveaways.  There is lag with Ustream chat and therefore the streamer and/or their mod(s) will make final decisions on giveaway winners based on the results in their chat.

I hope to see you all Dec., 31st, 2016


Please remember this evening will be for FUN and FUN ONLY.....


Watch for future updates as we get closer to the New Year!
