Book 1: 61 Days of Index Card Art by Barbee is now in Kindle format

Wow, the last day of June is upon us!

This week, my husband Bruce uploaded the kindle version of my first book, “Book 1: 61 Days of Barbee’s Index Card Art” to Amazon.com. It’s a collection of all 61 pieces of my art from the June through July 2017 “Index Card A Day” (ICAD) Creative Challenge hosted by the wonderful artist, my creative guru and dear friend, Tammy Garcia (DaisyYellowArt). Tammy has been amazing I’m her encouragement and I do some art every day I’m keeping with her teaching. 

Although the paperback of this book is great to have and give as a gift, having this less expensive kindle version on your tablet or phone is super fun because I always have it with me.

I’m enjoying creating ICADs this June and July again and plan to release another book with these creations later this year. I’m including black and white art to allow you to color too! I can’t stress enough how magical art is for making our worries and pains disappear while we focus on creating fun projects!

My first book has been published!

Happy summer 2018 dear friends,

My first book is out, thanks to the help of my wonderful husband, Bruce. It’s titled “Book 1: 61 Days of Barbee’s Index Card Art” and is a collection of all 61 pieces of my art from the June through July 2017 “Index Card A Day” (ICAD) Creative Challenge hosted by the wonderful artist, my creative guru and dear friend, Tammy Garcia (DaisyYellowArt). Tammy continues to amaze me with her talent and dedication to telling the world about the benefits of creating something every day. 

This 6x9 inch, 70 page, paperback book with 61 pieces of whimsical, mixed media, stylized folk art, is available on Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble internet sites (links below) and more. I couldn’t adhere to having a short dedication since so many wonderful people have led me to this point, so I listed family, favorite current artists, and many of you dear Facebook friends and neighbors who encourage me everyday to continue creating art. If you’re name isn’t in here, it’ll be in one of my future books, lol. 

Its been amazing to discover the magical power of art. As I’ve gotten older, with aches and pains and life worries, I’ve realized that when I get wrapped up in the creative process - thinking, planning, drawing, painting, collaging, worry, aches and pain are suspended in time while I create. I hope my little book, comprised primarily of my art with tips and a few notes on each piece, helps others to love creating their own art, too. Doing a book was harder (and more expensive, unfortunately) than I thought, but I enjoyed it and am planning to publish my 2018 Index Card Art and a children’s book. I did not do this for money but rather to share my love of art and urge everyone to create art they love.

If You pick up the book, I urge you to enjoy the art and add your own by doodling in the white space around the pictures. It’ll help you begin your journey of self-expression and you’ll find yourself entering your own magical zone.
