I am lovin’ my creative community. A group of like minded souls coming together. All age,shape, size, color and nationality. Many different forms of creative medium.
I am only three months in to this community of fliers and I already feel a connection with these women, part and parcel of a collective, creative journey. A community that constantly encourages one to push past boundaries, be brave and believe in themselves. Inspiration at its finest!
I was a little hesitant of joining an online creative group at first. Unsure of the rules and etiquette around blogging and online communities, I stood silently on the sidelines. I watched and listened as those around me reached out first with their creations,slowly added their stories and personal life and finally their souls.The enthusiasm and support I have witnessed has been overwhelming. There is so much LIFE going on within the group. I feel very special being a part of it all. I have to be honest, I also feel a wee bit guilty if I stay away for to long!
Big Blank Page of Possibility..
Have a little peek into their lives. Have a look at their creations and listen to their story.
I think you will like them as much as I do!

Love dragonflies, beautiful words, thank you for being part of the Fly Tribe.
Thankyou Julie for flying alongside me. I loved reading your story and it resinates within me too. It’s been wonderful to have met you, and all this online, in a facebook group, well who would have thought coming from two non believers heheha! It certainly is so very inspiring. You are yourself one very inspiring artist too (o: Liza xxx
Hello fellow fly-girl! The page lettering is awesome! You are one blog I follow – consistently great material and thoughts!!!
I LOVE your art, Julie! And your message has brought tears to my eyes. It has been a pleasure getting to know you.
Lori
Julie – your dragonflies are gorgeous! I love your words (great minds think alike by the way). I recently doodled something very similar during a meeting for my day job – giggle. You are an inspiration too!
Love the dragonfly art, and your words. Best, Kim
I love your art!!! What a beautiful blog!!! So glad you’re in my tribe!!! xoxo Kathy May
Your dragonfly is amazing and I admire anyone that can do calligraphy. I finally realized in art school that my problem with doing calligraphy is that I am left handed and i drag my hand across the ink as I write…. now I create words on the computer. The textures on your pages are beautiful!
Love, love, love your dragonfly! Thanks for your kind words to all of us.
Lovely sentiment, beautiful dragonfly. I too, held back not sure when to jump in. When I finally made the leap I felt lifted up by this amazing group of artists. Aren’t we all lucky to have found each other?Beautiful blog!
Julie, I love the variety of art you shared with us… I love the simplicity of the third image, colors and intensity of the first, but I think my fav is the word art of the second. I love your messages and how you intricately intertwined them! You are very gifted! Thanks for hopping with us! 🙂 Kris
Yay Julie! I love you work!!!!
Dragonflies! They are beautiful creatures. So nice to seem show up in your art.
Hey Julie!
First of all, I love your creation at the beginning of your post – it just pops. I agree that I was hesitant at first, but now I honestly feel like I know many of you and feel like if we met in person, we’d be like old friends. Thanks for being here!
Jill
Beautiful art and what a way you have with words! I always enjoy visiting your blog. I feel so blessed to be part of this wonderful group of creative souls!
your journaling and calligraphy is so special, thank you for sharing
Julie- your art is beautiful, and your handwriting is gorgeous!! I love your blog!!
Love your dragonfly! And very glad to be flying with you. I am so blessed by all of the wonderful, kind souls in this group.
I am loving the creative community too! Your dragon fly is lovely – well done!
Beautiful site. The colors and the style really sucked me in. Your piece today is wonderful, lovely colors. I don’t if the beautiful words will stay in a journal but they need to be framed. Gorgegous!
