I am very excited to announce a brand new, free publication from Cre8it!

I hear you out there: “A new publication?!? She hardly ever gets an issue of Now What? done in a timely fashion!”

And that, actually, is the point, dear friends. Now What? is such a huge endeavor and often becomes *so* complicated while still in my head, that getting it all distilled to make sense as a magazine often takes more time than I can imagine when I begin. This issue turned out to be 88 letter size pages, and this growth is starting to scare me! It’s like somebody nuked something!

And a lot happens around here between issues that would be interesting to you all. But, it’s often not big enough stuff for a whole article - just tidbits, you know - sort of the stuffing of my “artist’s journal” (and my head), things I discover, tips about products I try, great quotations or interesting links. Etc., etc., etc.

And, an even bigger problem is that, since I don’t advertise in magazines, I have no way to let you know that I have uploaded new stamps or papers or products I just found or concocted. So it makes sense to create a vehicle for all that content, and to connect with everybody more often. My new publication will be a newsletter which might be anywhere between 1 and 6 pages long and which might show up any old time, but it will come out much more often than the full magazine.

It will be called “Whatever . . .Whenever” and will be Now What’s unpredictable stepchild.

Issues might contain any or all of the following:
Small and simple art projects and ideas.

More variations on projects from issues of Now What?

New product info (mine and others) and tips for using the products

Pictures of projects that readers have submitted - showing how they interpretted projects in Now What?

Anything interesting I find - from studio furniture to strange art materials to wonderful journal prompts and thought provoking quotations, to great books (art and otherwise).

Results (good and bad) of my “Ms. Science” experiments in the studio.

Comics starring Dear Me! if she cooperates.

News of interest to mixed media and paper artists. And on and on. - Whatever . . . Whenever


SUBSCRIPTIONS: If you are a subscriber to Now What? (that is, if you got an email announcement of the publication of this issue), you will get the announcement by email when a new Whatever . . . Whenever. . . is published as well. I thought about using separate lists and then thought better of it - after all we are trying to make life more simple - right?
