i got a box of fun new art supplies this week. i’ve been wanting to invest in a set of inks for ages, so this ink focused box was just perfect. i had some really basic spray inks from my scrapbooking days, which i would use when inks were called […]
i wasn’t kidding about getting started on christmas gifts. this might be the earliest i’ve started, and it feels good! I just might hit that goal of mine to be done by the end of November. i am also working through my christmas planner, i want to have most of […]
i am still enjoying making mini pieces of art. once the inchie challenge was over i stumbled upon the squareathon challenge on instagram, so i’ve been using those prompts to keep the creativity going. since my art studio is out of bounds right now because of renovations, these mini pieces […]
