I am still trying to complete the February classwork in the 2019 Artfully Inspired Life class taught by Joanne Sharpe. The March lessons will be up in a couple days and I still have quite a way to go to finish this month’s project pages. Let me show you what I’m doing. Joanne had us… Continue Reading
ATC Trades & Jams on Facebook is hosting another swap. This time the theme is steampunk which is totally right up my alley! Maybe you remember these two ATCs I made last month. The color was Jane Davenport’s Inkredible Inks and the paper was Stonehenge. When I got ready to make the two ATCs for… Continue Reading
According to the weather folks up here in Maine, our yearly average snowfall is 90 inches. This year we have already hit a little over 150 inches. And it is snowing again. Just lightly, but still. Before you worry about us getting buried by snow, let me say we had two days when it warmed… Continue Reading

Thus far the Avery Elle’s have not reacted like any other liquid watercolor I’ve tried. They are truly a world unto themselves, but I like them. A lot. These Bamboo Mixed Media papers come… Continue Reading
I am always looking for different ways to use color. Recently I posted about Avery Elle Liquid Watercolors. In that post I dropped the color straight onto a wet journal page in a book. For today’s post, I wanted to try Avery Elle on my craft mat and apply the color straight from there. For… Continue Reading
Do you remember this tile? Probably not and that is alright. I show you so much color on a daily basis, how would you possibly remember this one? Hahahaha! I couldn’t remember how I made it although I had my guess. So I went back into the site until I found where I originally showed… Continue Reading
I am learning something new and having so much fun! These little free-flowing flowers are so much fun to draw! I am using an Eco TWSBI fountain pen which I have never used to tangle with before. Joanne is really getting me to stretch and try new things in her class 2019 Artfully Inspired Life…. Continue Reading
