Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be recommending a book that’s a little different than what I’ve been posting recently: Learn to draw in a weekend! Oh, and in case you were wondering why there was no Modest Monday post this week: since it was Independence Day, I was pretty busy and wasn’t able to write one. Hopefully I’ll be…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday I’ll be sharing my latest art project: a four seasons painting. Let’s get started! What do I mean by a four seasons painting? Well, I divided this canvas into four sections. Each section (if everything works out like I’m planning 😉 ) will contain a painting using a reference photo from each of the four…
Hello Again! Today on Reading Wednesday (even though it’s Thursday 😉 ) I’ll be sharing something a little different: Calligraphy Made Easy. Let’s get started! One of my goals this new year is to work on getting a little better with some of my hobbies/skills. Calligraphy is one of those things I enjoy doing, but I’m not too confident that…
Hello again! Today I’ll be continuing last Saturday’s post with How I Decorated for Christmas: Part Two. Let’s get started! Jumping right into it, here’s what I placed on top of my second book shelf. It’s not the prettiest Christmas tree, but at night when the fairy lights are on, you can’t tell how sparse the branches are. 😉 These…
Because, yes, it is that time of the year! As I said in a previous post, I decorate for Christmas on December 1st. What I mean by that is that I decorate my own room on December 1st. Usually the decorations in the rest of the house go up before then. 😉 Anyway, let’s get on with how I decorated…
Today I’ll be sharing a little about how we’re going about decorating with goldenrod. Also, I’ll be posting a few pictures that I’ve taken recently that just look like “Fall”. Ready to get started? Starting out, in case you’re not familiar with goldenrod, here it is in it’s natural state. It grows profusely on our property, and blooms bright yellow/golden…
Today I’ll be a sharing a few photos of the process of personalizing a hand-bound book. Yes, I’ve never posted anything like this before, but that’s what Simply Saturdays are for! Here is the book in question. I should make it clear that I was not the one to do the binding. This is my brother’s copy of The Lord…
Today I’ll be sharing a little mixed media project I’m working on. I haven’t finished it yet, but I thought I’d share where I am in the process. Let’s get started! Pictured above is the image I’m working off of. I don’t really think my project will look very near to it, but it’s nice to having something to use…
As I’ve posted before, I’ve recently been interested in creating custom note cards. There’s an endless amount of variety that can be drawn onto a blank card. I’ve mostly been drawing (no pun intended 😉 ) inspiration from flowers, vines, leaves, etc. The two cards above are some that I finished already. Today I thought I’d take you through the…
Hello again! Today we’ll be taking a peak into one of the recently completed projects in my sketchbook. A week or so ago, I found a course on Craftsy that looked interesting. It was called Seven Days of Drawing, and it involved watching a short video everyday (well, in theory. Due to some busy days, I didn’t actually finish the…
