Creamy Soho oil pastels are wonderful to use. I especially love to use them in botanical paintings, as their creamy texture is easy to blend. I sometimes leave little "chunks" for added texture of flower petals. The range of color is nice, and they work well with my other favorites! There is a YouTube short at the bottom of the post. I used Canson Graduate toned cream paper, taping the edges off with washi for a nice clean finish. Soho does make an oil pastel pad that I have used a few times ... View the Post

Ladybug in Colored Pencil Fabric
Colored pencils were my first art love. They really are amazing and versatile little sticks of color! I favor Prismacolor, but use what you have and just start drawing.

AMAZING Double Chocolate Chip Raspberry Einkorn Cookies!
Einkorn is a lovely, softer grain that works really well in cookies and brownies. It is a bit better on the gut, so you may be able to digest it if you are sensitive to wheat (it is not gluten-free). This recipe is for double chocolate cookies that have cocoa powder, as well as dark chocolate chunks. I get mine from Thrive Market because they are sweetened with coconut sugar. I also added freeze-dried raspberries that I get HERE. Raspberry and chocolate are best friends! ☺️ I ... View the Post
