Inktense Pencils on Large Tea Bags
These muslin reusable tea bags are a fun canvas for painting. You can use these in junk journaling and tucking in small gifts for birthdays and holidays. They are 4 x 6 inches, making them a great size for many things. Since they are fabric, you need to use art supplies that will stay put. :) I chose to use Inktense pencils. Once activated and dry, they are permanent. Of course, you can use other Inktense products like the blocks, but you can paint with acrylic or gouache as well! In this ... View the Post

Painted Frog in Calligraphy Inks & Tutorial VIDEO
I have been painting frogs in the last month. I'm not sure why, except maybe that the simple shape of a frog lends itself to creative potential. Here is a very simple painting where the attention is more on the beautiful calligraphy in from J. Herbin and Gold Winsor & Newton metallic goodness! I created a seamless pattern design (and collection coming in the future) from this little guy and entered him into Spoonflower's Leap Year Frog challenge. The link to vote is ... View the Post
