Recently, I have switched to making my own foaming hand soap using Dr. Bronner's soap and some dispensers. It is so much cheaper and easy! The only thing I miss is the pretty bottles that some brands com in that you can change with the seasons. I tried painting with my acrylics, and it worked perfectly! If you get the unscented soap, you can add essential oils to change the scents as well! VIDEO BELOW! I have a Labor Day sale going in my Etsy shop! ... View the Post
Blue & Orange Watercolor Flowers
Sometimes, a quick sketch is all that can be mustered. When I taught myself to play the piano, my philosophy was that five minutes a day is better than zero minutes a day. Whether or not our drawing is supberb (often it's not), there is always something to be gained in the exercising of creativity. Art journaling is a great way to create without the pressure! SHORT VIDEO HERE These watercolors are great for beginners! ... View the Post

My favorite is still Cooksventure for their heritage breed chicken, but this is great quality as well. They also have great sales to add to your box that makes grass fed and organic meat cost ...

Acrylic Painting in My Sketchbook
This hardcover sketchbook is meant for dry media, but acrylic and gouache paint need little water to perform. Just in case, I did put a piece of thin cardboard behind the page while painting, just in case something should seep through. It did not. The paper is a lovely cream! I'm pretty sure it is made by Daler-Rowney. I got it a bit ago, and there aren't indicators on the book itself. ... View the Post
Sketchy Flower in Watercolor & Video
I sketched a flower in waterproof ink, then added watercolors and Posca pens for a bolder finish. I love sketchy flowers! Drawing freehand in your journal is a fun way to practice without feeling like it matters if you fail. I've had a lot of duds, but you have to keep going and you will get to the ones you love.
