Happy Wednesday Reader! How's the week going for you? It's been an exciting week here.

Happy Wednesday Reader! This has been a week! Has it felt like it's taken twice as long as normal to get to Wednesday to anyone else? We've got a lot of astrological events coming up in the coming week and I think it's been spilling into this week as well. The best thing about this week so far is that I've finished the mural I've been working on this past month. Yesterday I stayed until I was done, the last 5 hours of the project. You're some of the first to see the final project! Of course,...

Happy Wednesday Reader! This week has been wild! It was already a short school week, and then we started the week off with two snow days! I knew the snow would finally come and here it is. I absolutely love it! (hit reply and tell me what you think about the snow!) The kids spent a lot of time painting, playing in snow, and so did I. I spent Monday working on the mural that I was commissioned to paint. It's coming along so well! I'm wicked excited to see it when it's done and the room is put...

Happy Wednesday Reader! Since starting this teaching gig, I haven't made too much jewelry, but there are still some new pieces. I haven't been forcing myself to create new items, just letting them come through as they come to mind. These little jellyfish came to mind Monday, so I sat down and made them right away. I may have gotten yelled at by a 7 year old at 8:30pm for hammering metal and making a racket. oops. I didn't realize it was making so much noise! But I got them done anyway without...

Do you believe in luck, Reader? Yeah, me neither. Well, not in the sense that things just randomly happen. I think luck involves a lot of intention and energy on our part. One could say I was lucky that this teaching job opened up, but I don't think that's it. The job had been open for a couple of years, and waiting for the right person. It wasn't until I actually said out loud that I was open to a teaching job that the information showed up for me the next day. When we open up to the...

Hey there! Happy Wednesday! I wanted to share one of my favorite pieces of art that I've created with you today. As I've been adding to my prints supply, I've found so much artwork I've done over the years. I saw that the date on this one, Tiger's Life, was just 2019, though it feels like it's been so much longer since I drew it. It's a mixed-media artwork with watercolor pencils for the background and colored pencils for the tiger and detail. I am obsessed with how it came out and honestly,...

hey there! Happy Wednesday! You've heard the saying "The grass isn't always greener on the other side". I think that's how it goes anyway. You get the idea. This is one of those times when I realized that I should have just stayed where I was. When I first started doing prints, I was using Fine Art America because that's what one of my favorite artists was using. But I wasn't making much money off of it. So when I came across Redbubble, it piqued my interest. A little shiny object syndrome of...

hey there! Happy Wednesday! There has always been a debate in the art world over tracing. Is it cheating? Is is totally fine? Does it hold you back? Help you? It's simply a tool like a grid, an eraser, or a pen. Tracing can help you get a feel of where things should be placed. But as it's a tool, I see it as something that you do sometimes and freehand other times. Sometimes you free-hand a picture, then trace it, then freehand a again. Today was one of those days that proved that point. So...

hey there! Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sitting at home, my first day off of the new job, and it's an odd feeling. I sent in sub plans for my classes, but I wish I'd been there with them. I'm really enjoying the teaching process. Today I decided to share an artwork that recently found its home. An odd choice, I know. You'd think I'd be sharing something still looking for a home. Last Saturday I had a local event. I always take my jewelry, some card decks, prints, and even originals. But I've...
