Printmaking project #1 is complete! Our objective was to create a print that had a good balance of white and black. For class on Saturday, I need to turn in six of my best prints. I laid all of the prints on my bed tonight to whittle it down to the best six (out of […]

Project Life: Week 5 (2013)
It feels like this year is already flying by! I can’t believe I’m already finished with week five of Project Life. I did a lot of handwriting this week because I wanted to get the spread done quickly. It’s more important to finish this every week than it is to get too fancy. I think […]
Daily Pattern Challenge: January Wrap Up
It’s a few days into February now, and I’m just now getting around to gathering my thoughts on the January daily pattern challenge. Overall, I think January was a success for me, and I enjoyed the process much more than I did in December. I loved carving the stamps, and I loved the immediacy of […]
Project Life: Week 4 (2013)
I’m still really enjoying Project Life in week four, and happy that I’m still “caught up”. Last week at this time, I was already behind by a couple of weeks. This is one of those weeks that I couldn’t imagine doing a full size album. I had trouble filling the pockets in the mini album […]
Sunday Seven: Things More Exciting Than The Super Bowl
Does anyone else love using Super Bowl Sunday to catch up on art projects or other productive things while everyone else is distracted by watching football? Here are seven things I did today that were more exciting than watching the game. 01. Watched videos of Maira Kalman talking about her work on YouTube. My goodness, […]
List it Tuesday: Reusable Grocery Bags (Things You Collect)
Today’s List it Tuesday topic at Artsyville is Collections. My sister would probably laugh at this, but I don’t consider myself a person who intentionally keeps a lot of collections. Unintentionally? Oh yes, that I do. Magazines, paint brushes, blank journals, yarn and art books are just a few. After thinking about it for a […]
What’s New? Vine
Twitter and Instagram are buzzing about Vine right now, so I jumped in last night. You can read more about Vine here and here, but basically it’s a app that lets you record 6 second videos in segments. You can stop/start the camera by pressing down on the screen. I can already see so many […]
Project Life: Week 3 (2013)
I’m still loving filling little pockets for Project Life in week three! Honestly, I’m pretty impressed by anyone who does this weekly in a larger album. It’s sometimes hard for me to fill seven little pockets, but maybe as I continue to work on this I’ll get better at taking more photos and writing down […]
Rainbow Artist Trading Card
Today I’m sharing a cute little Artist Trading Card (ATC) I made for Katie. I used the design from this sketchbook page. I love that the design wraps around to the back of the card. I haven’t made one of these in years, and I forgot how fun it is to make tiny little pieces […]
Daily Pattern Challenge: January Update
I’m twenty-one days into the daily pattern challenge… or eighteen if you’re counting days of actually making patterns. Ah yes, I’ve had a slip. I can’t remember what my excuse was on Thursday, but then on Friday and Saturday it was too easy to just continue the pattern (ha, pun totally not intentional!!). Yesterday I […]
