While I was away

I really did enjoy my time away from the computer, but that doesn't mean that I took a break from sketching!!

I drew a lot of thumbnail versions of larger sketches to see if they would work on Sculpey pendants...

and tested out the new pen my MIL gave me for Christmas!!

I don't know about you guys, but I love getting art supplies for Christmas!!

Christmas break!

Hey all! I'm going to take a two week break from posting so that I can recover from the holidays and enjoy some extra time with my family.

See you on the flip side!

in my studio: making lemonade out of lemons!

So, something good did come out of my most recent DIY fail. I liked how my sketches translated onto Christmas ornaments so I thought that I would try and see how they looked on sculpy.

Now I just have to seal them and turn them into pendants!!

Faux porcelain: DIY fail!!

I attempted to make some Christmas ornaments using a "faux porcelain" recipe I found on Pinterest. Think I didn't cook it long enough...

 I kinda saved some by sketching on them with permanent markers.

Love the idea of this so I'll probably whip up another batch later on in the month and try again.

SB: if you give a mouse a cookie...

they will want a glass of milk. Or, in my case, if you let your daughter have her own sketchbook, then she will think that your's if fair game, too! :-)
