An #mtgcardalter I did for my hubby. He's built a deck for it and this thing is lethal. #painting #mtg #cardalters

So in love with my Gansai Tambi Kuretake paints! The colors are so rich that I have to add tons of water just to do my usual light washes. But when I need that vibrant color it’s there.

Third portrait for practice done. This one really looks like the photo, so I’m really excited about it. I’m ready to take commissions now. I’m going to offer that in my Etsy shop: Lunarwings Art.

I wanted to try out some illustration techniques with my watercolors, so I asked a friend if I could color one of her drawings. This one was just too cute not to try it. I think it turned out really well.

Drawing by Rachel Borne. Colors by me.

Second one done too! :) This pose and lighting was challenging to do, but it’s so cute.

My first watercolor portrait and painting in a long while. Really pleased with how it came out.

Loving my new Gansai Tambi #watercolor set. It's different getting used to the vibrant colors but they work really well.

Keep moving forward...

I’m so proud of myself for sticking with my current manuscript. I have 5 WIPs and none are finished yet, but I’m striving towards a goal of finishing the one that I’ve got the most writing done on. I just reached 109 pages and ~35,600 words. My goal of 80,000 words is closer and closer.

Motherhood and Determination | cabakerwrites

The past year has been a roller coaster ride, with being pregnant and then giving birth to my little boy. It's taken all my concentration to get everything prep...

New blog post is up...

And after weeks and weeks of waiting and with a 20% germination rate, I finally got one New Zealand Spinach seedling. Hoping I can keep it alive and maybe get a few more going. Had no idea this one was that hard to get growing. #rareseeds #gardening #seedling

[cabakerwrites]

Very excited for these little seedlings. They are Egyptian Spinach (a relative of the ocra plant and a very ancient food...the Pharaohs ate this). :D #seedling #gardening #rareseeds

[cabakerwrites]

The seedlings are growing like crazy! #gardening #seedling #readyforspring
