On Being Good

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t preoccupied with my own goodness . Am I good? Am I good? But am I good enough? Good is a word that children hear early and often. A child probably …

Mourning a Hero

I figured with the amount of celebrity loss this year I’d be inoculated against the grief of any more, but I’m devastated. Carrie Fisher is dead.

  As Leia, Carrie changed the word “princess” from an insulting curse word to something of value. No singing in the woods for this princess; no meek following of male will, no being in the shadows while others do her bidding. All things I hated about…

Black Friday

To be honest Black Friday isn’t my thing. That being said; be sure to get to Dragon’s Lair Austin for great deals, wonderful service, and fun products! 

My necklaces are in the display cases just past the first register! Featuring Pokémon, Star Wars, Capt. America, Dr. Who, Rocket Racoon, & Deadpool! 

If you’re looking for a great gift for the geek in your life (or yourself; I don’t judge!);…

Experimenting

I’ve been playing around creatively and I hope you enjoy!

These have turned into necklaces. My first set and so I started with some variety! Star Wars (of course), Captain America, Dream (of the Endless), and Dr. Who.

The feedback has been nothing but positive and next week I hope to begin selling this set locally. After that I will be making so many more and hope to have some available on-line!

Index Card a Day Week 3

Index Card a Day Week 3

If you thought doodles and watercolor were fun; check out collage!

 15/61 Route 66, our prompt, is an iconic American highway. It was the first of it’s kind with an amazingly rich history!

 16/61 Greeting Card. I actually had some greeting cards cut up in my box of collage images. So nice to actually use them!

 17/61 Wabi Sabi. I had to look this up and discovered it’s literally the beauty of…

Index Card a Day Week 2

Index Card a Day Week 2

Week 2’s theme was paints. I only have watercolor pencils and the paint I use for miniatures. I went with the pencils.

 Day 8: Grapefruit & Cherry are some of the yummiest fruits! I tried to create the floating in water effect that you see on commercials. Not too bad if I say so myself!

 Day 9: Lemon & Carrot also delicious. I stayed w/ a drawing of the actual produce. Honestly, it didn’t even…

So, dearest readers, I am participating in the Index Card a Day Challenge! Check it out and get on board!

Daisy Yellow is my new favorite place. I found it on a google search for art journaling. I already collage and was looking for a way to incorporate that into my journals.

I will be blogging about the challenge, but don’t want to get in your inbox everyday. I’m posting daily cards on Instagram

Shameless Birthday Wish!

I’m shamelessly asking for shoes for my birthday (April 16th). I’m going to be 40 (I, know, right?!) and I’d like shoes I can wear after putting my art on them. These yellow are begging for Lanterns!

If you want to buy me a pair (any like the style above are great); Clog Outlet is the way to go! Size 8.5 (9 if they scream “bethany” to you) like these Pink ones!

PU or Polyurethane has to be in…
