Welcome to my blog

If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.
This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.

I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!

If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.


Take care!

Today's Art: Translucent Layered Poppies in Watercolor

 Watercolor Poppies


Watercolor Poppies with Winsor & Newton Cotman #Emma Jane Lefebre

Winsor & Newton Cotman & Canson XL Watercolor Paper



I found a fun tutorial on Youtube, by Emma Jane Lefebre, and was able to follow along to make these pretty translucent poppies.

It was not as easy as Emma makes it look but she is a pro and I am a newb, lol. It's hard to figure out how much water to use; too much and you get a runny mess; not enough and you're dry brushing, lol.

I had fun though, and am very happy with my first attempt at translucent poppies.  I should have waited until tomorrow to take photos as it's almost midnight and quite dark, so they photos don't look as nice as the real painting.  

If you want to try the tutorial, you can find it: here
