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!

Inktober 6, Golden, Photo Manipulation in Procreate (Orange Gold fish)

Inktober 6, Golden, Photomanipulation in Procreate

 I've wanted to do this procreate photo manipulation tutorial by the talented Tatiana over at Tatyworks on Youtube for a long time. I thought a GOLDfish would fit the Golden prompt perfectly and gave it a go. This was so much fun and I learned so many new things about procreate!  If you want to give it a try you can find the tutorial here: photo manipulation by tatyworks

Inktober 3, Path, Rembrandt WC Paint,

 

Inktober 3, Path, Rembrandt WC Paint

I did this path painting using my Rembrandt watercolor paints. This could also cover the "golden" prompt, but I did it for the "path" prompt.  I LOVE this paint set.

Inktober 2023: Spiders, Rembrandt Watercolor Paints & Ink

 

Inktober 2 "spiders" Rembrandt WC and ink

Inktober 2:Spiders

The second prompt for inktober was spiders; I hate spiders and didn't want to do anything realistic.
So first I did this little doodle: 


And then I redrew parts of it on watercolor paper and tried out my brand new Rembrandt watercolor, which I won during world watercolor month in July.  



Wow, this paint is amazing! I've never used artist quality WC before and it is so pigmented and vibrant! I love it so much.

First Day of Inktober: DREAM/Procreate

 Inktober 2023 is Here

Every year I find out about Inktober too late to join but this year I was on time and plan on drawing or painting something every day!

Today's Prompt: DREAM

Inktober 2023: Dream/Done in Procreate #tatyworks


Today's prompt was dream so I did this dreamcatcher in procreate, following a tutorial by the talented Genevieve of Genevieve's Design Studio, on Youtube. 

It was a wonderful tutorial and I really like Genevieve explains all of the steps because it's been awhile since i used procreate and I've forgotten how to use it, lol.

I used watercolor brushes to get the soft, dreamy look.

I had a lot of fun and am looking forward to this challenge.
