Remember these book covers I made?  Well I have been doing some work on the pages.  I only have one page finished so far (but a lot more in the works) so I thought I’d share a couple pictures of it… hopefully I’ll have more soon (I have this habit where I don’t finish things.  [...]

(Pictura Gallery)
Today I went to this photography gallery for a class (the same class that sent me to the antique store.)  The woman working there talked to us about how the gallery got started, how it works, about the artists, etc etc.  The conversation of course got off topic and onto the current budget cuts [...]

Just a few pictures of a book I made:
It measures about 4.75 x 3.5 inches, so it’s little and cute, and has 32 pages.  One day when I open my Etsy shop (it’s going to happen, I promise… hopefully soon) I think I might sell something like this.  I love how small it is and [...]

In addition to the visual journal and the silhouette/star technique, we are also teaching the Saturday School class to make these hollowed out altered books.

Alright party people, it’s skyline tutorial time.  As I promised in my last post, here are the step-by-step instructions for creating this painting.

Watercolor paper (or any paper thick enough so it won’t rip when wet), watercolors, paint brush, water container with water, black paint, yellow [...]

I am, as most of you probably are too, completely in love with the Disney princesses.  I just found this picture on weheartit.com and my first thought was “Why is Ariel in a black dress??”(source)
They are all dressed as their nemeses!  I really like Ariel as Ursula, Belle as Gaston, and Jasmine as Jafar.  That [...]
