Today: Get Messy Art Journal | Brave, Weeks 1-3
I wish I could say I’ve been busy doing super cool things, but mostly I’ve been either at the office or the dentist or reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a very hungry fifteen-month-old. I’ve neglected the Internet, my weekly manicure ritual, and routine art…

Today: My favorite online classes.
I spend a lot of time in schools for work, which often makes me miss… being in school. It also probably explains why I’ve had a cold for six months. I’m pretty sure I always loved being a student. Even in middle school, when I…

Today: Easy paint projects.
You know that saying, A little goes a long way? That’s the theme today. Got a little paint leftover from a bigger project (say, that time your husband painted the nursery while you spent the day eating ice cream)? Or maybe you can’t bear to throw…
