Twenty-sixteen went by fast. I now have a feeling technology makes life move faster. Not literally, of course, but just the time spent on the Internet on social media, blogs, and smartphones takes up almost every minute of our lives. I'm happy to say that I was still able to accomplish 2 of my 5... Continue Reading →
Finished this piece last week. You can check my steps and the YT tutorial I followed on my craft blog: A Quiet Craft Space.
A couple of exciting things I've been up to. I like my old watercolor sets but wanted to try something a little more pricey to compare. I bought this Kuretake watercolor set and I'm really excited to get started on it. I'll share swatches once I find the courage to actually use it. It's so... Continue Reading →
These Shaman bells are used in Hmong spiritual rituals. I am not Shaman so I am not familiar with the rituals. I only know that they are used but I have no idea how and what for. Another term for the spirit calling is "jingle bells," or in Hmong, Hu Plig (pronounced, who-plee).

They took her and converted her nose to one of theirs because it benefited her in that she would be able to smell danger and poison and such much easier and... Continue Reading →
I found a few drawing challenges on social media and decided to join the Spoon Flower 30 Day Spoon Challenge. I don't spend a lot of time on the drawings...maybe a few minutes to one hour. The hardest part is trying to figure out what to draw. Even with a prompt daily, I just don't... Continue Reading →
Daughter and I had a day of water coloring. She was done after one piece but I decided to practice a little more. When it comes to painting, I'm horrible at it. I struggle so much with it but I try anyway because I really want to get the hang of it. I find that... Continue Reading →
