Become a doer not a dreamer is what I’ve always heard. I’ve done that for the most part because I just love exploring everything art. I’ll try anything really even I don’t have the most skill. I think skill comes with time. Skill comes with missteps, challenges, and blah days. I choose to take one small step forward.

Just a reminder to do the thing, and move on. You tried and you’ll thank yourself later.

Action builds confidence!

Wow it has been one long hot summer here in the south. Have to find ways to spend your days out of the heat. I’m one for waiting until the sun goes down if not dawn! I do my errands and shopping right before stores close. When it’s almost 100 degrees I definitely stay inside.

My embroidery helps pass the time. I’ve been experimenting and just enjoying creating fun pretty simple but delightful florals. I’m pretty spontaneous and love getting ideas and trying to make something simple but elegant and colorful.

Hope you’re surviving in summer the best way possible, it seems everyone is under hear advisories these days.

I’ll pop in from time to time, I’m hoping to update my shop sometime soon with a few of these pieces.

Happy crafting to you all!

Just a few quick things I’m working on! I hop between illustrations and embroidery. Just a little art every day is my motto.

Hope to share more soon.

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done anything with my blog or site! I want to at least add an update and share some new things. Over the past 6 months I’ve picked up my embroidery habit again. I simply can’t sit still, I need to be doing something with my hands and this is the perfect hobby for me! It’s organic, It’s relaxing and I get to use composition skills. So I’ve been creating lots of florals!

So far it’s been lots of minis and a few larger pieces. I’m loving deep oranges and reds. Not sure which direction I’m going yet but lately it’s just a fun little hobby and I may add a few to my shop at times. Business these days is up and down but would love to create for an income to keep creating since things tend to pile up over time.

Just wanted to pop in for a quick hello! Hope you all had a great holiday and manage to get some crafting time in.

Take care!

Embarking on a creative journey is like taking a trip to somewhere new – exhilarating, unpredictable, and full of adventure. In the ever-evolving landscape of creative fields, one thing remains constant: the importance of learning as you go.

As a creative individual, I've come to embrace the idea that mastery is not a destination but a continuous journey. In fields such as art, design, writing, and beyond, there's always something new to learn, explore, and discover. And while formal education certainly has its merits, there's no substitute for the hands-on experience gained from diving headfirst into your crafts and art.

Learning as you go is about embracing the process – the messy, imperfect, and wonderfully unpredictable process of creation. It's about allowing yourself the freedom to experiment, make mistakes, and grow along the way. Every brushstroke, every word written, every design iteration is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and refine your skills.

What makes learning as you go truly exciting is the element of surprise. And this is a big one for me, I’ve stumbled on some pretty unique outcomes that led me to discover more fun techniques! You never know what insights you'll stumble upon, what techniques you'll uncover, or what creative breakthroughs await around the corner. It's a journey filled with twists and turns, highs and lows, but each step forward brings you closer to unlocking your full potential as an artist.

So whether you're just starting out or you've been honing your craft for years, remember to embrace the journey of learning as you go.

Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and above all, never stop exploring. Because in the world of creativity, the possibilities are endless, and the adventure never ends.

In the realm of artistic expression, digital art stands as a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of creativity. As an artist who embraces this medium, I've come to appreciate how digital art is not just a departure from traditional methods but a unique form of artistry in its own right.

At its core, digital art shares the same essence as traditional art – the desire to convey emotions, tell stories, and evoke a response from the viewer. Just like a painter with a brush and canvas, digital artists wield their tools – be it a stylus and tablet or a mouse and computer – to bring their visions to life. The digital canvas becomes a playground for exploration, where imagination knows no bounds.

I’ve always embraced all art styles and have tried my hand a quite a few of them. But what if you fused any of them together? I love doing that with my own art.

What sets digital art apart is its versatility and accessibility. With an array of software and tools at our fingertips, artists can experiment with endless possibilities – from realistic illustrations to surreal landscapes, from intricate designs to abstract compositions. The digital medium allows for effortless experimentation, enabling artists to push the boundaries of their creativity and explore new techniques with ease.

My favorite these days is canva. Such a fun and easy tool once you get the basics.

As an artist, I've found that digital art is not just a medium but a mindset – a way of seeing the world through a lens of endless possibilities. It's about embracing the tools at our disposal and using them to amplify our voices, share our stories, and connect with others in meaningful ways. I’ll always continue to try new techniques and push the boundaries of art!
