Yesterday was my 26th birthday! I don’t get super excited about birthdays anymore, maybe that’s an indication of getting older hehe. It’s strange, in a way I feel like I never really experienced the ages 24 and 25.. I kind of still feel 23. And in other ways I still feel 15 and 12 [...]

This is heavily inspired by two lovely ladies, namely Suzi Blu and Miss Wonderful Tam!! Their videos and art have inspired me so much and without them I probably wouldn’t have made this big step of working on canvas! Thank you! Materials used: Acrylic paints, watersoluble [...] Inspired by Suzi Blu‘s prompt to ‘Start with a Flower‘. This one doesn’t feel finished yet but I ran out of ideas. Started a while ago, still in progress. I’m thinking of adding a little pocket where I can insert the little cardboard bit. Andrew gave me a [...] I am so inhibited when it comes to working in my art journal it’s not even funny, but I managed another page. Inspired by Suzi Blu’s prompt to make accordion pages. Had to get out the boyfriend to set the eyelets as I just can’t muster enough force (I think it’s hilarious “honey.. can [...] |
