A Mixed Media Stand Up Owl Is Perfect For Your Woodland Decorating Theme?
Owl themed crafts are so much fun, and can be done in so many ways, depending on how much time you have to spend and just how many owls you want to make! I am trying to increase my painting skills, so another painted owl, this time a bit more woodsy than my stand up owl with wine cork feet, is what came to be. The only thing I actually planned was that it would be a cut out stand up owl, so I painted it on the back of a piece of cereal box cardboard, and while I am very critical of my own work, I actually really love…

A Fun Stand-Up Painted Owl With Wine Cork Feet!
Owl crafts are really so much fun and lend themselves to lots of creativity, as once you have the basic identifying features of an owl, namely the eyes and beak and compact body shape, you can do just about anything and it will still look like an owl! Recently I have been enjoying honing my art skills and bringing them into the world of craft by marrying the two through artful recycled packaging, birthday decor, succah decor and now a little bit of fall/winter seasonal decor that includes owls. It is true, a pink and green owl with striped pants might be most of all birthday party appropriate, but I…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to craft schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! This week we had our first rain of the year in Israel, and a big rain it was, with water rushing everywhere in my neighborhood and folks suddenly scrambling to find umbrellas, coats, sweaters and all things winter! Chanukah is “early” this year, beginning on the night of Thursday Dec. 10th, which means there is 5 1/2 weeks to fill our homes with festive Chanukah crafts, so lets do it! I’ll admit, with two family birthdays in the family during chanukah, I have that extra push to take it over the top, so stay tuned for what is…

A Fun Graffiti Ski Hat Holiday Craft Idea
After creating my DIY ugly holiday sweater gift card craft, I realized that I ought to try creating some other cozy winter wardrobe items using the same technique, and since my experiment was a success, I now present you with my DIY Graffiti Ski Hat holiday gift card that can certainly double as holiday decor, a gift tag, or a fun craft project to do with the whole family!

A Whimsical Cow Wearing A Crocheted Bobble Sweater Painting
Meet my colorful mixed media cow in a crocheted bobble stitch sweater, she has surely put a smile on your face? Cow portraits have been popular for quite a few years I believe, and I can understand it, there is just something about cows that well, makes you feel connected to the farm and nature, and maybe even childhood? While this is the first mixed media cow portrait I’ve even painted I have to say, I think there are more in my future, as surprise surprise I’m actually happy with how she turned out, and happy that my rooster painting now has a barnyard friend! I will admit however that…
