Whimsical Botanical Doodle With Color And Tiny Birds!
Right about now is a great time to take a minute and sketch or doodle something that says spring! And what could be more spring than botanicals and mama bird feeding her baby? My instagram followers (follow me here) loved this illustration, so I thought I’d share it with you, my dear blog readers! I am enjoying filling up my A4 sketchbook, though I’ll admit I haven’t added much lately as I’ve been working primarily with oil pastels that I’d have to then tape into the sketchbook and protect with a piece of tracing paper. And that sketchbook is already busting at the seams as I used many of the…

You’ve decided to start a business, or maybe you have a business that you’d like to grow? Wonderful! Owning your own business has so many positive aspects, but it does generally mean wearing tons of hats, and making decisions you may not be comfortable making.

If you are a creative person like myself, the business aspects can be even more daunting, but if you start to use some of your creativity to develop an advertising and marketing plan for your brand or service, it…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday, thanks so much for joining me here! Spring has arrived in Northern Israel, with wild flowers blooming everywhere, so while there is so much Passover prep to do, I just want to go walk in the meadow! Passover is in just two weeks, so we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work, and fortunately I’ve got a few teens at home to really help, phew. I have been exploring creating “paintings” with oil pastel, and on small pieces of paper, 5″ x 7″, so hopefully I will be able to keep that up at least during the intenstive spring cleaning/passover preparations about…

DIY Paper Vase For Spring Makes An Amazing Gift!
When it comes to making a DIY paper vase, there are literally so many ways to go, though for me, the idea of using not successful artwork is a lightbulb moment that happened one evening. I was going to use an abstract pattern to create a vase, and in the same pile as that absract pattern was this sweet landscape that I liked, but didn’t love. As a vase however, it is fabulous! And friends, when you are in the groove of making lots of art, a way to use up anything you wouldn’t want to see on someone else’s wall is like gold! Even when painting on paper the…

DIY Cardboard Graffiti Vase For Spring!
Now that I have a few fun DIY cereal box vases which I think will be fun for Passover, maybe I can get started with the cleaning. Well, not just yet, I need to make some more! The idea of whipping up an artful vase using cereal box cardboard (or heavy weight paper) is just so delighful that you'll want to give this a try. This is a great idea for budget centerpieces, or for making a huge decorative vase for a desert table or buffet, and the possibilities are endless. Choose to do a cardboard vase with drips and splatters or go for a something simple and colorful, or…

How to Make Your Home the Epitome of Minimalism
With Passover coming in less than three weeks, and our yearly top to bottom home cleaning and organizing just getting started, the idea of a home designed according to the minimalistic style sure sounds amazing right about now. Imagine a home that has only the items you really use and need, and lots of physical space to breath and visual space to relax. This may not be realstic or even ideal for some, though personally it sounds like a great idea for my dream second home on the water! Whether or not minimalism is your cup of tea, it might be something to consider, at least in a room or…
