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…

Gorgeous And Artful Painted Paper Collage For Every Skill Level
As I have mentioned I have begun to dip my big toe into the world of Instagram, from my computer that is, and in just the smallish community of 99.9% female artists and illustrators where I’m currently hanging out, I’ve already found so many inspiring artists unknown to me previously, because well, they’ve been promoting themselves on instagram! One such artist is Este Macleod, who has a wonderful, truly artful style, and best of all, a sense of creativity, and a love for teaching and encouraging creativity that is exceptional. Este loves creating by starting with letters and numbers (right up my alley!), and In her instagram post (you do…

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…

How To Make A DIY Broken Dishes And Tiles Backsplash Mosaic
While I have boxes of broken dishes and tiles waiting to be transformed into a beautiful mosaics, (before my husband tosses the whole lot…..) I have not actually done any mosaic crafts for quite a few years. Fortunately, my good friend Raizel a creative Jewish mom who lives in Jerusalem and witnessed my mosaic madness once upon a time, has created, I believe, a bit of stir in the heavens with her beautiful broken tile and dishes backsplash mosaic. I have a feeling that mosaic is back, so mark my words and start saving bits and bobs to create with! Raizel planned this backsplash mosaic four years ago, and I…
