Tiffany & Co Gift Box Inspired Wall Art- Base Painting
Hi everyone! Today, I will be continuing my post series about how I made a Tiffany & Co gift box inspired wall art. I already talk about why I wanted to make this and my sketch in a previous post here. For this post, I wanted to focus on the base painting of the box. The painting wasn’t difficult, but I do have a few regrets about how I went about painting the canvas.

Tiffany & Co Gift Box Inspired Wall Art- Sketching and Paint Choices
Hi everyone! For many years, I wanted to own canvases with illustrations of luxury fashion items. I own some from places like Hobby Lobby, but there were a few I liked yet never purchased and own. One of them is of a Tiffany & Co gift box. Recently, I decided to search for a canvas again. I didn’t anticipate purchasing one, but I did want to know how much they cost compared to what they cost a few years ago. After my research, I didn’t like the prices of the canvases nor did I like the designs or the size of the canvases. After dwelling on this, I decided to…

Some Thoughts on JoAnn Stores and Their Most Recent Bankruptcy Filing
Hi everyone! I don’t normally talk about stores or brands and their business dealings, but I feel like I need to talk about JoAnn’s most recent bankruptcy filing. In 2024, JoAnn filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I used to mention the JoAnn store many times in my sewing posts, but I stopped because I started to not shop there for fabric or DIY supplies. There were several reasons for this, but one of them is because the closest store to where I live became to hard to me to travel to. Despite my slowing interest in shopping at JoAnn, I also didn’t like the fabric selection they had. The quality…

Sketchtober Travel Themed Art Prompts
Hi everyone! If you have been following this blog for years, every year for many years I publish a post featuring new Sketchtober (Or Inktober) art prompts. If you never heard of Sketchtober or Inkotber, it is a hashtag used on social media where artists sketch, or draw in ink, something new for each day of October. This is meant to be an artist exercise. I used to participate in Inktober, but my life has become too busy over the years for me to participate. No matter if I am participating in Sketchtober, Inktober, or not, I like to write posts with 31 art prompts. This year, I struggled to come…

I tried to include all the highlights of November in the United States, including Thanksgiving, fall, and the beginning of Christmas season.

31 Fall Themed Art Prompts
Hi everyone! When I worked on a list of art prompts for my Inktober/Sketchtober post for this year, I began to think of other ideas that would be great for a themed list! After some work, I created a fall themed art prompts list. This fall themed list focuses on fall themed ideas only. Halloween oriented ideas will have their own list. This list is not the only themed list I will be posting this week for Inktober/Sketchtober, so if you don’t like this art prompt list, then my other lists may interest you! I hope you are inspired!

2023 Inktober Art Prompts
Hi everyone! It’s almost October, which means many artists are partaking in Inktober (Or Sketchtober, which I prefer to do). If you never heard of either, Sketchtober is an artistic exercise in which someone sketches a new subject for 31 days. Inktober is the same as Sketchtober, but artist must use ink based art tools. As the names would suggest, this happens every October. I used to write a list of Inktober art prompts, but I took a year off due to a lack of ideas and inspiration. This year I decided to revive my old tradition of creating a new list of art prompts! This year, I tried to…

Quinceanera Sketch from a Pexels Stock Photograph Number 1
Hi everyone! A few months ago, I decided to sketch some more stock photographs from Pexels. I like to find stock photographs for my lifestyle blog on Pexels, but I also found many photographs I want to sketch as well. On a whim, I decided to search for princess, wedding, or quniceanera photographs I could sketch. In my quniceanera sketch search, I found a series of photographs of a beautiful young woman in a red dress. I really love the way she was photographed, so I decided to sketch some of the photographs. Two of my sketches turned out well, but both are really rough. Yet, I really like the…
