This isn’t going to be a post about how I can help you find your signature style, because, I can’t even help myself discover my own signature style/brand. Here’s a little rant I shared on Instagram a few days ago regarding some of my frustration. Maybe you can relate. Not gonna lie, I’m a littleContinue reading “Finding Your Signature Style”

Monday Mood
Looking a little proud today. I do love Payne’s grey. Payne’s grey is named after William Payne, a late 18th-century English painter, who created this color as a neutral tint. Originally it was made up of Prussian blue, yellow ochre, crimson lake (carmine).

Oh My! This purplish, pinkish, rich, velvety color. I hope to get better at mixing up colors that are more accurate to the photos. Practice will help. And a lot of patience. Color mixing has never been one of my favorites.
New Beginnings
Fist of all, I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since my last published post. There have been many posts drafted, yet none worth publishing. But, are any of them really worthy of being published? What’s New We’ve moved. Again. Not just to a new house, but a new state. After being inContinue reading “New Beginnings”
When as Good as it Gets is Good Enough
I can’t believe its been 9 months since my last post. There are two reasons for that. The first reason I won’t go into as it is depressing and dark and not at all interesting. I know, depressing and dark is almost always interesting, but in some cases it is also just predictable and boring.Continue reading “When as Good as it Gets is Good Enough”

I’m not sure exactly what it is saying, some of it is lost in translation, but I think I can make out the gist of it: ‘Ridiculous’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘useless’, ‘pointless’ andContinue reading “Signs Everywhere”
I Have Ways to Make You Talk

First, there was a bird, which I stumbled upon (literally, I tripped right over him) in a thrift store and paid too much for, probablyContinue reading “I Have Ways to Make You Talk”
Bates and Switch
Remember this? He was to be an addition to an altered Altoids tin paying homage to a classic American film. In keeping with the mood of that film though, I realized he should be in black and white, so it was back to the folding board for me. The second time around you think I would’veContinue reading “Bates and Switch”
No Excuses (well, maybe just a few)
Ummmm – excuse me while I sneak in here and pretend I haven’t been missing for the past six months(!). But I do have several good excuses; 1. I opened a brick and mortar shop, which keeps me pretty busy. 2. I’ve had no internet access from that shop, which keeps me off-line most theContinue reading “No Excuses (well, maybe just a few)”
