If you haven’t already, check out Eni Oken as a lot of the inspiration and lessons I’ve learned from are there. One of these days, I hope to do her club or get in on her more detailed tutorials.

I also have my newly released cross stitch pattern up on PatternsOnline.com. It’s titled Fire Elemental Dragon and is a handsome little fella.

Find him here

I would love to see him all stitched up. Look for more designs upcoming! I also have several there from over the years.

Patreon – October 2017 Design Packet

There were 9 designs for October.

I caught up on the Zodiac and had Virgo and Libra both released.

I also had a couple more Halloween images with The Bride and The Creature.

Mandalas were Seadragon Mandala, Floral Cats (more square than a mandala though) and Dragonettes mandala. I’m aware that mandala in the coloring world is something entirely different than in the actual meaning of Mandala…

Fantastic Drawing Surfaces for Color Pencil Artists

I totally did not know that there was sandpaper that could be used for art. I received a set of water soluble graphite pencils from my friend, Tamara. I’m both excited and nervous to try these out. I mostly used mixed media paper by Canson.  I’m going to scan in this drawing and then go back over it with the new pencils. Wish me luck!

Twitch is a service that allows artists and gamers to livestream videos. I mostly watch other artists on mine. I hadn’t used it because getting music for twitch meant listening to some horrible music that was anything but relaxing. However, Twitch will block any music I use that is not allowed to be broadcast, so I’m just going to enjoy drawing and painting.

I am going to start using my Twitch…

New Merchandise and Paintings

I’m touching base with my roots a bit. I haven’t felt up to watercolor painting so worked on this over several days.  I also put it up on some Redbubble goodies for everyone.  I’m going to make some cute labels with it as well. Planning out a lot of future stuff.

Truth be told, I just haven’t felt well at all.  Most of my fans know I have migraines and fibromyalgia. I am getting fibro flares,…

I’m a wee behind, aren’t I?

Too Excited, but I Can’t Wait to Add More

Stickers, yo! So happy.  I spent my evening distracting myself by sorting out Redbubble. I tried to play with Zazzle as I’ve had a store there since….um…4 years? I’ve made $4.61 there.  I wanted to find new perks and gifts to add for people, so I wanted stickers.

Now I have stickers and a lot more.  Only one little gal so far, and she’s one of my favorites. I need to get my toosh back to painting…
