Fantasy Creatures Colouring Book Review
I love colouring with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers so much that I picked up the Honolulu B set, too. So, of course, I needed a colouring book to go with my markers. I browsed a bunch of different options on Amazon, and ended up purchasing the Fantasy Creatures colouring book by Phoebe Beck, thinking I’d…

Review – Ohuhu Oahu Alcohol Markers
I’ve never worked with alcohol markers before, and I now know what I’ve been missing. All I can say is that this has become my instant favourite medium. Alcohol markers are so versatile. You can achieve anything from dreamy watercolour-like textures to graphic block shading without effort. But okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. This…

Review – Ohuhu Colour Markers
The artists in my house are avid Jazza fans. So, when he made (another) video about Ohuhu VS Copic markers, my daughter and I just knew we had to try this brand. She purchased a 100-piece set of brush/fine-tipped markers, while I got the alcohol markers. Today, we’ll talk about the 100-piece water-based markers, and…

Stained Glass Dragon Embroidery
If you haven’t claimed last week’s faux stained glass dragon embroidery pattern, no worries! You can still download the design here. Meanwhile, I threaded my darning needle and got to work on the design. I’d initially planned to fill some of the larger areas with my punch needle, but ended up unravelling those bits. I…

Freebie – Stained Glass Dragon Pattern
My recent interest in embroidery led to a needle shoved so deep beneath my fingernail that I legit blacked out. And instead of retiring all pointy objects in my house, I’ve created a new pattern that I intend to embroider. Because why not? I’m obsessed with stained glass. It’s a bit of a thing with…

Let’s Craft – Punch Needle Art
I’ve been eyeballing punch needles for a good while now. Last year, I even purchased a punch needle kit from Michaels, but sadly the kit didn’t include the actual punch needle and the one I bought isn’t big enough to accommodate the yarn. I was thrilled to receive a punch needle kit for Christmas! And,…

Quick and Easy – Watercolour Lightning
Let’s take the technique we learned in last week’s tutorial, Quick and Easy – Watercolour Galaxy, a step further. Lightning! For this tutorial, I used: I prepared the cloudy background using last week’s tutorial and a monochrome palette of greys and black, but the colour palette still doesn’t matter—feel free to use whatever shades speak…

Quick and Easy – Watercolour Galaxy
My go-to things to paint have always included forests and galaxies. Not only are these subject matters welcoming to newbies, but you really can’t make any mistakes in painting them. With the holiday season looming, this is the perfect time to break out the craft supplies and make meaningful gifts for loved ones. For this…

Fly Free-Stained Glass Colouring Book
One of my lifelong goals has been to illustrate colouring books, but it’s the kind of thing we dream about but put off because life’s too busy. Then, in the heart of lockdown, I actually did it. I illustrated a faux stained glass colouring book featuring different birds. I was ecstatic. Goal completed. But then…
