Review – Ohuhu Acrylic Paint Markers
My love of Ohuhu products is no secret. And, just to get it out of the way, this isn’t a sponsored post, but hoo boy, would I jump for joy if Ohuhu ever decided to sponsor me! I thought the alcohol markers would be the pinnacle of my artistic joy (I’ve bought two more sets…

Everything You Need to Know about Gesso
It’s been a hot minute, but I’ve been playing with acrylic paints again. This, of course, means canvas, and that leads me to today’s post. I’m not usually one for following every art rule, so when the art gurus tell me that I must use canvas primers (or whatever other products), my rebellious streak makes…

Simple Yet Striking Notebook Glow-Up
Amid one of the craziest last quarters of the year ever, some genius had the bright idea to make all her holiday gifts. Why? Well. Because ADHD. I crocheted up a storm, painted hobbit doors on coasters, watercoloured hordes of bookmarks, and prettified notebooks. And, can you believe it, I even had the foresight to…

Let’s colour together! To show my appreciation for your ongoing support in my creative endeavours, I offer this free colouring page.

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,…
