You guys, I’m so excited to continue my partnership with Arrtx, who kindly sponsored this post. They sent me their 60 Colours Acrylic Marker set to test, and I just can’t wait to tell you more about this product. But first, a disclaimer. The markers were sent to me for free to review, but I…

Freebie – Art Nouveau Colouring Page
I’ve been playing around with Art Nouveau designs. Turns out, my obsession with stained glass trained me for this moment. The techniques I learned from drawing stuff that would work as stained glass translate perfectly to Art Nouveau! So, last week, I reviewed my new Ohuhu Marker paper. This week, I wanted to offer the…

Quick Review – Ohuhu Kamakou Marker Paper
My transformation into an Ohuhu girlie wasn’t gradual. More like one moment, I tried one of their products, and the next, I belonged to them. On that note, this isn’t a sponsored post. All opinions and purchases are my own. I’ve been messing with my alcohol markers for long enough now that I figured it’s…

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…

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.

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…

Easy Notebook Glam-Up
I’m working on a new writing project, so of course I need a notebook. And, instead of giving in to the urge to purchase a new one, I delved into my stash (because all creatives with ADHD have a stash of unused note-taking supplies). I’m so proud of myself, that I might just splurge on…

Freebie – Novel Planning Pages
I’ve been working on a little something on the side, and though it’s nowhere near ready to share publicly, I’m stoked with the progress. So, of course, I couldn’t wait to share a sneak peek with you! I want to offer you these free downloadable planning pages. Two pages are layouts for daily planning, set…

4 Weeks, 4 Paintings – Simple Foliage
Welcome to the final instalment of our 4 Weeks, 4 Paintings mini-series! This week, we’re delving into brush control with simple, flowy florals. The great thing about round watercolour brushes is their versatility. We can achieve thin lines by using only the tip of the brush, and thicken brush strokes by adding additional pressure. We…
