Updated Review – Tooli-Art Acrylic Paint Pens
It’s been a year and a half since I published my first impressions on my brand-new Tooli-Art paint pens. Initially, I used the pens daily, but my artmaking pursuits shifted gears to crochet and clay craft, and my paint pens remained undisturbed in their dark drawers for a few months. Then, around July this year,…

Crafting with Polymer Clay – Additional Tools (Part 2)
I’m so excited to continue this little miniseries with you today! We’re going to talk about the additional tools you could use in polymer clay craft. Some of these are things you probably already own, but others are inexpensive purchases that will streamline the creative process. And though I included some of these items with…

Let’s Make – Resin Leaf Charms
My husband is an avid woodworker. He’s always either working on a project or watching woodworking videos on YouTube. This, of course, means I’m also watching, if only from the corner of my eye. And now I find myself obsessed with wood-and-resin furniture. Thanks, Black Forest Wood Co. 😂 I can’t be trusted around power…

My First Experience with a Silicone Clay Mould
I’ve had a few of these on my wish list for quite some time, so I’m stoked to have received a silicone mould (mold in the US) as a part of my birthday haul. On that note, my husband had the really awesome idea to bring me to Michaels and let me pick out all…

First Impressions: Mont Marte Metallic Acrylic Colour
Basically all of my recent paintings feature at least one metallic element. I’m in love with these little pops of brightness in my work and I was curious to see how colours other than gold, silver, and copper would look. But I didn’t want to buy a full-sized tube of each colour before I know…

Review – Tooli-Art Acrylic Paint Pens
It’s been a hot minute since I last did an art supply review, so I figured my new paint pens would be the perfect transition back into this kind of post. Before we officially begin, I’d just like to say this isn’t a sponsored post. All products mentioned below were purchased by me or my…

The Currents Post
Friends, one of my cousins asked me to pick up these currents posts last year sometime, and it just slipped my mind. Sorry, Tanja. Better late than never? Let’s jump right in. For the first time in many, many years, I’m listening to an audiobook. I don’t have anything against audiobooks, really, it’s just that…

Quick Review – Posca Paint Pens
I haven’t been using these pens for that long, but I still wanted to chat about Posca’s Paint Pens. Since I am still a noob, I’ll let you know if my opinions change in the future. My hubs bought me the set of eight, extra fine (0.7mm) Posca paint markers for my birthday last month.…
