My First Time Using a Silk Screen on Clay
I’ve been sitting on this post for months, but I figure it’s time to let her rip and share my thoughts with you. I picked up a Boho Screen Printing Kit by Craft Smart from my local Michaels for $14.99 (prices are subject to change, and this is not a sponsored post). The kit includes…

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 – Everything You Need to Start (Part 1)
The last 8 months have been a major learning curve for me. I picked up not one, but two serious new hobbies, and my house is strewn with half-complete projects. Send coffee. 🤣 Thankfully, my wonderful friend taught me how to work with polymer clay and set me up with some of the basics to…

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…

Daughter of Smoke & Bone Trilogy – Book review
It’s only because of my fabulous book-recommending genius of a friend, Tallulah, that I even glanced in the direction of Daughter of Smoke & Bone. The Smoke & Bone covers do nothing for me. In fact, if I’m being totally honest, I despise these covers. Tallulah compares the different covers over on her blog, if…

Warcross – Book Review
About a year ago, my cousin sent me a series of texts telling me I have to read this book NOW. She knows the kinds of books I like, so I knew I’d read anything that came with her recommendation. Only, I didn’t read the book last year. We were amid another big move (yes,…

The Lie Tree – Book Review
I’ve been sharing many reviews from those books randomly picked at the library. I’ve honestly had pretty fabulous luck when it comes to choosing a book by its cover. Which is great, you know? It means exposure to authors I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. The Lie Tree is one of those books by one of…

Fawkes – Book Review
I’ve heard only good things about Nadine Brandes‘s writing, so I bought a copy of Fawkes when I found it on sale. This isn’t my usual genre–I don’t typically read historical fantasy. Yet, something about the familiarity of the story of Guy Fawkes appealed to me. I call it historical fantasy because this book includes…

Rise – Book Review
This was probably one of my most anticipated sequels of 2019. I picked up Rule from the library earlier this year, and really loved getting to know Zofi, Akeylah, and Ren. I couldn’t wait to read how their stories ended. The Blurb Sisters Akeylah, Ren, and Zofi are all a step closer to their dying…
