Gesso’d and Ready to Paint Again
So, after the third mix of Gesso, I’m ready to paint again! Wahoo! It went from this: To This: And I managed to NOT BOOGER UP the already perfected mermaid. So now, I’m a little stuck on how to start in with the quote again. It’s definitely a case of what I envision in my […]
The Mermaid Flubber
The day has come… to share the EPIC Mermaid Canvas Flubber. 🙂 So, I’ve been cruising along on the creation of this big honkin canvas. And, I have this pretty rockin’ quote that I peeped when I met this lovely young woman. It speaks and I really thought it would be amazing on this canvas. […]
Mermie Canvas Coming to Life
The Mermie canvas is still in progress and getting it to the finish line is taking me longer than I’d hoped. What do you do when you make a colossal mistake in your painting? You get creative and channel your patience. 🙂 Mostly, you channel your patience. I’ll have more details on my flubber tomorrow. […]

I’ve been busy. Crazysauce busy. Who isn’t right? New designs, new artsy pants creating, new product, a whole lotta NEW. I’ve been stepping out and venturing a new course and it occurred to me… I’m just diving in full throttle. And… It’s all good. So, when I saw this quote, it gave me pause and […]
It’s Friday: It’s a Freebie… It’s Pink and Layerlicious… Boom!
I like to make up words. And sing them like rap songs. My rhymes aren’t the shizz, but they induce laughter and interesting stares. So, it’s all good. 🙂 So… yesterday, I took a pic of a PEONY in my yard. Every year, I say I’m going to rip that thing OUT and plant it […]
