This girl is a blogger in the making and no mistake. My daughter recently started a notebook entitled “Blue, Purple, and Scarlett” in which she is compiling ideas for my blog. Is that cool or what? Guess I can sit back and relax now that I have a project manager. […]

Owl stamp from Tattered Angels.
Moonlight Maiden
I used Derwent Colour Soft pencils and ZIG Millenium pens to draw this maiden in the moonlight. I’m not a big fan of the scary stuff this time of year. In fact, the only witch I’ve ever been fond of is this one. But I do like to draw and […]

It’s funny because we’ve never grown strawberries, let alone made anything that resembles a condiment out of them. But she’s not one to let lack of […]
