Winter Break: copic tutorial

Hello friends,

I have always loved images by Krista Smith.  I thought I would take some of my isolation time to color up this cutie on the beach.   I had a fun sentiment from Taylored Expressions, so I covered up the beach sign and added my own little touch.

I had a little bit of a hard time keeping my hand out of the way, but you can see the process of coloring here (video will only play on youtube and blog; not email)

Hello, Hello!

It is rare, but sometimes I do put my copics away to play with my colored pencils.  I love my prismacolor pencils.  I should get them out more.   One of my favorite things to do is use them on kraft cardstock.  I feel the like the pencils almost glow.    What are your favorite coloring mediums?

No copics today-- I used prismacolor pencils

Hi there!

We have survived two weeks of being in quarantine! I know we still have a bunch more isolation time ahead of us.  I'm doing my best to make the best of it.   I spent the last few days rearranging the furniture in my craft room.  It has been on my "to do" list for a long time.    I still have a lot of work to do, but the furniture/cabinets are all in the right place.   That is a huge step forward.  What projects have you been working on?

I made this card about a month ago, but it got lost in the shuffle.  Fruit stamp sets are really common, but veggies are often overlooked.   I was so excited to see this veggie set by Taylored Expressions.
