hair quickie
I dyed my hair a dark, dark brown (got sick of the inches of roots from when I dyed my hair pink and it faded and faded more and I dyed it a color that did a little but not really and of course not the roots and faded more, haha good story.) and then [...]
coloring book ATCs
I did my first ATCs on Swap-bot. ATCs are artist trading cards and you basically umm.. trade them. They are done on 2.5×3.5in. cards of about cardstock thickness or more (the size to fit in a typical trading card sleeve). You can buy packs of ATC blanks at Michael’s on bristol, watercolor, acrylic paper, or [...]
Sketchy Thursday
Where I pull something out of my sketchbook and share it.. could be an actual sketch or a doodle or use paint or whatever and it could be good or it could suck, yay for gambling!
vintage tables
I never posted my “new” kitchen table! I love this table so much and my husband doesn’t but I am working on changing his mind about it. I will win out. He doesn’t like the gold trim, but I kinda have to say that’s a necessary part of what I like the best about it, [...]

how i make my pictures look like this
A few people have asked me recently how I get my pictures to look the way they do, so I thought I’d write a quick post. First off, if you are not familiar with lomography, it might be useful to Google it or check out this site. Most of the pictures I take are lomo [...]
weekend in pics
On Saturday, husband and I set out to go to the park, lay out a blanket and read/sketch, and ended up in Baltimore instead. We explored Mt. Vernon, took St. Paul/Calvert from Inner Harbor to up past John Hopkins and looked at all the rowhomes and how they change in there. I love “The Painted [...]

half space
