it be like that sometimes 🤷🏽‍♀️

sometimes you try something and it doesn’t work out! this was my second try at pottery. I doubt I’ll try it again and I’m okay with that 😌 I’ve got other interests and I have a newfound respect for the ceramic artists out there!

sharing the failures and messy middles of crafts because it’s allll part of the process!

I ran out of yarn for this project 🥸 v sad about it, I just have to get off my butt and go get more. but also I have until August to finish soooo there’s no hurry right? 😅

(this is how a WIP project pile grows…)

dipping my toes into the world of beads 🙈

followed a video tutorial for the daisies, then lots of trial and error for the sunflowers. so proud of these! and as you can see, they are cat approved 🐱🐈‍⬛👍🏽

my sister helped with a lot of my initial questions + sourcing materials, which was sooo helpful. I really didn’t plan to get into this hobby… it just looked so fun… and dainty 🥺

it’s been cool to make these flowers with both yarn, macrame cord, and finally beads. different vibes, different challenges!

💡easy art journal exercise: loopy scribbles

doodle continuous little loops from one edge to another across the page. let the repetitiveness and smooth glide of the marker be meditative. make them inconsistent. do it however you feel like!

this one of my go-tos when I don’t know what else to do but I wanna make something. it’s usually a kick off to something bigger. I can’t wait to see how this spread turns out when I have more capacity to create!

it’s also a cool way to take stock of what markers you have 😎
