Stepping into the world as an artist has been a new experience for this wife and three-time mom. During the week I spend my days working in my sketchbook, thinking about new compositions for projects I have been planning for a while, working on the Elephant, and writing blogs and reviews, sometimes into the late …
I am an oddball. And I am proud of it! It makes me who I am in so many ways as an artist, spiritually, and as a person in normal society. What makes me an oddball? Besides my ADHD, my love and passion for the Arts and Music, my INCREDIBLE, goofy family, and my remarkably …
I am constantly looking for a bag that will hold my supplies on the go and will still be functional in my everyday life. I am not the purse-carrying type of woman and I love a bag that will hold my sketchbook and pencils that I carry everywhere I go, along with my wallet and …

And then there is The One. My aunt and uncle came into my grandma’s …
This is a great set for the price. The pouch is a nice, durable woolly fabric with a zipper. The blending stumps are durable and the pencil extender is of quality, however, I do not recommend using the “kneadable eraser.” Upon opening the plastic, the thing clung to my fingers like sticky-tac, and we were …
