What is Gold Leaf

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is about gold leaf. First off, the gold leaf I use isn't actual gold, though those who use gold leaf in cuisine, use real gold leaf. Gold leaf is a very, very thin leaflet of substance. It is so thinly layered that each sheet falls a part easily....

First of all, May the Forth Be With You!!! (haha)

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday question is a spiritual one. Hopefully you won't be too shy to not answer. It's a funny thing as most people don't like talking about it. "What happens after we die?" As for me, I believe I am a spirit... a spiritual bei...

Last Wednesday I went to the Dentist Specialist and I had surgery on a tooth. Like I've said before, they have mastered the pain management in dentistry, but have yet to master the sound (of the drills). It was interesting to hear when the drill met bone in my surgery! Needless to say, all went well...

#TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is all about me sharing art supplies and techniques with you. Today I am sharing gesso. Gesso comes in a variety of colours; gesso is clear, white and black. You can add colour to the white or clear, and create a base with the colour you want. Gesso is used as a base for y...

Today is #FridayFinds . Today's special find comes from Sephora, and its Sephora Collection. It is the Rouge Lacquer Long-Lasting Lipstick, It is similar to a few high-end lipsticks that I have used. It is a lot like them in the way it feels on the lips (Soft & creamy). I love that they are long-las...

Today is a rainy #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques , and here I am inside and feeling cozy. Tomorrow is a trip into the city, as I have a little dental surgery. Don't worry all is fine. I am so fortunate that I am getting this attended to (compared to have-not countries).

Today I want to share with you fl...

On this #FridayFinds we come upon something artsy; it is a magazine called Feel Free, I didn't know what the magazine was about. I saw the hand-lettered font in its title and loved it. As I picked the magazine up from the array of magazines, I truly did not know what a unique magazine I had in my ha...

For today's #WednesdayWin it comes down to the basics: food...but in a specialty kinda way. So the specialty of the food is Japanese. It is special because I live in Athabasca and there aren't any Japanese restaurants, as well as because I haven't had a roll in quite a long time! Needless today I am...

For #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques we will be looking at Fluid Acrylics. The earliest recorded artist to use paint pouring techniques was David Alfaro Siqueiros in the 1930's. Famous abstract artist, but not famous at the time, Jackson Pollack was a student of David Siqueiros. Knowing this connection, y...

Today's #FridayFinds is not something you can touch or see but it is something that is important. I did something new...in aims to push myself, in order to grow as a person. Today I was interviewed by Raimonda Jankunaite for the possibility to be one of 30 speakers at the amazing event called Women ...

Today's #WednesdayWins took me by surprise! I was touched by the thoughtfulness of it all. And it actually came into my possession today!!

Teddy is my grand niece who lives in the United Kingdom, far away from us; we enjoy the videos, that her dad sends to his dad (my brother), of her and her young...

For #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques I found this tool that I was using quite regularly last year. It was iMovie. iMovie is a wonderful tool to use to create videos with; I used it to create videos for my online course "My World Rocks!" To prepare me, I took a "How to use iMovie" course from Udemy; I was ...
