Last day in February!! Hard to believe. Soon spring may be peeking around the corner.

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is about collage. Collage is the act of gluing an object to another object. So for example, in the video, I had a thick tube with a cardboard bottom and handmade paper. I ripped ...

I love reading modern prose and poetry books that have to do with us, humans, and our development into our personhood. An example of this is Canada's famed poet Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey. But a few days ago, in Chapters, I found a book by Brianna Wiest named Ceremony.  The cover's title and the aut...

I hope this post finds you well. I am well but seem to be a bit forgetful! Yesterday I drove into the city to go to the dentist for a crown on my tooth. Perhaps it was my tiredness, but i forgot that this morning I had a LIVE Art & Soul Creation time, in my FaceBook group, at 10 am!! D'oh!! Thank go...

For today's #FridayFinds I found Audible! Yes, Im a little late to the game, but now I'm hooked. I love books! And I love reading. Sometimes reading a book isn't the best idea, like when I'm driving, cleaning the house, shovelling the driveway and walk, and so on....but with a click on my Audible ap...

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday has to do with podcasts. My favourite podcast is Denise Duffield-Thomas' one called Chill & Prosper. Chill & Prosper is also the name of one of three of her books; it is about balancing work with life and having the proper mindset, and it also  has wonderful tips and tho...

Today is #WednesdayWins!  I am so grateful for this little addition into my life. In December I bought the 2023 Jen Sincero's You are a Badass desk calendar. There are so many aspects I like about it.

• It reminds me what day it is. (Really!! It was a problem before.)
• i like Jen Sincero's writing

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope this day is a reminder to love yourself and be proud of yourself. I really believe our first love should be ourselves, for it is like putting the oxygen mask on yourself first. We can make a stronger effect on others, if we love ourselves first. And once we take care ...

I love to learn. And the way our brain works fascinates me, and this has to do with today's #FridayFinds. Lately I found in our local grocery store this magazine called Psychology Now. This recent edition is volume 5, and shares about "Rediscover your Optimism," "Mental Health Masterclass," "The Sci...

For today's #WednesdayWins I am thankful for all the fresh food (fruits, vegetables and meat) we get throughout the year. Forty some years ago, that wasn't common; fruits and vegetables were only available in your immediate area and during the season. So fast forward to last night, I had salmon with...

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is all about the mini abstracts I created to accompany my Artist Cards. The mini abstracts are mixed media. I loved playing with collage of rice paper and wrapping paper, and the stencils I used to create a variety of patterns. On top of that, I created it all usin...

On this #ThirdDegreeThursday , we are talking about spirits, ghosts. Some people have stories of their encounters with them. Have you had an experience with them? Was it identifiable as someone or something you knew?  What happened? 

Hey everyone! I hope you’re having a great week so far! Just wa...

Burnishing... "polish by rubbing."  Well it kinda is like that, but we are using pencil crayons, instead of the traditional metal burnishings. What we do is place a lighter colour on top of the base colour, and the act has pressure to it because we are rubbing it into the base colour. So it is the a...
