Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween has always been, and will always be, my favorite holiday of the year. I love that my birthday is all about me and my life's progress, I adore the eccentricities I've grown attached to celebrating on Flag Day, and the spirit that Christmas exudes isn't...

Halloween Street Art

Halloween Street Art

Halloween is a good opportunity for some themed street art! I started with a simple orange and (poofy) black yarnbomb that I installed on a speed limit sign. It was the closest I'd ever been to getting stopped by a cop while doing an installation (he slowed the car...

Get Messy Art Journal: Gratitude

Get Messy Art Journal: Gratitude

This month's Get Messy prompt is about gratitude. What am I grateful for? I thought about it, and my answer is vast. I'm grateful for thousands of things. For easy access to craft supplies. For open mouth kisses. For being alive. But today I'm grateful for my ability...

Get Messy Art Journal

Get Messy Art Journal

My pages from last week weren't exactly my favorite, but I really enjoyed the discussion that sparked in the comments on fear. Did you stop by and say what you're scared of? It's actually kind of freeing. This week I have a two page spread for you where the only theme...

Ask Uncustomary

Ask Uncustomary

Sure, I've got a page with the answers to my FAQ, but I thought maybe I'd take it to the next level. What do you want to know? You can ask me whatever you want, and here's the best part: you can ask anonymously. Use the Poll Junkie forum and I won't know who asked it....
