A couple of weeks ago a new reader emailed me, saying she wanted to paint a fleur de lis and did I have any tips. With Mardi Gras coming up (ok, it’s most likely passed by the time you read this) I thought why not just paint one and show her step-by-step? So I did […]
How To Glitter Wine Goblets
I’ve seen these glittered wine goblets all over the Pinterest and the internet, usually around the holidays. To be honest, I was just going to paint these glasses, not glitter them. But there it is. And you know what? Every time I look at it, I smile. I don’t know why. I’m not what you’d […]

So much so that I’ve scheduled them for every Tuesday night (except for Christmas & New Years Eve, of course.) I’m nowhere near a ‘pro’ or anything, but I do enjoy sharing how to […]
