I’m getting back on track with the BYOB (bring your own brush) & Paint classes. First up is this fleur de lis. It’s just like the Mardi Gras fleur de lis painting, only in neutral tones. I wanted to make this a class project because it’s really fun to add dimension with shading and highlights. […]

Paint a 3-D Fleur de Lis

Sweet Cupcake Printables for Your Sweetie
I’m just now realizing that printables are a big deal on other blogs and Pinterest. I’m a bit slow. To be honest, when I see a printable I like, I usually figure I’ll just paint it. And now you see why my blog has the name it does. The other day I saw some cute […]
