Just a couple days till I host the ‘Seaside Blends’ workshop, but I’m always so busy with creating things that I never get around to do enough marketing.

So, quite often I’ll be hosting a workshop with only 3 or 4 viewers, and at times there has even been none, but I still went through it all as if someone was watching ¯\_()_/¯

Even after workshops are complete I keep the videos, and event posters available as studio content for anyone to go back to and participate whenever they wish.

..but I’m no marketing expert. I ask for tips for that!

So instead of sharing the info for the workshop this weekend be sure to checkout the workshop coming up next week!

I’m making zines! Event info can be found here, https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/113006942808

Go with the flow…

Oh, the joys of painting with a toddler. As I finish one part, and get ready to move to the next like a blink of the eye… tiny little 3 inch hands squishing paint in the middle of it all!

Yay!

So.. ok.. looks like I’m doing another layer!

..but as she starts to emerge I’m kind of happy with how she looks. She’s really starting to get that “head above the water” feel to her.

Can’t wait to see how she decides to end up. My paintings always seem to have a plan of their own.

Like a charm!

So glad that ink still worked, because now I have another workshop coming up!

Keep in mind that all these workshops are still available in the studio for members to participate in at any time as long as they have a studio pass 🙂

Almost a dozen so far… Be sure to check the event posters for a list of materials to collect.

Hope to have you join me! More info for this event can be found on Eventbrite at, https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/113141110106

What to do with all these seashells…

We’ve collected so many beach treasures from our adventures with our son that I wanted to craft something to hang up and enjoy them all.

Turned out so pretty that I decided to turn it into a workshop for others to enjoy too!

Be sure to check the event poster for a list of materials to collect if you wish to participate. More info on Eventbrite at, https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/113010064144

Blog, Updates

Introducing my blog page!

I’ve been meaning to add this for a while, but there’s been so much to catch up on that starting a blog hasn’t exactly been at the top of my priorities.

However, it does make a great spot to post shop updates, share news about events, and things I may be up to.

So… Tada!…. Here it is. A new page for a my blog 🙂

Be sure to check back in for recent listings, and more posts as I get a chance to share them.
