Today I placed an order for new business cards (two different designs) and I am beyond happy with how they turned out! I love the idea of giving out a small piece of art in the form of a business card so people have a little keepsake to take with them. But that’s not all… I also finally did something I’ve been waiting a long time for~I ordered prints with gold foiling! ✨ I’ve been searching for the right provider forever with no luck, and today, while ordering my cards, I discovered they also offer gold foil printing on postcards in a great size. So I took the leap and ordered 25 pieces for a limited print run! I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am to finally check this goal off my list. This feels like such a big milestone for me, and I cannot wait to see them in person. I’ll definitely share another post when they arrive~can’t wait to show you all! What art goals are you currently working toward? How long have they been sitting on your “waiting list”? And what steps are you planning to take to finally bring them to life? I’d love to hear what you’re working toward and what’s helping you move the needle.

Once the holidays wrap up, we ease into what we call Peace Week in our household—the calm after the storm. It’s a time to slow down, enjoy the quiet, and finally tend to the things that may have been sitting on the back burner. What have you been putting off during the holiday rush, and what are you ready to dive back into now? Whether it’s organizing your space, starting new artwork, revisiting an unfinished project, or even settling into some well-earned gaming time, I'd love to hear what your version of Peace Week looks like.☮️

The cute coloring books finally came in and I will start on the naughty kitty one. I’m super excited to continue using the markers I have and find what I like! I’ve attached a photo of a page I did last week that I received as a gag gift and thoroughly enjoyed coloring it. Since the set of colors I have are pastel it lightened the overall image! I need to work more on skin tones especially on top of getting used to the markers! The Ohuhu set for skin tones I have are double ended with a fine and broad tip. I’m starting to prefer the brush tip that the pastel colors come in because I struggled mixing the colors together. Unfortunately the book wasn’t made for markers and I tried to fix my mistake with a colorless blender marker but it may have messed it up a bit more. Funny enough I’m very proud of how the water bottle/soda turned out 😆 since I feel it blended well with the other colors I chose.

I saw this and felt like a lot of us could relate. Having to pivot isnt always easy, but it is never actually a mistake.
