My new obsession

 Aloha everyone,

So sorry that I haven’t been updated in a while. Well, lot has happened since my last post. I quit my part-time job and was officially done at the end of March. I thought I would have more time to tackle things especially my art, but I ended up cleaning out cabinets and rooms I haven’t cleaned in a long time! 

I did start on a new art journey: I have been exploring pastels! I love them so much! At first I was a little apprehensive and it took me a while to figure out how to use them. So here are a few pieces I have been working on. 

I am having such a wonderful time learning pastels. They are so different from colored pencils. 

I am also working on a pet portrait which I will share when I’m done,

Have a great day and until next time!

Aloha everyone and long time no see! My my, it has been 3 whole years! 

So a lot has happened, I don’t even know where to begin. But, all in all, I’m still creating art and I will post some recent pieces. I’ve also started to learn zentangles. If you are not familiar with them, they are so cool! It’s a type of doodling that’s done on square, triangle or round pieces. I mostly stick with the square and the nice thing is, it doesn’t have to be perfect, so no need to stress! Here are a few zentangles I’ve done. For more information, go to https://zentangle.com/ 

My life has been a bit upside down lately. But I’m holding on to Jesus, my anchor! Hope you are all doing well! I’ll be back more regularly now since I quit my job! Woohoo! See you all soon!

Aloha everyone! Long time no C! Well, lots of stuff has happened between the last post and today. Just a quick note. I do not have the website anymore. I did keep the domain name but it was just too cumbersome to keep adding to it. I think this will be a lot easier. 

Right now I am not scrapbooking anymore, although I really should. I miss it! Instead, I am now doing colored pencil drawing, like pet and people portraits. I also doodle quite a lot on my Procreate using my iPad and Apple Pencil. It’s so fun! Here are a few things I have done on my iPad:

I have slowed down a lot creative-wise and I also have a part time job now. I love my job because it keeps me active. I still have my Etsy store. Mostly GoodNotes planners and journals. I will post again in the next few days... More to come! Ciao!!

Updates of my art

Here are some of my latest challenges and art.

At DND (Dawn Nicole Designs) we are doing a year of color. 

This is the color persimmon.

Limerick. I didn't know that a limerick was similar to a poem.

Interesting. 

This was for two challenges. One was simply "Shamrock" 

for the Dawn Nicole Designs challenge and the Happy Lettering Challenge which was featured on their blog!! Check it out:

And finally, here is the updated version of my pencil portrait of "Davy Baby."

Thanks for looking :)

Pot o' Gold

This is my contribution to the Happy Lettering Challenge for today. I did this late last night. Done in watercolor.

Update on my drawing of David

I've been working on a drawing of my son David when he was about 8 months old. I thought I was done, but now I think not. 🙄.

Here is what I've got so far.

 

Almost done. So here is a video I made :)
