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. </p><p>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:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNZpIr1wMxcG_wvFW7_jHAOM4YFqiiDXITN4x9q2kZDXwGVdMZALPX7xAc5jNcs_AwGQCwHuMkTrlmoDcL3wxoFZDCqqEFFgqH1a19AWD59pDc1u_KS1IJN_qLv7WlliIMmgK/s2048/3A215A95-881D-433F-B13E-97CBC36BC936.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNZpIr1wMxcG_wvFW7_jHAOM4YFqiiDXITN4x9q2kZDXwGVdMZALPX7xAc5jNcs_AwGQCwHuMkTrlmoDcL3wxoFZDCqqEFFgqH1a19AWD59pDc1u_KS1IJN_qLv7WlliIMmgK/s320/3A215A95-881D-433F-B13E-97CBC36BC936.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGy6kPQbRzeZ0_MxSqtcJHqMa3aaXBssD2zGSgyTSYpZ7lLbmK200MI8c2hk76HjZmAj9l09KazEYYBC-k8w3zx49fFQoq0Ltp86s_S6oD7t8i7XEAFI0C-5fiCVtzoMofCXC/s2048/8C378FCA-6648-41D8-9CBF-3943FC88F876.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGy6kPQbRzeZ0_MxSqtcJHqMa3aaXBssD2zGSgyTSYpZ7lLbmK200MI8c2hk76HjZmAj9l09KazEYYBC-k8w3zx49fFQoq0Ltp86s_S6oD7t8i7XEAFI0C-5fiCVtzoMofCXC/s320/8C378FCA-6648-41D8-9CBF-3943FC88F876.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP7vy9TNUG-YnhcfyDumy_gih4Zl2mdgIB4RujXOOM9n6wwiXAKm6PIGAR9IfM9fFFF3cbD6JwXVtSfnbZTdSsQsWYE6AuE3tR1RnTaOcNJvVnO-aMo5zADiwCiAIZS0lvjDEG/s1080/A8C5C12D-4421-42BB-B48C-2E5108FE451E.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP7vy9TNUG-YnhcfyDumy_gih4Zl2mdgIB4RujXOOM9n6wwiXAKm6PIGAR9IfM9fFFF3cbD6JwXVtSfnbZTdSsQsWYE6AuE3tR1RnTaOcNJvVnO-aMo5zADiwCiAIZS0lvjDEG/s320/A8C5C12D-4421-42BB-B48C-2E5108FE451E.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p>I have slowed down a lot creative-wise and I also have a part time job now.

Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
Just wanted to let you know that I added some items to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/OilnWineCreations/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>! Here is a preview of the items that I put up. It is a set of printable art.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/522175573/my-hope-is-in-you-pansy-watercolor?ref=shop_home_active_4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRqenyq726-2CKNGVYhOk6BJUnw6YDkK9ynfPHlJM5XAfN9_HOckF5BJDLL00az_LqKF1_swtA3-4YcnqyPyAIje7YFOQ3uWAAeyoIgLS9W-nd4aaaken5IPOZqbj9Ao1va95N/s400/IMG_0244.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the original one I did. It is a 12X12" printable digital file. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">You can buy this one by itself and just frame it :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
***IMPORTANT***</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need a graphic editing software like Photoshop (preferred) to be able to edit or resize these products. You will need to have some basic knowledge of how to edit these in the graphic application of your choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is the same artwork, however, I cut out a window</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you could either add a photo underneath this layer in Photoshop,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or you could write your own title or name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Customize it however you want! This is in .PNG format. </div>

I know, some of you are thinking, long time no C! Yes, I'm back. But this time, I am posting my new passion: my art and calligraphy. I've started learning lettering, calligraphy and also pencil drawing (my new love!) So... here are a few of the things I've done. I am slowly putting together my Etsy store, but for now, here are a few of my latest works.<br />
<br />
I do custom calligraphy and lettering. Here are some of them.<br />

What it is</span></h3>

Have you heard of Kombucha, the beverage the ancient Chinese called the “Immortal Health Elixir?” It’s been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like preventing and fighting cancer, arthritis, and other degenerative diseases. Made from sweetened tea that’s been fermented by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (a SCOBY, a.k.a. “mother” because of its ability to reproduce, or “mushroom” because of its appearance), Kombucha didn’t gain prominence in the West until recently.<br />
<br />
In the first half of the 20th century, extensive scientific research was done on Kombucha’s health benefits in Russia and Germany, mostly because of a push to find a cure for rising cancer rates. Russian scientists discovered that entire regions of their vast country were seemingly immune to cancer and hypothesized that the kombucha, called “tea kvass” there, was the cause. So, they began a series of experiments which not only verified the hypothesis, but began to pinpoint exactly what it is within kombucha which was so beneficial.

<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, I want to apologize for being away so long! But as you know, life happens! And it's been amazing. I love doing the jewelry, but one day I just started crocheting, mostly hats for me for when I have those "bad hair days." I really need to get a model, but since I'm it, that's what you get lol!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Then it all began. I made some crocheted owl hats for my grandkids. As I was showing them on FB and Instagram, people started asking me to make them for me; how much did I charge, etc. So word of mouth spread and I started making all kinds of hats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, you can see that I've been busy. I love my new "job." I stay at home, do my household chores and work on my crafts, and I'm happy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you would like me to make you a hat, please email me at oilnwine at gmail dot com.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If they are hats for children, I need the size and contrasting color for the owl hats.</div>

Hey I finally got some time to work on something new. My mom gave me these shells (we call them mata bia, Indonesian for eye shell), years ago to make earrings out of and I've been wracking my brain on how to put them together. I thought about wire-wrapping, but I finally just went looking for a tutorial on how to make a beaded bezel. You can find the tutorial <a href="http://bit.ly/SMNiBz" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
