A couple of days ago I finished a commission to wood-burn hangers for a wedding party. From left to right is the date, name and role in the wedding. I penciled out the numbers and words but did the little ornamental work by the name free handed. Before starting this, I was afraid that the writing would look amateurish since I didn't have a fancy wood-burner but eventually I just didn't think about how it should look and focused on how I can make it look. Its a little confusing, I know, but what I'm trying to explain is that I didn't let the pretty, polished examples on Pinterest intimidate me. I embraced my skill set and tools knowing that I can still make the hangers just as pretty.

For me, I pictured that the pepper and tomato are gossiping about the onion, but that could just be me. Others could look at it just as a still life. Its up for interpretation!

Took this picture last year on the drive home. I thought it was a cool looking sunset with the contrast of the heavy dark clouds. Not a lot to go off her about my process. I just saw the sky and wanted a photo for a keepsake.

If you haven't seen any of these movies I highly recommend them. If you are looking for a quick watch, I don't recommend Ben Hur. Its about four hours long but totally worth the watch!

This summer I have picked up face painting which is a lot of fun. My painting skills have definitely improved because of this. Th...
