I’ve got another denim order to paint and I’m excited. This time around, I’m focusing on building a strong base for each design using textile medium and white acrylic paint. I really want those vibrant colors to pop.

I was all set to marble a canvas when I realized at the last minute I had used all of my pouring medium on a hanger project. It was 8 pm and I was running all over town trying to find more. I checked Five Below, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Walmart and still had no luck.

Marbling might be one of the messiest crafts, right up there with glitter. But despite the mess, you can still have control. It’s all about the technique, especially the tilting.

What makes my crafting process easier? The answer is simple: templates, visuals, and mockups.

As May approaches and the school year comes to a close, I’m getting excited for graduation season. There’s something so special about witnessing the milestones of others and even more rewarding being able to bring their vision of success to life through custom graduation toppers.

A supporter pushed me to try painting on fabric… and I ain’t gonna lie, this project was tedious!

Alexa, play "Google Me Baby" by Teyana Taylor.

What started as a spare cowbell sitting at home turned into a custom piece created for a coworker. I decided to give it a full makeover; priming and repainting. This project is a reminder that creativity often begins with what we already have and doing well by those we love!
