Woooops!

I recorded a few podcast episodes, stuff happened, and I decided to push back the launch date of the podcast from September 14th to December 1st. I felt relieved that I had more time to figure out podcasting and getting a bunch of episodes recorded.

Then on the morning of September 14th, I woke up to a notification congratulating me that the podcast was live!

Wait! What?!!

For the first time ever, I am pulling back the curtain on how to design, create, digitize and sell greeting cards! I’m super excited about this live workshop because, well, it’s live and I miss teaching in-person workshops,

Watercolor painting can be intimidating and with so much variety of brush, paints, paper, palettes… you get the idea, I’ve decided to create a new resource to help demystify, give you guidance and show you how you can easily get started painting using watercolors.

From the heart. From my personal perspective, and how I’ve decided to show support to the Black Lives Matter movement in the hopes that I can inspire you to do the same. Tuck in, pour yourself a warm cuppa and thank you for your time as you allow me to express myself.

Working from home as a calligrapher is something that I’ve done since 2012. Over the years, I’ve offered a huge variety of services and products to my clients. In this post, I’ve compiled 5 of my favorite calligraphy projects that I recommend you consider selling too!

A few years ago I was working a lot! I was designing for my clients, printing orders from my shops, creating my first few online classes and teaching workshops all over town. Seven days a week was the norm for me, and my husband also travelled a lot for work, which meant I was the kid’s numero uno.

I kept that pace for about a year and then started to feel burnt out!

In this video, I gave you a few options for painting white flowers with watercolor but wanted to share that you can lighten the paint color using more water.

Offering calligraphy as a service and on products was what I was becoming known for. Past customers were referring me, current clients kept coming back for more custom designs and my home based print shop was hopping!

These are seriously my top 5 watercolors to paint with! I can mix every color I need to paint leaves, stems, florals and more! If you are just starting out and are looking for a few tubes of colors that you can get started with, have a look at the ones that I show you in this tutorial!
