I absolutely love capturing all types of moments during my times of travel, day trips or just because. :) This blog is all about having a creative outlet for all of my creative inspirations and aspirations.

My Element

Anything having to do w/ the arts is where I can be in my element. From sketching, to photographing, to pottery and painting, to graphic design... etc. etc. etc. ♥

What type of camera do you use?

I use the best kind of camera. The one that I have with me at the moment the photo is taken. It could be my Samsung Galaxy cell phone or my Nikon D40 or D90 or heck... even your phone! :)

Cuties!!

Yay! I got another snail mail surprise last night: Bogus Recycled Rough Sketch by Bee Paper. :) Thanks to Karen Blados for the info on where to purchase the sketchbook. Found HERE. Ok ok... so not so much of a surprise since I placed the order, but nonetheless, it was a warm fuzzy moment.

I did "borrow" Karen Blado's drawing style on my first test run to see if I could pull it off as well as she does. I think I got pretty darned close using my son's Twistables Color Pencils. LOL This just means I'm going to have to dig out my color pencils from storage and go to town on this new paper.

Downside:
  • The sketch pad isn't the size of a Moleskine.
  • I press too hard with color pencil so I decided to tear out the sheet from the sketch pad before drawing (which means loose papers flowing). Why? Because then you leave an embossed pencil drawing/ghost drawing on the sheet(s) underneath.

Brightside:
  • I can make my own art journal with the new sketch collection by folding each sheet in half.
  • Ordering from DickBlick from the comfort of my own home. lol
  • Devouring the Cuties was part of the fun!

This is gorgeous! I didn't know twistables could give this snappy color ... I'm off in search of the Punks'. And thanks for the shout out, too. I'm honored.

Sometimes I have to use whatever I can find to test things. Last night it was my son's Crayola drawing tools. Ha ha ha! Thanks for posting where you bought your sketch pad. I love it! I bought 3! :D
