Have you been seeing all the cool Sharpie promotions on tv? This is really strange. I started my doodle series with Sharpie markers before I knew this was coming. Now, seeing their cool blog and commercials I’m re-inspired. I want to Sharpie the world. But, until I get some bolder tipped markers I’ll just show you want I’ve been up to since my last doodle post.
I’ve wanted to and have tried to incorporate words and sayings into my bead art however, was never quite successful. Now I can use my Sharpie art as that outlet. Classic black and white (and a little gray). You can’t go wrong.
Adding a little color in a striking way. Not my usual interest but that turquoise sure did inspire me to try more. And here is what I’m working on now:
I think I’m getting the hang of it, don’t you think?

Last year (I think) when I was at the Michigan Cabin Retreat my friend Paula had the coolest clogs on. Yes, they were clogs and yes, they were cool. At least I thought so. But Paula always has the coolest artwear. So cool that I even took a picture:
I wanted some. And they also looked like they’d be fun to try on my own. But, being the scaredy cat that I am, I never set out to do something without looking for the right way to do it first. I’m working on that. I have this fear of messing up when doing something new.
With such a lack of spare time, I never got around to doing that although I’ve come across online articles and have seen tv shows that show me how to paint furniture (even upholstered chairs!) and other such items. So, today when one of my google alerts pointed me to a shoe painting tutorial I had to show you. And had to put it here so that I know where it is when I want it.

Uh oh. I’m gettin’ crafty. I can’t help it. Crafty is everywhere. It’s the new black. Felt, flowers, glitter and sequins. It’s getting to me and I’m jumping on the bandwagon. Did I just say that out loud?
Yep. Here I go.
Check this out. Gift boxes made from cereal boxes. Or other cardboard. For all that spare time I have and the need to have some funky packaging at my shows that folds flat.
Sure, I could buy boxes but who wants to do that? I’ll just take my recycling cardboard and create these boxes. Or better yet, I’ll have my mom do it. She’s not crafty but she likes projects and I’m thinking she’s a sucker for a cool package.
I’m going to make mine inside out so people can see the bright colors and also know just how unhealthy we are at breakfast time. Good thing there’s not a pattern for bacon packaging.
Hey, I’m turning green! I think I’m a greenie at heart.
