Quirky Heartmade

I was inspired to use my puffy paint pens to create some fun pictures on colored paper! Me sitting on the couch having craft time! Before I knew it I had created a TON of them! This one kinda looks like a leaf to me! By the way I just created my shop on Etsy!  There's tons of cool stuff there if you wanna check it out. It's quirkyheartmade.etsy.com . Have an awesome day!

Since nature is one of my many muses I decided to upload a couple pictures I've taken throughout the beginning of fall to perhaps inspire others. As summer was dying down, I went to the park with a very dear friend. It was a day full of fun pictures. This was my top favorite, because the flowers reminded me of my grandmother's favorite. To me it was the most amazing picture- the way the bright purple flowers looked upon the rich, brown stump surrounded by the green leaves and shrubs. The sun was hitting it at the perfect angle, too.  I always imagined myself living in a cottage someday so this kind of beauty of the perfect nature shot always makes me smile. This picture, although a little blurry, is another one of my favorites. The leaves seemed to almost twinkle in the water and the tree reminded of one people carve their names into or even an owl or bird or other furry creature would be peaking their head out of. It was just a really quaint and cute little moment

HTML Editor - Full Version I decided to write a post on how I came up with my business name.    Coming up with a business can be difficult. I was racking my brain for months to come up with the perfect name making lists after lists. I was stressing myself out, which made it harder to come up with a name. My first one did not give me the feelings I was hoping for. I wanted something silly, fun, bubbly, passionate, and personal. Something that fit my dreamer personality to a T. My first one seemed more broad-scoped and painterly. I wanted something that made my creations shine! So after months of mind boggling, I took the "homemade" from the name of a craft seller's seminar I had attended (so happy that they inspired me but I was nervous to take the lead I felt it had) and the fact that it was my creation and combined it with the "heartfelt" that I wanted to use, because I make things from the heart. Then I went to work searching for the perfect

I just wanted to show my art. Here's a grouped photo! I will be selling these on Etsy very, very soon. Let me know what your opinion is.

Well unfortunately, I deleted a post while trying to format the html. The main points were that I recently got an important piece of advice. To do only one thing at a time, which although not my style I learned a valuable lesson. To be happy as long as I get one thing done a day in the process of opening my business. That's why getting my business cards was so important to me. It just makes it all real and pulls together my vision. I am so excited about opening my business because it is always something I dreamed about. I would sit at my kitchen table and pretend to sell drawings to my mom or pretend like I was having my own craft show. So this is a really big thing for me. My art is colorful and bright and fun and it always puts a smile n my face. Like I hope it does for others. That's the most important reason why I love to make art, after all. It has always been about making others' people's days after the pull of how much it calms me an brings me to a

I drew this simple drawing in crayon as part of a group challenge. He has three eyes, tusks, and long legs against a beautiful sky of stars. I was really amused by how the colors blended so well. Crayon always has a surprisingly cool effect even though I feel like it is too often avoided. **If anyone wants to share this, please reference where you got it from.*** Please leave comment (be nice!).
