Creativity Challenge Watercolor Paper


 I've decided to challenge myself. 

Everyday; for the next 100 days I will make it a priority to create something from my list of things and share it here on my blog. I will randomly select the project daily and share the process, results and my experience doing it. 

If your interested follow along. Otherwise, dont mind me I'll just be over here getting crafty living creativee. ;)

Todays random number selection was 3, and 3 on my list is watercolor paper. So, I decided to share a simple water color paper project that I always enjoy doing, sharing and looking at once completed. I hope you do too. 

Keep scrolling to check out how it turned out.







The plus of water color paper is that you can get crazy with saturating the paper with water and it allows colors to blend without the actual paper falling apart. This way you can add color and blend in water as it feels comfortable to you. Its a great tool for water color art so that you can really get an idea of how to blend colors and bravely commit to the colors that you really want to use. It reminds you of the flexibility that you have and creates a beautiful piece of art in such a quick and easy way that can definitely be therapeutic and relaxing to create. you can leave it just like this or allow it to dry completely before adding more details like mountains buildings or maybe even just some typography. 

Until next time... keep getting crafty with it!

11 Day Diet

Image
Years ago I tried this diet called the 11 day diet and I was super pleased with the results. The first time I did it I lost a total of 8lbs in the span of 11 day along with exercise. The second time around I lost another 9 lbs. It was such a great tool at helping me understand how to split up my meals throughout the day, as well as better understanding "eating till I'm satisfied"; choosing more nutritious options that are still easy to prepare. It broke it down for me for the first time in an easy step by step way that I knew was effective.  This diet is really easy to follow and contains very basic food options that makes it very affordable and realistic to follow. It also helps with guiding you to better understand your proper eating habits making sure you are eating enough and not depriving yourself so that you have the proper fuel you need for your day and your workouts.  I am planning on starting it up again this month and I need some ACCOUNTABILITY to h

Ziplock Bag Greenhouse Effect

Image
Sup ya'll. Last year I was successful in getting some seeds to grow from placing the seeds in a zip lock bag, along with a piece of paper towel, a few drops of water, seeds, and taping them to the window allowing the sunlight to work its magic.  About a month ago, I did the same thing and planted them in some soil. I am enjoying the process of that.  In the meantime, I decided to do it a third time and maybe share the process.  In the zip lock bags I have the following seeds:  Rosemary  Carrot Mint Catnip Spinach Red Cherry Tomato Stevia  Borage  English Tall Lavender German Chamomile  Thyme  Sugar Baby Watermelon Purple Petra Basil I will make an effort to share the process and success rate of these guys as well as the planted ones that are happy in some soil.

Popsicle Stick Photo Frames

Image
I had the best time hanging out with Naya and Noah yesterday making popsicle stick frames.  I just so happen to have my Instax camera on hand so we decide to have a bit of a photo shoot after their lunch. One we were done wainting FOREVER for the pictures to develop ;) we decided to get crafting. We choose the popsicle sticks we wanted to use without exactly having an a true intention of how things would turn out other than making some sort of picture frame. Below is the list of materials we had on hand to use. Materials  Popsicle sticks + Wood Glue + Yarn+ Cardstock Paper + Scissors+ Watercolors/Crayons  We started out with painting and coloring our popsicle sticks. Some of use used thin ones and some used the tick ones; both look great but the thicker ones are a little easier to hold on to while they paint or color them.  Using either watercolors or crayons works out well; it really is just dependent on your preference.  After coloring the
