Here's the final look!!

I'm thrilled by all the pops of color, I tried a new technique on this piece - now that I have increased confidence using a brush 😊

I'm so thankful for everyone's kind words on the process videos ❤️ it really pushes me to make time for art, any chance I get!

Here's my newest creation - a black faux leather journal with butterfly motif, and my favorite checks pattern!
IRL, the gold highlights around the butterfly add a lovely contrast to the green checks 😍

It's up for grabs, for $25 + shipping, in the US.. if anyone is looking for a new book to inspire some introspection or junk journaling!

Watercolors have been my Achilles heel for the longest time...

I found books at a café in Queens a few months ago, but I could only muster the courage to buy one of her books this week - her patterns and instructions make this art form suddenly seem achievable...

This evening, on a video call with my friend .sin_desitraumaresearcher , we both enjoyed a charming hour of romanticizing water colors and letting the colors guide our mood ✨

That's one item on my 2026 Bingo card ticked off 🙂

After a fantastic Galentine's celebration with , I felt inspired to pick up my paints and make a colorful butterfly on this black faux-leather journal!

This one is sold, but I have an idea for 2 more butterflies I'll be painting this week! If you'd like one of them to be yours for $25 (plus shipping) send me a DM to reserve 🙂

Holidays are such a beautiful time to relax and reminisce on the past 12 months!

⏳Oh what a year... I realized creativity shows up in different ways, once you let it.. it won't follow a rigid path, but that's the best part!

🎨This year, I rediscovered Junk Journalling after seeing .jha , met people who are equally passionate about it at different meet ups, thanks to and

🗽This year, I finally settled in and felt ready to call New York "home" for the foreseeable future

🪽 This year, I left a toxic workplace out of choice, and networked my way to the best bunch of colleagues imaginable, people I never knew existed in Corporate America, and I found my voice and rebuilt my soul

📚 This year, I read over 15 books - I never left the house without one, read on subways, heard podcasts while driving, felt more like myself after years

❤️‍🩹 This year, I beat Cancer, and I did it like a boss!

🔮 Next year, I have more goals and dreams, all meant to enrich my life in wonderful ways..and I cannot wait to step into my 40s in style!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!!! 🌹

I put up a booth today junk journaling event, and loved every minute of it!

I got the craft among fellow paper enthusiasts, got an afternoon to create, and also share my art with the group 😀 We listened to 90's pop while crafting, and I kid you not - most of us were singing along!!
All in all, an absolutely marvelous afternoon!!

Mental note-I really need to get back to painting again - and have a huge overstock that I have to put on sale soon so I can make new things 😁
