painting with gel paint

Over the long, long snow week I had a few things in mind that I wanted to try. This one sort of came from a post I saw on Pinterest and now can’t find to credit (isn’t that always the way?). I think they actually made the paint in that one with corn starch and […]

cleaning paint palette

I’m a huge fan of reusable paint palettes for projects for myself and the Bit — I even save plastic lids for this very purpose. But one problem with them is that you have to clean them. When you have a kid artist at home, both palette and brush can be pretty messy by the […]

My sister-in-law is amazingly great at picking presents for the Bit and me.
