Trying a New Art Material {Craft Challenge, Day 136}

Sarah White May 15, 2016 Paper Crafts and Drawing0 Comments

I don’t know where I heard about them, but I recently read something about Permapaque opaque markers that sparked my interest. They’re basically paint pens that are permanent, archival quality and work on tons of surfaces, but they don’t require the shaking and priming that most paint pens do, they’re …

Coffee-Stained Paper {Craft Challenge, Day 135}

Sarah White May 14, 2016 Paper Crafts and Drawing0 Comments

I have a confession to make: I almost never finish a cup of coffee. I drink some at breakfast, usually make a to-go cup to take when I take the girl to school, drink a little in the car, sometimes have a little while I’m doing chores or other morning …

Sarah White April 8, 2016 Painting / Paper Crafts and Drawing0 Comments

I was cleaning up the girl’s room the other day and happened across this sheet from an atlas that I’d given her last year when we did her dragon egg hunt. She won’t miss it, so I decided to use it as a background for a project. You can paint …

Map a House {Craft Challenge, Day 96}

Sarah White April 5, 2016 Paper Crafts and Drawing0 Comments

How well do you remember the places you used to live? It turns out I don’t all that well. I can remember generally where different rooms were, but it turns out when I tried to draw the house I grew up in, I, for one, did a really bad job …
