this homemade paint recipe is super easy and a lot of fun to play with

It’s always fun to make your own craft supplies, whether for your kids or your own use. I’m still enjoying the homemade gesso I made a few months ago and need to make a new batch soon. I decided to try making some paint, not because we need more paint, but because it’s fun to […]

I love doing art projects with the girl, but it’s something we’ve been doing a lot of lately. Well, she started a project that hasn’t gotten finished yet, but that will be really cool if it ever gets done, so we’ll see. Even as a sort of crafty professional it can be hard to come […]
