Tangled Tuesday: Diva Challenge #106
Been busy and not feeling up to blogging lately. But last minute decided to do this week’s Diva Challenge. The idea came from Jessie’s history lesson today. Saw the illustration of the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio and thought it would make a great fit for this week’s challenge.

Creative Every day 3
Lots of doodles & Squiggles. And a new resource! Been obsessing over working on the art course for next year and stumbled on Milliande’s website. She’s a mixed media artist and homeschooling mom! She’s got a “Create Art Portfolio Ideas” course online… for free! So I may be shifting media for a bit while I give [...]
Tangled Tuesday: inspiration strikes
Here’s a ZIA I’ve been working on since Sunday. I was inspired by a drawing of a Tlingit Indian crow mask (in one of Jessie’s history books). Not done yet. But happy with it so far. And happy to feel inspired!
