This black drawing paper is thick enough to hold oil pastels. I love the contrast! The flowers are done without and blending, but the butterfly shows how smooth oil pastels can be. Either way, they are creamy and give great texture to your art. ... View the Post
Shimmery, Painted Bugs!
Bugs! They are so cute (when they aren't alive inside the house). :) They are so interesting to look at, with their various shapes and amazing colors.

This one below can be wallpaper or fabric from Spoonflower! ... View the Post
Mixed Media Board
