And you might remember me experimenting with pressed flower to create a unique DIY phone case (that was almost one year ago, wow!). Well, I still love the idea of playing around with pressed flowers in DIY projects, and when randomly shopping homeware […]
It’s not a secret I love fabrics and I’ve always had this passion for any piece of tissue with customized prints. I’ve been meaning to test out this lemon-stamp technique for a while, but wasn’t sure of the technical details to make paint actually stay on my fabric without turning into a big yellow mess […]
Wire signs are being very popular lately, Instagram and Pinterest are so overpopulated by them and they do indeed look very pretty.

In my short adult life in Houston I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know a lot of local artists, and I mean, a lot! Today, though, I want to shed some light on a recent UH graduate, Trevon Latin. His art, inspired by a mix of human interaction and pure fantasy, is both gritty […]
I certainly spend a fair amount of time on Etsy. Don’t we all? It really works that way–suggesting items, like little pieces of candy, leading us down the rabbit hole of hand-crafted treasures… Speaking of rabbits, one evening, I started a search with “cute taxidermy,” and ended up at a felted rabbit wearing snowshoes!
