Find Joy in Artmaking!

While trying to amuse my son while I finished up a project, I offered a simple finger painting project, but what happened was pure joy and magic.  He teaches me so much about the joy, freedom, and fun that art making creates in us.  What a great reminder! Enjoy :)



Here's a bit of my own art making joy.  She's just starting to emerge.  I've been wanting to do a mother and child painting for a while and I am super excited about the direction this one is headed.  I'll show you more when she's done.


I am also really excited to announce that I now have a button making machine and have been pumping out super cute 1 inch buttons all week.




Sets of 4 are available for sale HERE

I have a sweet spot in my heart for the power of a 1 inch button.  My husband used to give me different buttons from his and his friends bands to impress me and have an excuse to talk to me before we started dating.  (Needless to say, it won me over.)  They are the perfect size for adorning any item of clothing.  I am a big fan of the messenger bag shoulder strap button row, or the super cute canvas shoe collection.  How do you use buttons in your style?

My son loves to play with them. 

So have a fantastic weekend and save a little time for joyful ARTMAKING!!
