Tote-ally into this! – Transformation Series Part 3

Have you tote-ally been into anything??? I’ve been going through a tote phase. No, this is not where I buy totes. It is in fact where I paint them. I am #toteally loving it! (See what I did there.) Side story: I’d bought these brand new set of gelatos. No, I’m not talking about ice-cream. It’s even better! It looks like a chap-stick, but it is actually a crayon and you can color using them. They are super cool. But more about that at a later time. I was experimenting with them on my new totes. For some reason it… Read More

The Metamorphosis of the Spider-Transformation Series Part 2

Today’s post is part 2 of a three-part transformation series. If you haven’t checked out part 1 yet, you can do so here. So you’ve been looking at one of your old pieces of work and you want to throw it away? Hold on…. Don’t do it yet! We have objects in our life that serve a purpose and when it’s time is up we throw it away. I had a painting that I had made a few years ago at a Paint Nite event. I was very proud of it for a while, but I eventually got over it… Read More

Amazon Redesigned – Tranformation Series Part 1

Imagine receiving a colorful doodled Amazon box instead of a boring brown box for your next package….. Now hold on to that thought for a bit. Today’s post is going to be the first part of a 3 part transformation series. Sometimes things get boring and it needs to be colored up and fixed a little to give it that brand new look (just like your new haircut)! We receive packages all the time. What do you do with the box – throw it away? – Booooo…. There are a lot of options on what you can do with it,… Read More

Art can be a quick fix

Do you check your super smart phones every few minutes? Don’t be shy, tell me the truth. Well, even if it’s not every few minutes I’m sure it’s at least once an hour for most people. Yea, that includes me too! Waon waon (insert upside down smiley). In today’s fast paced world it’s crazy how quickly and easily we can get distracted with a ping notification or a phone vibration. Even when my phone is not making these sounds I sometimes go and look at it to ensure that it’s still alive! In these current state of affairs we need… Read More

Everyday is Mother’s Day

Ya, ya I know, mother’s day just went by. So? Does that mean we cannot celebrate it again! We don’t need a special day to celebrate moms. Everyday is Mother’s Day if you ask me. And especially if you have a mum like mine who is the BEST-EST cook in the universe! (Insert biggest possible smile.) My mum will be visiting me soon so I’m planning on giving her a little surprise. Yay! And nothing makes mum happier than a hand-made kid gift from her kid. Do you remember the look on your mom’s face when you took out the… Read More

Go green or red or yellow or blue …..

Isn’t life so much better with color in it? Imagine what it would be like if there were only 2 colors black and white – and everything was just a shade of gray. That would be oh so bo-ring-gggg. Today’s post is happy and colorful just like spring flowers. If you have been following what I’ve been working on lately you’d know that I’ve been super obsessed with fabric. So I decided to make fabric the central theme for this artwork. And the best part is that most people have scrap pieces of fabric at home – which means, you… Read More

When art meets fashion…..

Do you love denim? I absolutely love denim and all its versions! I like its consistent look across the board, no matter the variation. But I wanted to break this consistency a little for fun. So I created my own designer brand à la OnlyADecadeLate (wink wink). Ingredients: 1) DecoFabric Markers 2) Denim of choice 3) Burst of creative energy I went to town with this project….. This would have been very easy to create if I did not run out of ink (insert eye roll here). The toughest part about making this was getting to the store to buy… Read More

Where does Aluminium Foil belong?

‘Spring ahead!’ What exactly does this mean? No, no technically we all know what this means. That’s not what I’m talking about. Have you ever wondered that these 2 words could metaphorically and symbolically represent so many different things (Insert mind boggled expression here)! What better way to begin spring than by finding out new uses of age-old items. For me it was trying to find out a new way to use a boring household item artistically. I picked our good ol’ friend the ‘aluminium foil’ or ‘wrap’ for this challenge. So where does aluminium foil belong? If you said… Read More
