Ink Art: Metallic Snowflakes Paintings
I made new snowflake art. This time I painted it on black paper. Black paper is ideal for making metallic looking paintings. Those colors just pop against a black background. I used pixiss ink and paper. I also took photos of both the finished and wet versions of the paintings. The ink tends to move about as it dries. This is why it is important to study how paint dries. I suppose watching paint dry is only exciting for painters. I also did a Tiktok and Youtube video of these artworks. You can see all the...
Ink Art: Snowflakes White and Pink Paintings
I made new ink art. Since it is Christmas time, I decided to paint snowflakes. I had never done snowflakes ink art. So, it was an interesting project. I learned as I went.

Hollow Knight Home Alone Fanart
Christmas is just around the corner. So, I decided to do an Xmas Hollow knight fanart. I chose the movie Home Alone for my parody. This time it is Hornet who is Home Alone. She sees in the window two robbers that are about to break into her house. Hornet fights with silk and spikes. So, she seems like a good trap expert. For the Wet Bandits, I chose Lace and Sharpe. Both are bosses from Silksong. They had the perfect look for this fanart. Lace’s weapon even resembles a crowbar. Instead of a flashlight, I drew one of...

It has been a while since I photographed my ringdoll. She is such a tiny looking bjd doll. She is just perfect to play the role of an xmas ornament. We got the xmas tree up and about.

I am thinking of making a cool art nouveau pattern. This is going to make the dolls stand out. I need to...
