An ink and watercolour floral wreath, inspired once again by the dried blooms (strawflowers) from Joanne of @mistikacres • Why do I always use the 005 fineliner by @kellycreates ? It’s waterproof....so that means I can sketch first, and add colour in afterwards if I decide to. No bleeding ink. Love that option. @creativelysquared @minimarshmallows_mum #cs_foragedandfound #inspirationabounds #handpainted #original #handdrawnfloralwreath #cansonpaper #buyanoriginal #livethelittlethings #slowliving #flashesofdelight #watercolour #watercolor #painting #diamondandwillow #saskblooms #canadianmade #strawflowers #wearethemakers #botanicalillustrations #saskatchewan #shoplocal #yxeartist #studioscenes #handmade #illustration #theartofslowliving #livingyxe #calledtobecreative #saskliving #bonniepeters

The #littlehands and I, got to showcase these blooms again purchased from Joanne of @mistikacres ...this time in the cleaned up metal box I shared in my stories last week. I told you I’d find a use for it...in case I had any doubters out there. Don’t these flowers look pretty spilling out of it? We also get to join in this weeks challenge by @creativelysquared @minimarshmallows_mum #cs_foragedandfound Both the flowers and the metal box were foraged and found. #strawflowers #floralinspiration #consciouscreativity #everydayordinary #searchwandercollect #flatlaystyle #creativelysquared #isntthatlovely #itsthelittlethingsinlife #beinspired #diamondandwillow #sasklife #whatwedoforfun #domesticforaging #doitfortheprocess #saskatchewan #littlestoriesofmylife #helpinghands #ordinarythings #whatwedoforfun #saskmade #thingsarrangedneatly #yxe #saskliving #lookingdown #flatlayforever

A more winter themed cup...because, well it’s winter I suppose. I’ve mentioned this before I believe, but these cups are something I can work on easily while snuggled up on the couch, (and that’s everyone else is in the evenings) rather than by myself in my room downstairs room dedicated to all things ‘art.’ Another plus is it only takes one 005 black fineliner by @kellycreates (my fave) and a paper cup. Easy-peasy 👌🏻 #coffeecupillustration #handdrawnillustrations #starbucksneedsme @starbucks @starbuckscanada

‘I’m on a roll’...don’t be fooled. Or, you can take it literally and image me rolling down a snow heaped hillside. Regardless of how we all ‘roll,’ it’s bound to be different under each of our individual circumstances. I roll best with COFFEE. Plus, it’s better in a pretty cup. This lovely one was hand crafted by @jessica_danbrook_ceramics and bought a year ago, at a winter market in Saskatoon. So, apparently...I ‘rolled’ slowly on showcasing it...but, guaranteed it’s been in use. I love the bigger size, and that way I can say I only drank one cup (equivalent to 2 regular sized cups) and no one is the wiser...until now.

The #littlehands and I have so many ideas to make use of the dried flowers we purchased this week from Joanne of @mistikacres This colour gradient was the first we thought of to make use of the straw flowers. The girls sorted out all the blooms into similar colour variants and then I helped to place them in the order they chose. You can rest assured there are more to follow on these. It was hard to dismantle it, because it looked so pretty. In other news...I am working on a new class, all about flatlays, to be offered in January. More info will be posted in the coming days. Would you be interested in coming? I’d love to have you.

My newest tutorial is now available for viewing on @kellycreates blog. This one would make a great gift for someone you care about to remind them why they’re special, and would be ‘extra special’ because you took the time to make it. I explain the how to of it, in very easy steps. You can also make yourself one while you’re at it because, ‘You’re Special’ too, and sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that. Adapt it into a journal page, or post it at your workplace station...cause it would be so pretty too. Don’t be afraid of colour either...you can do it all in ‘black’ if that’s your style. So, I will add in an affirmation for you right now...’You got this! You rock! I believe in you! You can do this!’ ...Okay I got carried away.
