Hey there – Mother Nature heard me whining that my morning walks were still requiring jackets at 53F…..guess what? 90s this past weekend! GAH!!! I knew it was coming so did some prep last week….I bought a new fan, stocked up on beverages and popsicles and…ICE CREAM! Before the heat hit I decided this week’s theme would be ice cream, and created a ginormous set of printables for you and called it “Peace Love and Ice Cream!”
These are the colors that were out on my desk after finishing all this coloring…..and look at that sweatshirt sleeve! Yes I filmed before the heat got bad in the studio….I sat out under a tree instead all weekend!
In the zip file you’d download if you purchased this set, you’ll get nice flat versions of the colorings from today that you can keep along with the folder of images so it’s handy dandy.
The more complicated ice cream – with three flavors. You might want the version without the stippled details for things like lemon ice cream – light colors might seem a bit odd with all the black detail. But the limited detail is also a great way to learn your shading by putting it in yourself!
These, I’ll just tell ya, are too tiny! ha. I really wanted to get in more detail and couldn’t. But a tip on the soft serve with sprinkles: add them in with a gel pen or with stickles or other colored substances; coloring around tiny ones like this is too hard!

It’s the end of sunflower week – and oh my what fun this was! I’ve had these silk hoops a while, and had all kinds of plans for them, but…well, I diverted into trying Copic just to see, and it’s so easy! The markers just gliiiiiiide across the fabric.
This one has grown on me since I shot the video…..it was a learning piece but it didn’t come out so bad!

IT’S THAT TIME! December is such a slow month for me in terms of YT that I started a tradition years ago to take the month off from YT videos. I have a HUGE list of to-do’s waiting for me, it won’t be a particularly restful month – but I’m excited to finally get to tackle these things. Lots of long-planned items are gearing up!
But in the meantime, let’s end the year with some bang-up realtime Copic coloring?
There are two bows in this stamp set – one with the more triangular bows…..
And the other more round-y bow!
As promised….I took still photos for a Tiny Tutorial today!

Big Bows Little Bows, Trinity Stamps Clear Stamps: EH • TS
I thought I had one thing I wanted to teach in this video with Trinity’s new Holiday Hangout stamp set – then my eye caught a glimpse of a pencil sitting on my desk – what would happen if I tried that for the shadows??
I recall one of my painting teachers getting really frustrated when students kept stopping her to ask which brush, which color, how much water – there was such a panic when people were afraid to do something wrong. Her answer: “Use what works.” Which size brush you use doesn’t matter if it works. Well, I had my pencil out, and can usually trust it to get a job done…so I turned to what works!
The gnome on the left is facing the light – shadows on the left.
Gnome on the right is facing left but the shadows are also on the left. The shadows are on the face and beard, and highlights are on the back of his head!
