Video alert: Some art stuff

Happy Friday, everyone! I thought I'd do something different and post a video of me doing a quick flip through of two art books I've been loving lately. It's short...only about 4 minutes:D


Enjoy:)

Remember when adult coloring books was a thing a year ago? I know these are art books, but I'd love to color every single thing in that fashion illustrations book.

Loving your video! I finally got to hear your voice!!! Of course I love both book, The Jan Davenport one was my favorite. The eyes speak to my soul, I’ve always liked eyes. I was obsessed with them when I attended art school.

Man I wish I could draw like that too Emmy. I adore fashion sketches, mainly for those beautiful silhouettes they draw up like they're simply writing the alphabet

Emmy, I loved hearing your voice! Two great books. I've always been into fashion illustrations. I think they're so pretty. The shading, colors and overall aesthetic. I'm really loving the Jane Davenport Faces book. They seem so real. Like you can pierce their eyes and tell how they're feeling. Love the coloring of their skin & hair. Such realness.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Losing my mojo

 I've been having a hard time getting motivated to post anything at all these days. I've deleted X on my phone, and am on Bluesky now, but even then, I don't really post much there. (I've stopped posting on Instagram and Facebook years ago, and don't have a TikTok/) Even having a hard time posting consistently on my Art YouTube channel.  I do have a small Catholic YouTube channel, and another small  "fish" channel (and I use that term lightly coz I mostly post random stuff about our shubunkin goldfishes), but even then, these days, I just want to go "off the grid" :( That is all.

Sunshine Blogger Award

Shannon, from The Creation of Beauty Is Art , is not only an awesome beauty blogger, she is also kind enough to nominate me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you, Shannon:) Here are the questions she posted for us to answer. What is the last great book you read?     The last great book I read was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Do you have an all time favourite lipstick shade?  My fave lipstick shade of all-time is Bite Beauty's Chai. If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and what would you say to them?   If I could meet one celeb, it would be...hmmmm....probably Barack Obama. Does he count? I just wanna thank him for being such an inspiration, and maybe convince him to come back:P I'm Canadian, but I care about US politics too. What blog post of yours are you most proud of?  The blog post I'm most proud of is probably  this one :D Do you prefer shopping at Sephora, MAC, or the drugstore? Why?   I prefer shopping...
