{Project Run & Play} Project Art Studio: Blank Canvas

  An empty canvas is a living wonder - far lovelier than certain pictures.- Wassily KandinksyWhen I joined Project Art Studio, I began brainstorming ideas.   Art is individual and no two are alike.  As I saw more and more ideas from others come in, I became more stumped.  I've always tended to stray from "what everyone is doing" and be completely unique.  My youngest...

{Riley Blake Designs} Leafy Keen by Amanda Niederhauser

My youngest entered middle school last month which means her style has started the shift away from being too "kiddish and young".   Luckily, I've already gone through this with my oldest so I've learned to take a step back and give complete control over the design process. One thing that never becomes too "young" is animal print.  The moment I saw Leafy Keen by Amanda Niederhauser...
