A Little Etsy Love :: The StarShine Company

This was my first time buying incense from The StarShine Company. The scents are lovely! You can definitely tell the difference between cheap incense and The StarShine Company's high quality. They burn for up to 45 minutes. Each incense is freshly made to your order. Some scents can take up to 5 days to soak, allow about 5-7 days before shipping. I still found the incense to arrive fast.

They have over 500 scents to choose from. I purchased the variety pack: Choco-Love, Cherry Blossom, Lime Leaf & Lilly, Baby's Breath and Good Fortune. My favorite is a cross between Good Fortune and Choco-Love.

Extremely happy with the cards I received. So many talented Gocco artists. Below are the cards scanned, for a close up look.

This was the lovely card Katie sent, thanking me for participation in the swap. It didn't scan well. It's much more lovely in person.

Color Mixing Bible by Ian Sidaway

I originally saw this book over at Crafty Hues. I've been eye-balling it ever since. Now that I have it in my possession, just another reason for me to play with ink.

GoodReads blurb :
Mixing colors accurately may be an art unto itself. In fact, many artists are discouraged by the time and expense it takes to mix and match colors, and achieve the right results. Even more frustrating is the vast range of colors available. Now there's a ready-to-use visual directory that takes all the guesswork out of mixing and matching colors . . . making every artist an expert! Color Mixing Bible provides a basic color palette for each art medium, demonstrating an array of two-, three-, and four-color mixes, as well as offering full explanations of various paints and pigments. This invaluable guide features scores of tips and techniques for color mixing with oils, acrylics, watercolors, inks, pastels, and virtually every other art medium. It also includes in-depth information on how to determine the opacity and strength of a color, choose a color palette, mix whites, arrange and organize colors prior to mixing, use optical and physical mixing techniques, and much more! Plus, hundreds of color illustrations make everything simple. Whether one is an aspiring artist or working professional, Color Mixing Bible is an essential addition to every bookshelf.

On My Desk Wednesdays :: Painting

Getting ready for father's day. The boys and I were painting up a storm. We've decided to make dad a picture frame. Hey look ... the N is upside down ... thank goodness nothing is attached yet.

Finally Some Shelves

I was gifted with these beautiful shelves (one not pictured). I finally have all my books in one place. My craft and sewing books, printing books, fun reads, sewing magazines, hair style books ... all together with room for more!
