How's it going?  In my new-found free time (I know, what even is that?) I thought I would try a few different things on this  blog, the first being Things I love Thursdays (TILT)  Here in you'll find blogs, links, and products I love not made by me but certainly appreciated by myself!
To start off I'm sharing a super cool idea that I'm hoping to borrow in this next year!  Elise Blaha Cripes has done a few different projects tied to making 12 different items tied to editions and materials as relating to a certain year of age.  That was a mouthful, but in four different years she has embarked on creating something new each month and sharing it!
The original:
Make 26
Make 27
Make 29
Make & Give 30 (& follow along in real time)

I find these projects super fun (and inspiring) I'm hoping to embark on a little adventure myself as I turn twenty this year.  In lead up, I'm doing 19 paintings before my final teenage year escapes me...here's what that idea is turning a pallet into:

Another little tidbit of other work...

Making progress on the project funded by a grant from the Community Foundation.  I have my frame built and ideas ruminating.  Check out the website for more information!

Received tremendous help with building the frame, so I painted them a little thank you.  Sounds like they enjoyed it.  Fingers crossed.

I have a fresh batch of resin so I'm back to making jewelry

It's good to get back in the swing of things.  The bracelet right above this needs a new lobster claw, came out of the package sad and limp.  Time to go dig up some pliers!
