❝The joy is in the play❞
Hi! I'm Tammy. I blog about bringing creativity into your life, one line, one stitch, one photograph, one drip of paint at a time. You'll find that I jump back + forth constantly between my favorite mediums... and the list is long. But the idea is constant. Doing art brings balance to my life.
Here's what I like to do: art journal, do mixed media art, take photographs, paint with acrylic or watercolor, draw doodles and mandalas and cityscapes... stitch journals and create quirky quilts with my sewing machine... alter books and embroider stuff.
My daughters (9 and 12) do creative stuff like drawing maps and painting birdhouses. They are avid story writers and doodlers deluxe. The breakfast table is our artspace, and it's always a mess. Sometimes we even clear the table for dinner.
