Recent Art Work

Here are a few recent paintings I've done in watercolor. I made both paintings as cards for family and friends which I am thinking of selling. Enjoy!


Excuse this last one - taken with a camera instead of scanning it.

DIY Framed Earring Holder


Hi there! I don't know about you but as my jewelry collection has grow over the past few years, I've had difficulty storing and displaying my stud earrings - contrary to my dangle-y earrings. As you can see my "before" storage was not very efficient. Here is a little DIY I came up with as a solution.


You will need:

  •  An old frame
  • Styrofoam
  • Fabric of your choice - I used fabric from old lace curtains.
  • Loads of earrings!

 1. Clean up your frame by giving it a new coat of paint or just by wiping it down. Remove the backing from the frame (the glass and cardboard).
2. Cut a piece of Styrofoam to fit your frame. I just traced my from the glass.
3. Using the fabric of your choice, cut it to size and warp it around the Styrofoam. I just used clear tape to secure the edges.
4. Pop it into your frame and add  earrings!

ps. If you were wondering about the backs of the earrings, I just store them in a pretty little glass bowl on the side of my vanity.

Hope you enjoyed!
