Learning To Paint

Those of you who read my homeschool blog, know that I am learning to paint, using the one stroke method. Since I really want to paint jewelry, I am going to share my progress here. The first paper is the teacher's, my mom. The second is mine. You can clearly see the difference, lol. She has been painting for quite some time, so I guess it really is not a good comparison. I have decided that I will practice for a little bit each night, that I can. The leaves are especially hard. I got a new brush called the Filbert brush, and I really love this brush. I would love to get good enough, where I can paint jewelry, candle holders, and whatever suits my fancy. Do you paint? What method do you use?

Colors of Garnet Gemstones

It is time to feature some birthstones, again. I try to do this each month, but with different info or videos. Since the birthstone for January is the Garnet, I have selected videos for each color. Garnet comes in every color and range of the rainbow, except blue. However a new find has Masasi blue color change garnet from blue to reddish purple. Like Alexandrite however it is not always a complete change and many are just color shifts. But if you love phenomenon gemstones, as I do, it is worth considering adding one to your collection. Happy Birthday to all my readers who are January babies. I hope you own a piece of beautiful birthstone jewelry. There is nothing more special than honoring your own birth.

Making Upcycled Jewelry Earrings

Something that has peaked my interest, is making jewelry or other craft items, from recycled items. It is called upcycling and is a very new trend that is becoming very popular. I laugh at myself, because I really don't have a ton of time to learn more new things, but this is an awesome idea. I will share more upcycling videos in the coming weeks. Do you upcycle?
