A quick round up of all the artsy things that I think are super awesome and you might too!
I absolutely adore these funky fabric beads from Alma Stoller. Click through the link to see her awesome video tutorial how-to!
Looking for some inspiration? Visit the Random Art Prompt Generator and choose the number of prompts you want, simple or elaborate and hit the generate button. Awesome-ness ensues!
Alisa Burke shares some answers to frequently asked questions about her sketching process in a wonderfully generous post on her blog. Definitely awesome!
Amy Tan has an awesome solution for taking several rolls of washi tape with you, without taking the rolls! I love solutions like this one that are so simple and yet so totally genius.
Get Started With Art Journaling for $10
A super cool post from Nicole Seitler on the simple supplies you need to get started art journaling. Getting started with art journaling = awesome! You have no excuses left. It's time to start an art journal!
If I may be so bold as to call myself awesome, check out this video of me and Christine Urias (of Scrap Time) making the artful canvas necklaces from this DIY post. It's a long video, but there's plenty of fun patter and good information.
I read this DIY on Design Sponge and immediately made my own! It's both a beautiful and practical idea with a bit of artistic flair! I think you'll agree that that is a super awesome combination!
And finally, an **awesome** giveaway!
