Today's arts & crafts was watercolour pencil once again. It came out a bit wonky but I had fun doing it!
A watercolour and watercolour pencil painting of a window overlooking a cove. There is a scene of purple irises, a gray rocky beach, and the blue ocean, framed by a red window frame. The sky is a mix of clouds and blue.

Some photos from my trip to South Korea! Bukchon Hanok Village, a pretty cherry blossom lined street, and Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, as well as a view of Cheongpyeong Lake in Gapyeong county.
A photo of a small pedestrian street in Bukchon Hanok Village, lined with traditional Korean houses on an overcast, rainy day. You can see skyscrapers in the background. At the bottom of the street, many people congregate while using umbrellas. A photo of a cherry blossom lined road in the Myeongdong area of Seoul, South Korea. A woman and a couple cross the street in opposite directions while holding umbrellas. In the foreground, a coca cola truck waits for the light to change.

One of my favourite things I like to photograph is tree bark! I love all of the different textures you can find in nature.
A close-up photo of rough, light brown tree bark. The bark has many deep grooves and cracks. A close-up photo of a maple tree trunk. The bark is dark brown and wet from rain. There is a knot in the wood that looks like an eye.

This month's crafternoon- making collages!
A collage in purple and green. An eclipsed sun hangs in a green marble sky, there are hills depicting snowy houses, the green italian countryside, and a fishing stage. There are other hills in green, purple, and beige. A collage of text reads 'Slow down in natural abundance, sanctuary.' There is a small strip of ocean at the bottom with two small rocks.

Making t-shirt yarn today! Someone is a fan.
Three balls of yarn rest on a light brown hardwood floor. One is light blue, one is white, and the last ball, which is a bit larger than the other two, is black. The world's most adorable black and white cat sits on a dark blue couch-shaped cat scratcher, attacking a small ball of blue yarn.

There's nothing like a clear winter sunset.
