The beginner watercolor mistake almost everyone makes ๐จ
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hey Reader, I want to ask you something โ and I want you to be honest with me. Do you have a set of watercolors somewhere in your house that you've barely touched? Maybe you used them once, it didn't go the way you expected, and you put them away. And every now and then you look at them and think โ I should really try that again. I hear this all the time. And the reason it feels hard isn't because you're...
What's hiding in your jewellery box? ๐ชก ๐๏ธ
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hey Reader, I have a question for you โ do you have a jewellery box (or a drawer, or a little dish) full of brooches and pins that you absolutely love but never actually wear? Same. There's something so lovely about a beautiful brooch, but somehow they end up tucked away where nobody โ including you โ ever gets to enjoy them. This week, we have a fun little challenge that changes all of that โ and it only...
What happens when your words go on the wall?
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Hey Reader, There's a line I wrote in my journal a while back that I keep coming back to. Just a sentence โ nothing fancy. But every time I read it, something in me settles. I've been thinking about what it would look like to put it on my wall. Not a printed quote from someone else's Instagram โ my words. The ones that actually mean something to me. Turns out, that instinct has a long creative tradition...
Your art journal doesn't have to be good
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Nobody tells you this when you're starting out: an art journal isn't about making good art. It's about having somewhere to put the things that don't fit anywhere else โ the feeling you can't name, the week that was hard to explain, the idea that's not quite ready to be a real thing yet. The page holds all of it without asking you to make it pretty or make it make sense. Mixed media art journaling is where...
Your recycling bin is full of beautiful things ๐ฟ
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys The summit is two days away โ and I've been thinking about something. Most of us have a craft room (or a corner, or a closet) full of things we haven't touched in months. Fabric scraps. Paper offcuts. Packaging that was too pretty to throw away. Supplies from a project we started and didn't finish. That's not clutter. That's a creative supply. And this week, I want to help you see it that way. THIS WEEK'S...
The secret to a craft party with zero regrets (and zero waste)
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Have you ever hosted a craft night and then spent the next morning looking at a bin full of packaging, single-use cups, and tangled scraps โ wondering where it all came from? Making things together is one of the most joyful ways to spend time with people you care about. But the waste that tends to come with it? That's worth thinking about โ especially this time of year, as the maker community is turning...
Your free watercolor challenge starts Monday ๐จ
The Creative Corner ยท HobbyScool Where Creative Passions Become Life-Changing Journeys Can I ask you something? When did you last sit down, pick up a brush, and just play? Not following a complicated pattern. Not trying to make something "good enough to share." Just you, some paint, and a little curiosity about what happens next. That's exactly what we're doing this week โ and we'd love for you to join us. FREE MINI-CHALLENGE ยท STARTING MONDAY Five Fun Feathers Watercolor Challenge ๐ This...
