Ten Craft Ideas for Experienced Crafters

-

 Are you bored with simple projects circulating the internet? Here are 10 super challenging art projects for you to take on! 

1. Photo realism 

This is THE most challenging painting types, and here’s how to do it! 

First, visit this website - 

https://www.carolefeuerman.com/blog/2020/12/28/how-to-make-paintings-look-more-realistic

to get an introduction into photo realism. Then take a photo - 

(You don’t have to paint my dog. In fact, that would be kind of creepy.) 
Then, blend up just the right colors -

And slowly begin your work! 

2. Watercolor 

Trust me, it is harder than it looks.

3. Learning to play a complicated instrument is quite challenging. 

I usually base my songs off of poems by Shakespeare. My favorite sonnet is here - https://poemanalysis.com/william-shakespeare/sonnet-66/

Warning - it is a bit gruesome. 

4. Poetry itself 

It is so hard! This is a poem I wrote for my grandma’s birthday - 


Grandmama, happy birthday. 

This day is a special day, 

not because of the food or the games 

but because we are celebrating a wonderful gal 

A friend to all, a mother, a pal 

Grandmama, you make every day full of life and cheer

And You’ve taught me so much throughout the years

and the knowledge and wisdom you’ve brought to light 

 will remain with me all my life 

I wish I could give you the full celebration you deserve, 

but alas, no party can tell you how much I love you, girl 

You let others lean on you, not you on others. 

You are more than a granny and mother 

even though your child is an adult, 

You’ll always be there with never ending love.

 You are a mother-in-law who also acts as a friend, 

and you bring out the best in both of those positions towards Dad. 

You are the best grandmother, I feel so blessed in every way 

Every day when I walk down the stairs and see your smiling face I know that it will be another great day. 

Every night when I close my door and I can here you say

 Another Great Day

I smile and know that tomorrow will be another good one too. 

Because my grandmother is you. 

5. Scrapbooking 

Something about it just seems so hard! But if you follow my dear friend Judith Cassel Mamet online, it can become so easy! Mrs. Mamet specializes in mixed media and watercolors. We email sometimes. ☺️❤️

Please visit her website! I love her so much! 😃😃😃😃😃

6. Dog photography 

They move around so much and hardly ever sit still, making it very challenging! 

7. Screenwriting 

I recently took the very popular Mamma Mia movie and completely rewrote the script as a present for my mom! 

Mommy mommy, how you thrill me, aha mommy mommy!

8. Macrame 

Somehow, I can never master this! Got any tips for me? 

9. Baking 

You have to get it down to an exact science! 

Check out my confetti cake recipe! Not exactly as healthy as I would like, but still. . . 

10. Blogging 

It ain’t easy, but I love it! And I love you guys! So have a great day and know how much God loves you!

Makeup Challenge

 Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. Things have gotten crazy. But I am back to blogging and being my creative self! So I started a makeup challenge. I love doing my makeup in the morning before school. I went to a website where you can make a  wheel  and add makeup looks to it and spin it around to let it pick a look at random. So I will be doing these looks and posting tutorials on here as well as posting some other content. It sure feels good to be back, and I hope you’ll follow along on my journey with me also.  The wheel selected colorful makeup, which should be fun! Watch the tutorial below to see how to do your own colorful makeup ❤️🩷✨ It’s actually not really a tutorial and more a crazy video of me running around trying to put on makeup at 1 AM. I will be showing some finished photos below. To keep anonymous I’ve just done some close ups of different aspects of the makeup look. I can’t wait to see what the wheel chooses next. This was quite th...

Best Biscotti Recipe

-
 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed t...
