❝The joy is in the play...❞
Tammy
I'm Tammy. I blog about bringing creativity into your life, one line, one stitch, one photograph, one drip of paint at a time. I jump back + forth between mediums. The list is long, but the idea is constant.
Here's what I like to do: play in my art journal, create mixed media art, take photographs, paint with acrylic or watercolor, draw doodles + mandalas + cityscapes... stitch journals, create quirky quilts with my sewing machine, alter books... a little of everything.
A bit about me...
