Custom Wire Hangers: How-To!

Have you ever wondered how those sellers on etsy make those cool looking wire hangers with your name on them? (Link)

I did! So much so that I had to buy some supplies and give it a go! Since doing that, I've had a lot of people (brides-to-be) asking me how to make them. Well, here is how!

YouTube Channel

Hello All!

I have recently been revived and inspired, craft-wise, by a lot of the brides I talk to on Instagram and The Knot911. To help my fellow brides and crafty folks, I have made a YouTube channel that focuses on DIY projects! :)

Inspirational Works

You know, for a design blog, this looks like it's lacking a lot of design to it. I'm actually kind of embarrassed. lol.

Anyway, the point of this blog is NOT to talk about how I use an ugly template, it's to show some works that I'm really digging right now. Typically I show these on my dA page but I'm trying to branch out a bit. lol.

So, here they are, in no particular order (except by category..lol):

Digital and Traditional Paintings
I have a deep love for traditional art but that doesn't mean digital art isn't equally awesome! Here are some examples!
