Baylor sparks all kinds of creativity

As a recent graduate of Baylor University, I of course was able to return "home" for homecoming this past weekend. Thinking about the fabulous time I had at Baylor and being on campus has really inspired me. Don't be surprised if there is lots of green and gold in my next post! I've also finished a bunch of things since my last post and added them to Etsy to check it out! http://www.catherinedykes.etsy.com/

I'm branching out on a limb and posting some pictures of some prints I took in NYC and in our backyard garden.
A couple of people have wanted these prints so if you want any of these you can email me and I will send you the price and sizes list.

Let me know whta you think of these!! More to come soon!

Product of the Month:

My new favorite thing is chalkboard paint:

It's great and it has a lot of uses. My favorite is Krylon brand spray chalkboard paint. It works great, it's super easy to use, and looks on the wall for a unique touch to a room but also to accessories. I've recently used it on an old silver serving tray. It's magnetic so now it can be a new giant magnet for your fridge that you can also write your to-do list on. This paint is great and you should definitely try it out!

The black chalkboard paint is awesome and classic but you also might want to try this colored chalkboard paint from Hudson Paint. It adds something new and different without being constrained to only black.

Works In Progress!

Here are some recent works in progress! I've been doing a lot of splatter painting recently which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to try it. It relieves a lot of stress and everything always ends up looking good!

I'll post more pictures when they are finished. I'm ending this post with a quote from Pablo Picasso:
"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary".
