Of course, there are a lot of things that we can do over the summer: go to the beach, concerts, amusement parks, and draw, right?

So Cold

It's been cold these past few days, but despite the cool weather, the bugs have been emerging and hanging out. If you know me, you know I'm a big fan of creatures in general and especially bugs 🙂 Today, I'd like to share a few ladybug based projects I made for Sue Jenkins' Digital Design class a year ago. I'm mostly talking about these as an excuse to spread the word about ladybugs, which I think a lot of people are misinformed on....

Coloring Nature

Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoying your summers, and hopefully enjoying the weather. For me, it has been kind of windy, but overall has been nice enough not to wear a jacket.

As a kid, I went to camp, and we would take leaves that we found outside and color the design on paper....
