 The Makings and Musings
CREATIVE COMMUNITY

Just what you need to start your art habit

Why join the community

You can start building a creative habit that feels easy and joyful — even if you have not picked up a pencil in years.

 

You will have a reason to make art again. With simple prompts, mindful lessons, a kind group to cheer you on and monthly giveaways,  you will feel supported as you reintroduce yourself to your creative side.

This is your space to explore, to play, and to enjoy making art without pressure.

 

You do not need to be ‘good’ at it — you just need to begin.

I will help you do that.
