I have discovered that although we have an abundance of time during self isolation, it moves pretty damn fast. I always have a list of things to fill my time with. Perhaps the issue is choosing to do things that will benefit my state of mind, and not just hurtling through things regardless. These slow me down. I hope they help you too xx

Just a note: my printer can be incredibly rude, and only print half a page sometimes. That happened multiple times today. In the end the frustration is helping me illustrate a point - I was mad, and didn’t feel like coloring inside the lines. So, I watered down my paint and painted over them. The printer ink ran and the paper curled, but you know what - it’s about the process. I felt better being rebellious. Side note to the note: this also illustrates a larger point. If you don’t have coloring pens, you may use crayons, chalk, pastels, poster paint, tempera paint, paint paint, heck turmeric, soil and beetroots. Don’t let materials rule. We don’t have a large amount of control currently, so go with it where you can xx
Hello all!
My dear friend Shalma, requested some colouring pages for her two little bears to work on during this time of sheltering at home.
Most of my work starts as a line drawing, so it lends itself to this exact need.
This first batch comprises of repeat patterns. The idea is that you loose track of the finished piece, and enjoy the process.
Download and get colouring! I would LOVE to see how you design your final piece. You can tag me @kitty_coles_designs and hashtag the post #katiespages
Wishing you a happy and healthy time at home xx

We went to Papersource, to pick out the card and pens, then went to town, in the hopes we were spelling all 90 peoples names correctly! Next were the chalkboards. I am really pleased with the finished pieces, but mainly just ecstatic that the wedding went beautifully and was so much fun to be part of.
Sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet, and I have to execute some of the not so practical ideas I have. This time I decided to make it a little more challenging, by making a Summer entertaining round tray, out of an existing very inexpensive product. I went to the 99 cent only store and perused the aisles. I found a round pizza cooking tray, this great gridded blue poster board and some graph paper. After spray painting the tray, I painted one of my favorite bloom shapes in the centre, using Windsor and Newton acrylic paint - here is how it turned out.
I am a big fan of organising myself, by placing similar items in small bags within my larger bag.
Thankfully, Society 6 started making lovely pouches - in three very useful sizes.
This is my petal pouch - which I absolutely love. Useful, hardwearing and pretty

Last week I was working on a shoot that was scheduled to wrap at 3:00am. We were outside and it was particularly cold for LA.
I needed to dash out for something locally. Thankfully whilst on my run, I flew by a Starbucks, which knowing I would need to stay awake and alert for hours to come, I stopped at. The cup handed to me made my day! It said "Color me Spring" on the side, and my mind was happily occupied throughout the rest of the cold night shoot
Last year I decorated some ceramic eggs and played with displaying them in a glass case. This year - they broke out and stood alone. I added two more designs to the group and sent out orders across the country!
This weekend I will be at the Good Eye Gallery, Merry Makers Christmas sale.
I have been elfing away (that is in fact a term), making one of a kind christmas cards, embellishing art prints and finishing up my latest project - laser cut jewelry!
Also on offer - some accessories for your tree, in the form of driftwood feathers, hand painted glass and wood baubles and ceramic bells!
