Finally, after well over a month since starting this piece, it’s finished, and the baby (my son) who inspired it has finally arrived. Want to know something weird? I got this idea when I was around 6-7 months pregnant, and once potato arrived, the baby in this piece actually looked like him. Yes, a little… Read More…
It’s been a while since I made a new fabric design, and I’ve wanted to make some more bee themed fabrics for the next batch of wax wraps I’m making. If you don’t know what those are, I’m working on a video for on over on my lifestyle blog SimplyKlaire.com which will hopefully be up in… Read More…
You know, for something that was so fun to draw and paint this piece was an absolute nightmare to scan. At some point, I think I might have to replace my scanner to something a little more powerful, because all the subtle yellows, greens, and blues were getting completely washed out.

I think a lot of people see looks like this and get a little intimidated, but they don’t have… Read More…
A few years ago I filmed a tutorial with Stuart Bray on how to take a face cast. Like a lot of special effects, it’s not the easiest thing to make and the tools and equipment needed aren’t always massively affordable. I’ve had a lot of questions asking about a cheaper, easier option, so today… Read More…
A few weeks ago I showed you how to make some pretty disgusting nails with packaging peanuts, well, today I’m going to show you the easiest and the cheapest way to make horns. I know I’ve shown you how to make a few of these, but I was thinking the other day that all the… Read More…
