What’s On My Palette | Studio Log - Mar 2 - 8

A peek inside my studio this week — It was a busy week in the Hailey house, so studio time had to be strung together in small pockets of time.

Got a few more 75 Art drawings ticked off the list, and I even managed to spend a little time just making messes in my magazine collage scraps.

🎨What’s On My Palette is a recurring studio series where I share the art supplies, color palettes, and creative tools behind my current illustration projects. Perfect for artists, stationery lovers, and creative entrepreneurs curious about process and materials.

I also put together a few tiny tinker trays I can grab for quick collaging when studio time has been in short supply.

Happily a perpetual beginner. ✨


 

75 Art Challenge | Louisiana Love

Even with celebrating a birthday and nursing the house through yet another round of sinus and ear infections, I managed to make a few more 75 Art drawings.

Yay, Mama! 😅

In my Louisiana cookin, there’s no such thing as too much garlic…

In my opinion, no Cajun dish should go without “The Pope”. 😆

Once we finish building our garden fences, we plan on growing an obnoxious crop of garlic this year. I can’t wait!
