How to Make Three-Dimensional Paper Christmas Ornaments
As I promised, I put together this little video to show you how to make 3D Paper Christmas Ornaments. While I recommend using my book, The Three Dimensional Christmas Ornament Coloring Book and Paper Crafts, all you really need is some construction paper, scissors, glue and a symmetrical shape. These are really fun to make and they look really nice on the Christmas Tree. There are dozens of different types of paper Christmas Ornaments to make. In fact have a whole pinterest board dedicated to them. Enjoy! Make sure to sign up to receive our FREE Monthly Coloring Sheets.Read More

Flip through of the Three Dimensional Christmas Ornament Coloring Book
A big thanks to Jennifer Shaffer for putting together this lovely flip through of my Christmas Ornament Coloring Book and paper crafts. If you wanted to know what it looks like inside, you can see all the images in this video. This book was designed for families to be able to color and create three dimensional paper Christmas ornaments for their Christmas trees. It is especially useful if you are on vacation and need ornaments, are creating a tree for your business and employees, a classroom tree, a tree for the Christmas pageant, retirement home, church group, etc. There are two versions of this book: hardcopy available on Amazon, and digital version which you can download and print out as many copies as you like (read license first) for your classroom, project, retirement home, etc available on TeachersPayTeachers. The paper in the hardcopy book is designed to be able to create the ornaments, but some folks like to print them out on cardstock to make the ornaments a little sturdier. The Christmas ornament coloring book includes all the instructions you will need to make the ornaments, but I am working on a video to show you how to create the ornaments as well.Read More

Day of the Dead Art
Sometimes I dream about the vivid colors and shapes of the sugar skulls, alters, and flowers of the Day of the Dead. It is times like these that I have to abandon my black and white pen and ink illustrations and put some paint on canvas. This cat has been in may head for ages, but now he has come to life on canvas. I make these paintings available as prints, greeting cards, shower curtains and of course phone cases on Fine Art America. This painting is dedicated to those of you who want to remember and celebrate your favorite pet.Read More

Day of the Dead Mermaids
Most of you know me as a coloring book illustrator. Black and white lines are my forte with a special affinity for marine life. BUT, I also like to dabble with painting.
