Many people assume tarot and oracle decks are to tell the future, and are somehow a tool to communicate with demons. The truth is, you are communicating with yourself.

Valentine’s Day is just a few days away – and the big question comes up: what should you get your boyfriend? Gifts for girls feel easy: flowers, cute jewellery, done. But boyfriends?

I've been learning crochet through YouTube videos and other tutorials for the last 5 months or so, and I would like to offer my tips and tricks to new people that would like to try out the hobby.

Here you will find all the supplies I love when it comes to crocheting. Between, my favorite crochet hooks, books to help you get started, and patterns I love, I think you’ll find something you like here or that makes you want to learn how to crochet.

I am a oil painter and these are some of my must have items.

Handmade watercolor usually comes with mix hue rather than one solid hue, so it's understandable if lots of them are less pigmented and have more fillers. It's made from sometimes different kind of pigment with different watercolor benders, so the quality could be hit or miss since it's a home-based production. Also, the prize could range from affordable to high end if the maker use high quality pigment. But I can assure you, they had great color scheme/theme, that you don't have to mix any primer color to make it. P.S: Some of these collections probably not handmade, but didn't have a brand name, so I keep them included.
