    Upcoming Birthday Art Challenge

    January 24, 2022 /

    This year for my birthday I decided to host an art challenge. There will be one prompt per week. You can use any medium as well as the optional color palette. The optional color palette has 4 colors and you can use all, some or none.

    The prompts do not have to be created on the first day. You can take the whole week to create something. When you are ready to post your creation tag me, @melissacruzcampbell and use the hashtag #melsbdayartchallenge. I will repost all creations on my stories.

    365 Days of Doodles

    December 15, 2021 /

    I’ve decided for 2022 to do a doodle a day. Though I will allow myself to do sketches, drawings or paintings as well in the journal but it will mostly be doodles. I am doing these doodles every day as a way to take 10 to 20 minutes a day to not think, worry or stress about anything. I’ve picked out a daily journal with blank pages that are numbered in the top corner from 1 to 365. Its nothing fancy and the pages are thin but for doodles it will work. The journal I bought is IPenny 365 Days Daily Planner/Journal on Amazon.

    The back has a few lined pages and blank pages so I used 1 of the pages to test a few different mediums. I didn’t bother testing markers as it was obvious they would bleed through the thin paper. Wet mediums like watercolor, acrylic gouache & gouache work ok but I can’t go to heavy with water. Acrylic paint works fine. Arteza, Faber Castell, Staedtler & Ohuhu fineliners work great and don’t seem to show through to the other side. Colored pencils and most pens work fine as well.

    My only rules for this are as follows.

    • A page a day for a year.
    • Can do anything (Doodles, Drawings, Sketches, Paintings, etc.)
    • Max 20 minutes per page but prefer 10 minutes.
    I wrote the rules on the page before the numbered pages begin.

    Every Friday I will create an Instagram Story with all the doodles I created that week. If you are interested in seeing what I create, follow me on Instagram.

    Update and October Art Challenges

    September 26, 2021 /

    I have decided since my hands and wrists have been causing me a lot of pain the past few weeks that I will not be participating in any of the October Art Challenges. Hopefully this will allow my hands and wrists to improve. This saddens me because I love doing the October Art Challenges and of course this year I came across some new ones that I was interested in.

    As I see challenges popup for October I save them so I can decide later which ones I am participating in. Even though I decided early in September to not participate I still saved the challenges I came across. Besides the popular challenges, Inktober, Drawlloween and Mab’s Drawlloween, there are many others. I thought I would share some of them below.

This boy has been getting braver this week and today he was very brave. He came out completely to play and ran around the room chasing the laser pointer. I had Snow in there to get him used to Batman and Robin; as well as Chessie who was there for morale support. So I usually end sessions with a treat. Specifically @inaba_churu tube treats. I showed them the tubes which made them all happy. I usually put them in bowls but today Robin was near the bowls and I didn't want to scare him so I decided to wait and see if he would move. Batman slowly got closer and closer until he was sitting next to me. I opened up a tube and he started licking the tube while I was holding it. Robin eventually came over too and did the same thing. So I fed them all that way. So very proud of Batman. He has always been more skittish than Robin. It made me so happy that he trusted me a little. 😊 #shykitty #bravekitty #blackkitty #minipanther #adoptdontshop #treetopskittycafe
Batman is also doing well. Though he did get accidentally scratched near his eye by Robin. He is currently less of a fan of people since we've had to catch him to put ointment on the scratch twice a day. Thankfully it's healing well and his eye was fine. He isn't as brave as his brother and usually hides under the condos when I'm there. However he was the first to be brave when it came to food. If he is hungry and I'm there he will go over to his bowl and eat and was the first to play with me. He does not want pets yet. He loves looking out the window, playing with the laser pointer, loves @inaba_churu lickable treats and of course his brother. I love this shy little guy and his adorable face. #cutekitty #voidkitty #blackcat #minipanther #shykitty #adoptdontshop #batmanandrobin #treetopskittycafe
Robin is doing well. He is a little braver than his brother in some things. He loves to play, watch the birds and snuggling with his brother. His favorite treats are @inaba_churu lickable cat treats and his favorite toys are @yeowwwcatnip toys; which he loves eviscerating. He's killed about 9 so far. Sometimes he lets me pet him and give him chin scritches and other times he wants none of that. He is comfortable enough with me that he will sleep while I'm in the room, play with the feather wand toy, eat treats from either a long spoon or a bowl and sometimes move around the room and look out the window. He desperately wants to make kitty friends. So far only Chessie is fine with him. Still working on the others. Love this silly little guy. #cutekitty #adoptdontshop #batmanandrobin #blackwhitekitty #shykitty #treetopskittycafe
Jon got me D6s made by @diceawaii with Batman & Robin. So I now have all the kitties in dice. I love how they captured Robin's nose. Jon also got 2 more d6 but just cat toys in them and they sent 2 more because they couldn't decide which color toys they liked. Love my dice! Thank you @diceawaii! #diceawaii #dice #kittydice #customdice
