Painting on curved surfaces like ceramic or glass can definitely test your patience. 😅 One of the questions I get asked the most is, "What do you do when you make a mistake?"

The truth is... I make them too.

The biggest thing I've learned is not to panic. Take a deep breath, don't overthink it, and trust the process. Most mistakes can be fixed, and sometimes they even lead to something better than I originally planned.

In this video, I'm showing you exactly how I fix a mistake on a ceramic surface. I hope it reminds you that perfection isn't the goal. Progress is. 💛

Save this for the next time you think you've "ruined" a piece, because chances are, you haven't.

Have you ever wanted to try brush strokes but feel intimidated by them? 🌵✨

Cactus Juice has quickly become one of my favorite paints for this technique! It’s super flowy, highly pigmented, and the consistency makes it easier for the paint to glide right off your brush.

If you’re new to brush strokes, this is a great way to practice because the paint does a lot of the work for you. The way I cluster these strokes together also helps create a beautiful effect without stressing over making every single stroke “perfect.”

Sometimes it’s just about finding the right paint, the right technique, and trusting the process. 💚

These personalized kitty and puppy paw ornaments were always one of my favorite things to paint. 🐾❤️ Every single one was hand-painted and customized just for someone's furry best friend.

I've been thinking... should I bring these back? 👀 Let me know in the comments if you'd love to see them return!

Halfway through 2026, I've been reflecting on everything this year has brought. It's so easy to overthink the things that went wrong, but what if we spent that same energy overthinking the positives instead?

When I look back, I see growth. I see courage. I see risks that turned into opportunities. I see art that started as an idea and ended up in someone's home. I see new experiences, lessons learned, and little victories that deserve to be celebrated just as much as the big ones.

Sometimes we get so focused on what's next that we forget to acknowledge how far we've already come.

So today, I'm choosing gratitude. I'm choosing to celebrate every milestone—big and small—and remind myself that progress is still progress.

Here's to the second half of 2026. May we keep creating, growing, and finding joy in the journey. ✨💛

What is one win you're proud of so far this year? I'd love to celebrate it with you. 🫶

✨ New in the Etsy shop ✨

I am OBSESSED with how these shimmery textured mugs turned out! 🌵💖

Inspired by the vibrant beauty of Mexican Talavera pottery — a style that has such a strong presence here in New Mexico — I wanted to create my own whimsical, handcrafted take with layers of texture, shimmer, and color.

Each mug is painted by hand with Deserted Bliss Bliss Drops. These dimensional details that catch the light and make every sip feel a little more magical ✨☕️

These beauties are now available in my Etsy shop! Perfect for adding a little handmade Southwest-inspired color to your coffee bar, kitchen, or gifting to someone special.

Made live on TikTok — come hang out and watch the next creation come to life! 💕

I know I’ve been a little MIA lately, but sometimes life calls for a pause. Just know I’ve still been creating behind the scenes, dreaming up new ideas, and getting inspired ✨

And trust me… we’re coming back with a bang 🌈💥

Kicking things off with this soft and dreamy 8” Pastel Rainbow Mandala class. One of my favorite things about creating is playing with color and finding ways to make even the boldest palettes feel cohesive. This one is full of all the pastel goodness and I can’t wait to paint it with you on Paint-reon 👏🏼👏🏼 Class starts Mon, 6/22 @ 12 p.m. MST

Who’s ready to jump back in with me? 💛

Okayyyyy… can we talk about how AMAZING the new Cactus Juice from is?! 🌵✨

We’ve been using it ALL week on my TikTok lives and I am officially obsessed. The flow is incredible, the pigmentation is unreal, and it works beautifully with literally everything — dotting tools, dotting rods, rigor brushes, liner brushes, even flat brushes. 😍

These photos are only SOME of the pieces we’ve created with it so far. The packaging? Absolutely phenomenal. You can tell every detail was intentional and thoughtfully designed. Honestly, this might be my favorite new product from besides Bliss Drops and the 3D paint. 👏

If you’ve been thinking about trying it… DO IT. You are not gonna wanna miss this one.
