Y'all, I'm so excited to kick off the first ever Plant and Sip event! I have a full house coming tonight and we're going to have a ton of fun playing in the dirt together. 😍🌿🍷🍾🎉🥳
Y'all, I had a fantastic time painting with the wonderful ladies from Life Ministries Thursday evening. A few of them were a little nervous at first, but I assured them that even though they claim to lack the ability to draw a straight line, we were painting circles and curves so they'll do just fine. 🤣 Y'all tell me, was I right or what? Look at these gorgeous paintings! Didn't they do an incredible job!? I know! All of these came out great. I had so much fun laughing the night away with these fine women. They really enjoyed themselves, too. You can tell by those beaming smiles. If you have a group of fabulous people that you'd like to share a creative experience with, let's talk about it. It only takes 5 people to book a private event and I travel to you wherever you want to party creatively. There's lots of art projects to choose from including clay sculpture, candle making and even craftier options like decorative pillows and wreath making. Together we will plan an amazing evening that they will talk about for years to come. Everyone can make art. I'll show you how. ♥️🎨🎉🥳🐞🌿🌷
The Blacklight paint party was a total success! I had a lovely time hanging with these rad people. Check out these awesome blacklight paintings! Some of them even added glow paint so they'd glow in the dark. Didn't they do a great job!? Feel free to tell them how much you love their paintings in the comments. If you'd like to join us sometime, check out the upcoming events. There's a ton of fun projects coming up. Find something you like, be brave and believe in yourself. Everyone can make art. I'll show you how. #partycreatively #artlyrocks #paintandsip #art #party #lynchburgva
Y'all, we had a ball last night making our clay sculpture chickens! We laughed a lot through the whole night. I mean, c'mon... These chickens are adorable, goofy and each one is unique to the person who created them. Everyone learned a lot about how sculpture comes together from making the bones, adding the muscle and then giving them life with expression, posture and stylish flair. I love working with clay. It's so much fun to start with empty space and a few basic tools then filling that space with a whole 3 dimensional character. Go ahead and tell them how much you love their chickens. And if you're inspired to come play with some clay, join us for the next one. There are lots of events on the calendar. Be brave, trust the process and come make some art with us. ♥️🎨🎉🥳🐔🌷♥️
Just out of pure curiosity... Is anyone interested in using this heavy body paint and a piping bag to make some GLORIOUS 3 dimensional flower art? Or is it just me? Hi, it's me, I'm the one who REALLY wants this (pricey) paint. The fabulous Gaffrey Family makes this amazing heavy bodied acrylic paint that I've coveted ever since I found them. If y'all are interested in trying out a more sculptural form of painting, let me know! I'll make the investment if you really want to try a new technique. Also, if you watch the video... Everything on the dinner table is 100% made of paint! I mean... WOW! 😮♥️🎨

I'm testing out new watercolor paper. I'm in love with this one! I can't wait to do the next watercolor class with y'all and use this paper. Yes, I realize what a nerd I am. I'm this excited about PAPER! Come paint watercolors with me sometime and you'll see why paper is a big deal for me. ♥️🎨🎉🥳
Happy Love Day, y'all. I've got my perfect little Valentine sitting on my lap getting belly rubs. The way he looks at me with those big brown eyes... Spike has so much love for me and I love him more than I knew I could. I hope you all have a wonderful day today and feel ALL the love with your favorite valentines. If you're in the lonely hearts club, that's totally ok! There are lots of sad puppers who want to be loved in a forever home. If you have the love and space to give, go adopt a pet from the Humane Society. There's nothing like the love you get from your fur family. ❤️❤️🐕🐾❤️❤️
Y'all... Candle making is FUN! For those of you that signed up but couldn't make it, I'm sorry you're under the weather and I hope you get well soon. We had so much fun making these wax roses and it's a shame ya missed it. The scent is amazing! Sandalwood, Rose and Vanilla... That's a delightful (and subtle) combination. What do y'all think about Sara's candle? Didn't she do a great job? She's never made a candle before or done any kind of sculpture work. I think she absolutely nailed it. I don't know about y'all but I'm hype to make more candles. If you're sorry you missed out, no worries. There will be more candle making in the future. Thanks for reading and watching the vid. Have a great day and come make art with me sometime. 😍🎨🎉🥳🐕🐾
Idk if y'all noticed, but I've been pretty quiet here lately. I haven't posted any new events or posted much at all, really. The truth is, I got some really bad news on Christmas Day that disrupted everything that is Artly. Don't worry, y'all... I mean, nobody died or anything. I just lost my whole entire website in a blink of an eye. The official answer is CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR. The reality is I've spent the last couple of weeks rebuilding my business entirely. I took a long loooooooong moment, breathed deep, and decided that this crappy situation is actually a blessing in disguise. I've been thinking about rebranding for the last year. I don't just teach paint and sip classes anymore. There's so much more to Artly now: acrylic and watercolor painting, clay sculptures, drawings, crafty things, etc. So I looked this CRITICAL SYSTEM ERROR in the face and decided that the time is now. Stay tuned for a whole new look to Artly Parties. (Yes, I dropped the Paint part.) Not only that, but I'm planning to add a new art form to the mix - needle and thread. Embroidery, cross stitch, plushies, and other sewing projects. I hope you'll enjoy trying something new. I know I'm excited about it. So stay tuned to see what's next for Artly Parties and me.
❤️🎨🎉🥳
