How to make watercolor paints.
As summer keeps us company and most of us go on holidays. I wanted to clear my mind to start my 2 weeks of time for myself. I have been watching a few videos about paint making and looked up some pigment information.
After picking out some non poisonous ingredients and special tools I was ready to start. I started my first batch on the first day of my vacation and was pleasantly surprised at how time flew by. It was really peaceful, without me thinking and pondering about things I had no control over at that moment
This is exactly why I wanted to share this diy gem with you guys.

Think positive, be happy and create happiness
We like to collect little bits of happiness everywhere we go. Our travels, our work, our home, everywhere we can find little things that give us a good feeling.
When I look through a magazine I notice myself being drawn to certain images. Either the beauty of them catches my eye, or they make me feel a certain way. Whenever I see something that makes me feel happy, I want to look at it longer and more often.
