Caroline’s Recent Creative Projects

I haven’t done a post about some of Caroline’s creative projects in four years. Four! The last one was Caroline’s Creative Endeavors from July 2018.

Like many creative kids, Caroline goes through phases with different types of creativity. For her, these things are hobbies and not something she wants to make into a career. She doesn’t like being under pressure to create with a deadline. So she’ll have weeks where she spends a lot of her free time creating and then other weeks when she doesn’t do much. (If you’ve read my post Understanding Why Your Creative Child Is Lazy, you understand what I’m talking about.)




I asked Caroline if she wanted me to share some of her favorite things she’s been doing and she gave me several. I hope you enjoy them!

Painting With Posca Pens

Caroline enjoys using Posca Pens. Here are some canvas bags she worked on recently.

and

Drawing With Watercolor Dual Tip Markers

Caroline works sometimes with these markers.

This is a gift she wrapped for a friend with plain white paper (doubled layered) and then decorated. It was so cute in person!

Digital Art With Apple Procreate

Caroline drew this on her iPad with her Apple Pencil. She said this is similar to her Among Us avatar.

Beaded Necklaces and Bracelets

Caroline loves making these while watching videos. LOL! She’s made lots for friends and family members according to their individual interests. This is just a small sampling.

She usually buys her pony beads at Joann’s and Michaels. She especially likes Joann’s because you can buy the individual colors or a big variety bag. She uses primarily black stretchy elastic that she gets at Meijer for the base.

Bracelets

The six across the top all coordinate and they are really pretty in person. The clear beads actually have glitter/sparkle in them.

And more! She said the top right corner one is her favorite.

Necklaces

And more! The bottom one is one of my favorites.

So that’s a little update from the creative child in my home. I hope you enjoyed it!

    Caroline is so talented! I love the fish bag and she’s doing great with the digital art! E has been practicing digital art as well. I found a Wacom tablet on FB marketplace (the only reason I have a (friendless) FB account) that was one E had been wishing for that was about half the price of a new one and she used some of the birthday and Christmas money she’s been saving for years to get it. Thank you for sharing and tell Caroline thank you as well for showing us some of her projects!

    Procreate is awesome for artist kids. I love using it, and my daughter is on it all the time.

    I love her canvas bags, the koi is my favorite.

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
