Here are some things I am liking this fine Friday –

I have been using smoked paprika a lot in recipes lately and I love to put it on fries, especially with an egg. Yums!

Zines and handmade books  are the subject of a new Creative Bug class which has totally made me want to make a zine or two.  I have been making sketchbooks lately and the zine format is very appealing.

The book I am now reading is Harmless Like You by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan and I am enjoying it so far.  I started a couple of books which I gave up on, but I think this one is a winner.

Neocolor II crayons are my art supply of the moment.  I used water soluble crayons in art collage about a hundred years ago but I have not revisited them until very recently.  I have a handful of colours and I love to use them with a little water or gesso to spread them around.

Handmade jewels used to be something I made all the time, I even sold some!  I haven’t made any jewelry for months and I had a root through my stash this week and pulled out some favourites to make into a necklace which can also be worn as a bracelet.

What are you liking this week?

Happy Friday x
