decorating journals

I'm starting a new hobby! I've started decorating plain journals with fun and colorful designs! It's a great gift idea and more special than just buying some one a journal from the store. This way you can personalize it. Here is one of my favorite ones. This hobby is great for people who like to draw simple doodles but like making useful things.

Local Artist of New Bern, Hannah Mathiot

Hannah Mathiot is the co-owner of local business in New Bern called bear hands art factory. She's always been artistically inclined, I know this because shes my sister. She teaches kids art classes now at her art store and spends any extra time she has writing amazing comics or doing commissions. She has recently taken up the art of zen tangle and sometimes bombs the town with colorful rainbows of yarn. Here is some of her work.
