One of my most asked about video is my "Lighting Ideas" video on making a string pendant light with string and an inflatable ball.  It is so easy and the result is gorgeous. I used a re inflatable exercise ball.  Not only is it large but it is perfectly round and easy to deflate. I have made many of these lights with the same ball. Watch my video below and create a dramatic looking string pendant light! Save a fortune! Click link below or visit my Channel: Christina Bell on a Budget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZLufAajl5M

It is my dream to open an art gallery in which I could offer affordable exposure for passionate,  talented artists. I dream of offering affordable art classes and events. Please support my dreams and in turn support the dreams of many creative, gifted artists who are just hoping to get their foot in the door:-) There is no greater feeling than having someone tell you they love a painting that you created with your very soul. ~ Christina Bell

This portrait is a reflection of how I feel during the long dark winter months. I stare out the window waiting for the buds to form on the trees. Truly a Summer kinda girl:-)  My sketch on paper.  Then painted canvas dark and used chalk to transfer image... Then used Acrylic pai...

I thought it would be fun to share some photographs of the constant flow of animals around my home. Deer Our first floor has a perfect window for feeding deer.  We simply throw out apples and fruit and watch them up close. Bears Now we know where our pond fish have been going! This bear gave the trampoline a try! lol! Skunks This curious young skunk attempted to climb our son's batting cage net and became hopelessly stuck. He hung upside down for a long time until our animal control officer could come rescue him. This pretty white mama wakes me often while she digs for slugs in front of my bedroom window. I had to take this picture with the "night" feature on my phone and it is through a screen so forgive it's quality. Toad This is "Mr. Jackson". He is a toad who lives under a shed on our deck. We named him Mr. Jackson after the Beatrix Potter character in The Tale of Mrs. ...
