D: Drawing

These sweet adorable bees are so easy to draw!

Draw an egg-shaped body, a few stripes, and a face 😊

And you can easily make them your own by adding a fun accessories!

What are YOUR bees up to today?

That's what our members did at the Happy Creators Collective. Here are a few inspirations 🥰

To learn how to draw your own kawaii art, I invite you to join us at the Happy Creators Collective!​

Later this month, we'll make fun patterns with our bees.

Even a few simple drawings can transform into a beautiful product collection! 😊

R: Resource

Speaking of patterns, I just discovered this app for drawing patterns on the iPad and seeing the live preview of the pattern as you draw it 🤩

It's called PatternDraw, and it's a total game changer!

A: Affirmation

My biggest adventure right now is creating content to share on social media (with all its ups and downs 😆).

I am realizing how much I still need to learn to even "be in the game", even thought I've been making videos for years.

The logical mind is quick to offer thoughts, like "What's the point of spending hours to make a 30-second clip?" 😅

But then again, the only sure way to lose the game is to not play. And every time I press "Publish" I learn something.

So here is this week's affirmation:

Keep walking!

You can see my latest content efforts on YouTube Shorts 😄

W: Wonder

Here is this week's question to wonder about:

Have a beautiful week! ❤️

With love,
Tatyana
