Poor little neglected blog...

I am so sorry, lil' Blog, that I have neglected you. Here you sit waiting for a new blog post and I procrastinate and make you feel sad. My sincerest apologies, Blog. For those that are reading this, it would really make Blog feel better if you checked out our Etsy store -- www.frozenyoga.etsy.com Blog would feel better yet if you purchased something but looking is good too :)

Now that we've gotten past that. Today's blog post is all about things we love about different art supplies. Please feel free to add your own in the comments. If we get enough response I'll create a master list on one of our blogs. Let me make this list official...

What FrozenYoga Loves About Art Supplies...

- The smell of a Sharpie marker
- Peeling dried glue off of our hands (as kids, it was fun to pretend this was our skin peeling off...I know, kind of gross)
- The smell of Rubber Cement (why do so many art supplies smell so good?)
- Sharpening colored pencils -- nothing better than a freshly sharpened pencil
- Squishing clay or model magic in our hands
- Separating beads or glass pieces in separate jars...reminds us of pretty colors in a candy store!
- Peeling dried paint off the sides of cans
- The excitement we get from opening up brand new supplies or tools
- A blank canvas and all of its possibilities
- Gesso -- I love priming stuff -- the smell, the way it always gets all over my hands...it's fun!
- Vintage paper and photos - I love when I find one that I immediately connect with or instantly think of a possible story behind it

Ok readers -- now it's your turn. What do you love about specific art supplies?

Thanks for checking us out. And again, Blog, my sincerest apologies for neglecting you...I'll try my best not to let it happen again.
