Today, I’m reviewing IUILE’s Halloween 2021 Set of Handmade Shimmer Glitter Watercolor Paint Half pans with six Halloween-inspired colors. These are cosmetics-grade mica and glitter paints with colors to suit the season, as well as many other subjects.
If you’re like me, the first question you have is, “How do I pronounce that!?” IUILE is pronounced “”oo-leh”.

For our prompt of “Flutternutter” today, I first had to look up what the heck this was! It’s actually National Fluffernutter Day as well for those who love what is apparently a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich on toasted white bread. I’ve never had one of these, and I have to say, I don’t think it would be something I would enjoy. Even as a kid, I never really liked marshmallow creme…

For our prompt of “Bad Hair Day,” I sketched a cat looking in the mirror. Often, how we perceive ourselves can be a lot less flattering than the actual reality. As I stared in the mirror this morning, I thought I looked rather bedraggled like this kitty’s reflection, but I think I cleaned up a little better than I imagined in the end. I did have a few stray hairs standing up on my head, but…

For today’s prompt of “Candle,” I sketched a little hamster holding one while dressed up like a witch for Halloween. It’s starting to become what Philippe and I refer to as spooky season. We don’t like anything gory or terrifying when it comes to Halloween, but we adore watching spooky shows and movies. Many of these are meant for children, to be sure, but it’s so much fun to be immersed in…

For our prompt of “Mouse” today, I sketched a little one jumping out of some autumn leaves. This is my favorite time of year and I’m thrilled that it all starts this coming weekend. My little mouse is demonstrating just how my Inner Child feels right about now. Truly, I’m getting so giddy with anticipation that it’s almost becoming difficult to concentrate. The temperatures will be dropping soon…

For our prompt of “Goldfish” today, I sketched a rather ridiculous scenario of a fish swimming outside its bowl. While this is literally impossible, this concept is often used to describe the feeling of being thrust into an unfamiliar place or situation. It’s basically that unsettling feeling of pushing outside of one’s comfort zone. Inside that safe haven that we know so well lies a treasure…
