It seems as though everyone has a post about free or cheap Adobe CC alternatives, because that stuff is plain old expensive. So instead of copying someone else’s list, I thought I would focus on the ones I actually use and am planning to use, as well as the free or cheap design resources that have helped me.

It’s been a long time coming, but this week I finished the 250 pewter coin, and with it, the first phase of my money artworks.

I’m not a jeweller, but since I started casting pewter I’ve been tempted to try to make some wearable art. This week I spent some time casting pewter paint tube pendants as it was the kind of artist’s gift I’d love to own myself.
