This weekend I took this painting off the shelf and decided to give it one more layer. I just wasn't happy with it at all. Sometimes I think I should leave paintings alone so I have a record of my progression as a painter, and then other times I look at something I can't help but change it. So I try to embrace it as just part of my creative process. I now have the feeling that it's finished and I am happy with it. It's available in my shop here. This is what the painting looked like before:
These are two cards I made last week. The first one has hand lettering over a watercolor sketch. I am really interested in improving my hand lettering right now. I would love to learn calligraphy, but I've tried over the years and it's just not in my wheelhouse. But brush lettering I can get behind. Or at least attempt it.
This second card is made using a faux metal technique I learned on Jennifer McGuire's blog. It's one of my favorite techniques right now. I created my own "hello" die-cut in Illustrator and then cut it using my Cricut. I've been buying a lot of wafer thin dies lately and then I thought about all of the cutting files I used to make, so I decided to save some money and make my own.
I'm seriously all over the place with my art & crafts! Who knows what I'll get into this week.
