It was a fun challenge, to create this 3D planter box. Have a good weekend.
I decided to try something new this week... an unfortunate event, lead to a friends daughter needing surgery. I decided to make her a card to brighten up her day after a tough week. This called for something a bit nicer than just your 'run of the mill' get well card. I saw something similar to this on Pinterest (credit to Bronwyn Eastley) and I knew this was what I had to make.

Again, I've neglected my site. LOL Things seem to get away from me lately... just too much 'other' stuff on my mind, I guess. ;-) I decided to add a new page to my site, too. My Artwork. Some of it has been previously posted but now it's all in one place. If my work appeals to you and you'd like something done, please ask. I'd love to discuss a commissioned piece. Thanks a bunch. After kind of a crappy Saturday, I decided that I had to make up for it on Sunday! I did a few practice runs with my brush lettering and then did these. I also tried my hand at an abstract painting but it wasn't worthy of posting a pic. LOL Maybe next time. ;-)
Keeping this short but a reminder to everyone (and myself) to do something creative every day! Have a good week and get ready for February! :D Last fall, I started learning brush lettering after taking an online class by Amanda Arneill at SayItPretty.com. I really have to practice more often, though. She is so darn inspirational! I love listening to her tips and tricks. 👍 I would love to be able to draw amazing quotes for people like she does. Kuddos to her for doing what she loves. Only downside is that I 'need' to buy more and more pens (a bit OCD, I think 😉) but sadly, I have to wait. (My husband just got laid off 😁😢) Amanda recommends the Tombow dual brush markers and I love them too. They have a brush tip on one end and a fine tip on the other. You can write, draw and blend with them. They work really well for a watercolour looking background too! They are awesome markers and I can't get enough of them. LOL
I'll try to post more often... it's good for me too because it gets me doing this stuff more often. Have a good night. |
