The Hanna Post Cards!

This will be the fourth year that I have participated in IHanna's postcard swap. http://www.ihanna.nu It is a fun little exchange that she puts on a couple of times a year. Not only do you create lovely little pieces of art to give away, but you receive sweet bits of art in the mail, as well. In previous years I have worked in watercolour, but this year I thought that I would play with a little bit of collage. The next swap takes place in late winter/early spring and it is a nice way to meet other artists from around the planet. 

Calendar in the Works

 

So I am currently working on creating a desk calendar before the new year. I sketched the florals and watercoloured theme. From there, I uploaded them and will tweak them in a paint program. I still have a few left to add, but will get there!

Art Every Day Month - Day 2

For this month long project, I am painting little 12cmx12cm papers using gouache, watercolours, and acrylic inktense sticks. Illustrated children's books are a favourite source of imagery for me, so this month, they will be my inspiration.

Art Every Day Month! - Day 1

Building the creative habit, starting with roses in November (because it is has been so mild here, that I still have roses in the garden!)
