Expressive Flowers

Always blooming with you

I sat under a tree. It was a hot day but the breeze and the color of the plants,flowers, and rocks had me focused on the moment. I took deep breathes. I felt energized and revived.

Now that I have the layout down, it’s time to glue. Oh, and I need to use white ink to write the word with inside the pink bloom.

These letters aren’t perfect. I did use a pencil to draw a few of the letters but mostly just cut. Good letters. Good color scheme. Nature you’re always cheering me on. Thank you to the fan who posted the words, you’ve got skills. When I was done cutting and pasting, your words came to mind. Not that I’m boasting, but I do have skills. I’m going to keep going and keep creating. In the words of Tabitha Brown, it’s my business.

What, a week into this journal and I’m already in a playful mood. Good!

Fun Collage Lettering

…and the digitizing continues. Usually I work on fun projects during the weekend. Yesterday I painted and discovered that using the right paper really does make a difference. I mixed up a beautiful emerald green and I forgot what else I learned.

Today I finally got to do some fun collage lettering. I picked up some origami paper at Daiso. I spread out my supplies and I was happy.

Art is my happy place. I could add this technique to my fall workshop. Yes now all I need is some fun quotes to work with.
