My Goodness


Life just contains too many things right now!
And I ate too much chocolate, so now I feel weird .

Hopefully, better posts will follow later this week. Hold onto your socks!

Happy Commission


This was a fun one!

I've done quite a few cut-paper collages in the past, but creating a digital collage was delightful. I scanned tons of paper I had lying around, then chose the ones I liked best. Although I was using a wacom pen rather than scissors, I still cut my shapes out first, then moved them around, playing with various arrangements and placement. The digital aspect allowed me to caper about with color changes and pattern size, making little adjustments here and there.

I did perhaps miss out on some of the happy accidents that occur with hand-assembly, but the flexibility of working digitally was just plain fun :)

They're just so fun to draw.

Happy Friday!

...So relieved that the weekend has arrived!
I'll be spending it finishing up commissions, constructing bright yellow tissue paper poofs for the wedding, and enjoying some much needed peace & quiet :)

Keeping my fingers crossed for a fair-weather picnic on Sunday. Enjoy your weekends!

So Fun

Every so often, I get to work on a commission that I absolutely love.


Here's a little peek at such a piece I'm working on for my neighbor. Will post the finished collage in a few days :)
