Hi

HI
how are you doing this Wednesday morning?

Using my newfound lettering skills...isn´t the word
HI just the perfect word to use when practicing.
I have around 20 different versions of this fabulous
little word.
I combined it here with some flower cut outs using my
Slice machine,,,my newest studio toy,,,and a great
way to use up that paper stash.

Penmanship

I recently finished a lettering course with Lori Vliegen.

My penmanship leaves a lot to be desired but I really feel like I have
made some headway and I really enjoy doing these one syllable words.

This is also a good way to use up all those leftover papers.

My paper stash is thrilled that I am finally using some of it.

Once I started I could not stop...it was so much fun!

I kept on going........

Then I switched to sepia ink.

Then I even started speaking French!!!

If you want to improve your penmanship go on over to Lori´s blog
and sign up for her Letter Lab class. She is a great teacher and the
class is so much fun!!
Thanks Lori....I really enjoyed myself.

Staying Warm


I normally love the cold but this cold spell we have been
having is even too much for me.
My fireplace has been my friend in the last weeks....so much
so that I had to paint it.

I hope you are staying warm.

Out My Patio Door


This was taken yesterday morning.
Yes, I live out in the middle of nowhere
but I love it out here in the countryside....away from the
hustle and bustle of the city.


The winter sunshine was trying to break through. It finally
did and we had a wonderfully sunny winter day.
I hope your weekend is full of sunshine.

Color Chart

Made some quick cards with Gouache.

Spent last weekend in a Gouache workshop.

I really like the consistency of Gouache. After doing these
color charts I kept going and made a few cards with
the same idea.

Enjoy your weekend.
