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.

I am sharing this with Simply Less is Moore.

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.
