I had a birthday recently, and was gifted gold inks and a stamp set from Notebook Therapy. I swatched the two inks with one of the stamps from the set. It comes in a lovely storage box! The Ferris Wheel Press ink is Sparkling Champagne and the Winsor and Newton is Gold. For the other colors, I used the Kuretake Art Nouveau palette, which is such lovely paint in a more opaque watercolor formula. Look at that golden shimmer! Grab the Winsor & Newton gold HERE!

Tombow & Gouache Sunset Painting
Well, Monday morning is doing its thing! My computer isn't responding much. It's over eight years old, so it probably has been running longer than expecting for as much use as it gets.

I created a seamless pattern design (and collection coming in the future) from this little guy and entered him into Spoonflower's Leap Year Frog challenge. The link to vote is ... View the Post
HIMI Gouache Paintings & VIDEO
Gouache is such a great medium. It takes the best of watercolor with the best of acrylic and then adds a lovely matte finish! There are expensive gouaches, but for the digital work that I do, I enjoy using the HIMI gouache sets. Below, are pictures of several mini paintings. I have used most of them in pattern designs already! The rich colors and layering capability makes gouache a great choice if you want bolder color and texture. Video at the bottom of the post! The gingerbread ... View the Post

Here is a collage of wintery flowers in bright, happy colors. I have a tutorial video below, as well as pictures of some of the pattern designs I created from this painting. ... View the Post
