I decided to give bubble painting a go in an effort to break my art block and do what I need and want to do! Turns out the photos were a lot cooler than the effect dry, but this was playing and making for fun so it's ok. I'm going to start building onto these little paintings tomorrow.

I was enjoying how the light was playing on this washi tape piece I made. I'm going to finish it & take it with me to Brewery art walk.
I just had the extremely alarming realization that Art Walk is only 3 weeks from now. I'll be painting like crazy between now and then!!

Sometimes we have to show the falls too: I was trying to transfer inkjet photos into my sketchbook and onto postcards. I failed. I'm sad about it because I had a project in mind for a gift... I will continue to experiment and hopefully figure out a technique that works for me.

I had a pretty rough day with my COPD/allergies, but made sure to do some new gel print collage pieces. My first time trying this technique and I REALLY like it! I'm running headlong into making the tiny paintings, bookmarks, and postcards. Tomorrow I am going to play with markers and foils!

Doing this pair of tiny paintings was so fun. I think I will do another version this weekend. Maybe a finch? Or a crab? What do you think?

This is a little painting I did with acrylics and some layers of holographic mylar just for fun. It's painted on a playing card. I quite like using playing cards as paint surfaces.

I embroidered flowers to embellish fingerless gloves for my friend. The dissolving fabric does strange things sometimes; I am never sure if the stitches will hold or if it will fall entirely apart. It held up okay, except the leaves, but I made it work and I think the final project was pretty neat!

Today was my birthday. We enjoyed some home cooked dinner with friends and I finished this tiny giraffe painting. I'm so excited about it!

My hubby made these wooden rhombohedron shapes for me quite some time ago. I treated each side with a different technique or medium. I think I will make some more of them this year. I have some ideas! 🤔

I have been having fun making these bookmarks and be trying out different materials and styles. The big question now: how to finish them? Do I need to buy a laminator?

My office assistant, Bets, is having a very chill Friday. I had to make her a little nest in a rolling cart because she was being very demanding. Now she's loving life.

I decided to start an art challenge this week to push me along. This is for #100tinytreasures
I picked a 2" x 3" format and started out with watercolors, paint markers, and Sharpie.
I like these small format pieces! What do you think?

Sometimes it's fun to make doodles and scribbles with new paint markers! I really enjoy doing these kinds of meditative exercises in my art journal.

This is my workspace today. I'm trying to shake myself back into regular painting but it's always a bit of a slow start. What does your workspace look like?

Flipping through some of the monoprints I did last year. They are SO fun to do! These are going to be backgrounds for a new series of paintings. Each one is unique. I think some would look great on textiles 🤔 Which do you like best?

This is a Zentangle in my sketchbook; getting back to making art & challenging myself. My focus has been very shaky lately. Started new bullet journal to help me meet goals too.
But then I wonder, is 9:12am too early to have a nap? (I go to bed late and very rarely choose to be up this early.)

I made a post yesterday but forget to hit "Post", which probably tells you everything you need to know about my mindset! This week I am going to shift to #onlybeautifulthings

We have taken off on our TNR mission with the local cats. I was fortunate to be connected with a lovely woman who is helping me deal with the colony. On Thursday we had our first 3 done - Betty, Cutie, and a huge Siamese male dubbed Emerson. The girls have already forgiven me.

2025 is certainly off to a running start! We did deco for a Cyberpunk NYE party which was pretty great. Welcomed the new year with Los of friends and our 19th anniversary. Just as we were getting going for the year, Los Angeles caught fire. I have lists of resources for impacted folks on my FB.
