Enjoying some glorious days of sunshine with a cup of tea. The vessel is a Chinese teacup/pot called a Gaiwan and was a Christmas gift to me, along with the Sencha tea that brews to the most beautiful green.
Because I fall for letterpress thank-you cards that I can't afford to buy in bulk, I am attempting homemade cards. A good friend is set on encouraging my artistic endeavors and so she is to thank for the above set of watercolor pencils. I have always loved painting but don't trust my freehand abilities. The pencils allow for dependable color-blending with the relaxation of painting, as you go over the lines with a wet paintbrush to create a vivid, well, PAINTED appearance. I hate my absence of drawing ability but secretly love painting. Not many people know this little fact. Inside my thank-you cards are little phrases meant to compliment the front. I'm holding out for Snow & Graham to contact me as a freelance greeting card designer.
What are your favorite things to do during your free days?
it is a pretty color.
