Hug Life! and Believe in You - Week 21

5/24/2018

0 Comments

 
This week I added Hug Life and Believe in You to last week's Be Kind and Live in Joy blocks. I think the four of them make a happy little set!
Picture
Hug Life
It is precious.
Care for it.
Love it.
Honor it.
Respect it.
Enjoy it.
It is your one and only.
​Hug Life!
Believe in You
because
YOU
are
WORTH
believing
in.
Believe in You!

PS - As with all the pieces that I create this year for the One a Week Art Challenge, the original is not available for sale until early 2019 when I host my celebratory art show.

PSS - I do have prints available of both of these colorful pieces.

Creating New Papers, digitally

5/20/2018

0 Comments

 
I love to use recycled paper to create my collages, but sometimes I like to make my own textures. Recently I created a few new ones on my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.

Here are a sampling of some of the textures that I have printed to use in my collages.
The app that I am using to do this is Procreate (I know, it is an unfortunate name). It is an amazing app and has lots of different brushes that create some awesome textures and patterns.

​Here is a time-lapse video of the creation process.
Creating these papers designs has been so much fun and I can't wait to use the papers!

​Which one is your favorite?

Make it a HAPPY Day!

Week 20 of my One a Week Art Challenge is complete! This week I created a set of two optimistic pieces, Be Kind and Live in Joy.

​I am digging their bright colors and cheerful messages.
Picture
Be Kind
​Smile.
​Say "Please" and "Thank You".
Give compliments.
Hold open a door.
Send good vibes.
Forgive.
Let someone cut in line.
Listen without judgement.
Donate to a non-profit.
Volunteer.
Stop complaining.
Send flowers.
Write a friend a letter.
Pick up litter.
Be honest.
Give hugs.
Cheer on others.
Say "Hello" to strangers.
Be  empathetic.
Give grace.
Hide inspiring notes for others to find.
Call a friend just to say "Hi!"
Tell loved ones that you love them.
​Smile more.
​
​Be Kind!
Picture

​Make it a HAPPY day!
Live in Joy
Love life.
Be optimistic.
See the good.
Choose Happy.
​Dream Big.


And still,
There will be fear.


But,
To live in joy,
Fear does not lead.
Dreams and passions,
Are in charge.
And,
Joy prevails.

Live in Joy!
