So, my word for this year was CREATE. I think I've been doing pretty well so far, but a friend of mine has invited me to join her on a journey of learning hand lettering! There is so much more involved than I thought. Which is the correct writing implement? Should I draw in pencil first and then erase the errant lines after the ink is done? What paper is best - is it smooth enough, do I need lines or grids or just plain? How much design is too much? Or not enough? I think you get the idea! But I'm totally hooked and can't wait to find ways to put it to practical use!
My word for 2025 was "create". So far I've been continuing my adventures with watercolor as well as learning to do "doodle art" and lately I've been trying my hand at "hand lettering". They are all works in progress and each one has a different feel, but I've really enjoyed trying new things and creating art! This flat lay has samples of each style as well as the tools I use to create them.

Still refining my design aesthetic -- water color, hand lettering with images that evoke wanderlust for art and travel. This time the color palette is mint + pink/coral with pops of blue and yellow.
I'm always making things. If I'm not knitting, I'm quilting. But lately, it's been hand lettering. With paintbrushes. Who am I? I'm the girl that didn't think she was an artist because I couldn't draw. Luckily, I grew up and have realized that being an artist means what I want it to mean.

You can make any sign look fancy: just “put a scroll on it!”
