Painting does make me happy.

For a few weeks, I've been a little worked up over switching jobs, interviewing and that sort of not so fun stuff. Dakota said a few nights ago, "You NEED to paint again, you're much happier when you paint."
I've always thought in the back of my mind that I paint because I am happy... maybe I've had it backwards all along.
Tonight's painting... let's just say I'm feeling pretty great right now, and my husband is pretty great too.

More Lettering

Still on a hand lettering kick. Today I decided to write down the names of all of my nieces and nephews. Practicing different letters and different versions of the same letter.Again, I look to Pinterest and Instagram for letter styles and techniques. I'm not the greatest but I am seeing improvement.

Sewing from Clothing

I've been working on these bears for a few weeks now and they are finally finished! These bears are made out of clothes from someone's loved one. I'm really please with how they turned out! If you have old clothes or clothes that mean a lot to you, you can always find a pattern to sew with them.

Hand lettering

Lately I've been wanting to expand my art but learning how to do more with hand lettering. At this point I am just looking through pinterest and instagram to find letter examples. It's also nice to just draw in a sketchbook.
