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.

We did it!

In case any of you were curious, the wedding was perfect. Now to focus again on other art work!

More Wedding Signs

I'm so excited about how these signs are coming out! My parents had their barn redone on the outside so there are so many scrap pieces left over! I will definitely post more pictures of these signs once we have the wedding!

Wine Label Progress

Another post about the adventures of my parents starting a winery in Carlisle,  PA. During this time of year they are focused on the blackberries and grapes and making wine! Something they really need to start producing soon is a label for the wine bottles. Here is what I have created so far. It still needs work and each wine type will have the same basic boarder with the fruits around that made the wine. I'm liking it so far, digital illustration can be so cool!
