My Latest Obsession: Washi Tape

My latest obsession! I must get more!

Washi tape is simply masking tape in pretty designs and colors. 

How will I use Washi Tape? Decorating my sketchbooks, attaching notes to my Etsy sales, and adding a little extra support to envelopes. I'm sure Mazzy could come up with a few things herself!

What are you obsessed with today?

If I Could Think of Another Title

...besides "NEW ART!", then I suppose I would title this post something else, hah. It's early Monday morning, and I want to share what I worked on for most of Saturday afternoon. It started out as a sketch (Here's the Sunday Sketchbook post) and now it's a full-blown painting!

I used Sharpie markers for the lines, and colored it in with India Ink and Watercolors.

I'm thinking about getting prints of this one soon!

First Look into the Studio

I've painted the work area of my studio a bright teal. I can't even tell you how much I love that color! It's so pretty! Pictures and posters are being placed on the wall and I'm working through my to-do list bit by bit. 

Of course, when all of this is going on, I come down with some sort of stomach bug. Looks like life is saying, slow down, spend some time in bed. So I've been sleeping on and off all day. I've been trying to enjoy it, and relax a little but I can't help but think of everything I need to do. Oh well. So it goes!

Making Plans

Last week, Mazzy said she wanted a dry erase board. I wasn't sure what she would use it for. Perhaps she'll just draw on it? Well, I definitely didn't expect a to-do list! While I was putting away laundry this morning, I came across "Mazzy's Plans". How adorable is this? She's watched me make to-do lists for years and years, and she's now making her own. 

Sunday Sketchbook

Working on an idea for a new watercolor painting. I really don't need to start another project, but this idea had to get out before I forgot about it.
