New paints for a new project
July 10, 2008
Have you seen the project that Emily, Rachel, Alicia and Heather are doing? If not, you really should check out echoes. I was enamored with it immediately. They have a flickr group so that the rest of us can play along. I joined.
Although I am feeling a bit frenzied, running around, trying to get ready for our trip, I am still taking ten minutes to paint a little something every day. It's been way to long since I did anything artistic that didn't involve fabric, thread or yarn. It feels so good.
You're quite talented with the paintbrush. Is there anything you cannot do?

I'm loving my few moments to create something each day too. Sadly, I don't paint. Really. But I'm loving yours.

Erin,
I want to thank you so much for your free tutorial on the Sunny Day Dress. This is only the second thing I have ever made for my girls and they turned out so cute. It took me 4 trips into town to find elastic thread.
Stop by my blog to see the finished products.

This would be fun to do a collabo with the kids! They can pint and you can write or whatever. Thanks||||||||

That is just beautiful! I was very into watercolors about two summers ago. The other day I was digging through some craft boxes and found them! Maybe I'll have to dip into them this afternoon.
