April Recap
Hello hello! Its a brand new month! The last few weeks flew by and I don’t have a ton of new updates to be honest. One of the things I did do which was actually quite fun was testing out a few different types of watercolor paper. I think a more detailed breakdown of the results would make a great blog post at some point but for now here is just a fun photo collage. It gave me new information about some of the materials that I have worked with and I could compare them side by side with the same motif each time.

Speaking of motif, the motif was a riff on something I made quite awhile ago on my iPad in Procreate and have been wanting to play with in traditional media. And after my traditional media experiment I wanted to go back to digital and play with the motif again but this time in repeat pattern form. #throwback to my pattern making days. The mock up of this pattern came together so quickly and I’ve had such a good time playing with different color combinations and brainstorming companion patterns. Maybe a mini collection on Spoonflower is in order soon? Regardless its been really gratifying and a great exercise to be able to take something so simple and use it in so many different ways.
