weekend well spent

this was even more fun than I had hoped

long time no matcha latte at Cloud City Cafe

plant shopping at Molbak's

in the search of pink for #colorcolourlovers

new month, new challenge (via CreativeLive, day 2 prompt: houseplants)

day 3 prompt: album covers (I now want to just draw album covers)

pattern play

participating in the #patternjanuary challenge hosted by Anika Starmer (@aisforanika). I'm really excited for this project, I think it will be the perfect kickstart to my attempt of making something (almost) every day for 2016.

Day 1 prompt <<Happy>>

for me that always involves camping and being in the outdoors.

my jealous curator

The Jealous Curator is one of my favorite blogs ever - what an amazing idea (why didn't I think of it). for any type of creator, it's so true to see something and think "why didn't I think of that?!"
in my case this week, I've selected two artists.

the first I actually saw on Pinterest but was in fact posted via Jealous Curator: Shawn Huckins. his paintings are amazing. I've been collecting paint chip samples for decades, using them in collages or saving them because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. I just love color families.

secondly, these portraits from Erika Altosaar. such lovely, lovely lines.
