Things I do instead of the internet #1

Since attempting to disengage from the internet a little bit more I've been reengaging in being a little arty.

Yesterday I went to a friend's house with some fellow crafty ladies. This particular friend is a painter who allowed us into her studio and gave us use of her supplies. She showed us amazing things we'd never dreamed of - like watercolor pencils and gauche paint. She showed us a lot of the artwork hanging in her home and told us about all sorts of different mediums.It was unbelievably fun. I cannot wait to paint again.

And last night I was at Emily's house and her house was decorated with a Valentine's day felt heart garland. I came home and made a couple for our house.

And then I thought, shoot, let's put some of this felt on some cards.

I've been limiting myself to what I already have on hand, no purchasing new supplies allowed. That little rule has been great on the ol' budget - but it's also opened up new things for me. Especially in the area of color. These colors for instance are not my traditional first choice (that orange has been sitting on my shelf for a while), but I've decided I really like them.

They're embarassingly simple I know. But shoot. That's the way I like things.
