Appreciation

 
Happy May everyone!
Thank you so much for the sweet emails regarding
my bookmarks & painted rocks!
I appreciate your kind words & love hearing feedback as well.
I had a few questions regarding the paper used for the bookmarks.
My favorite paper, so far, is the Canson XL, cold press 140 lb
watercolor pad from Michaels.
LOVE THESE!
Canson paper is super tough for my projects & can handle
mutiple layers of paints, inks, paper..you name it.
An extra bonus is being able to use a coupon towards your purchase :o)

Inspired by a walk through the garden department
 at Lowes today,
I decided to paint this flower on a
1/4 inch thick wooden plaque.
After a recent purchase & trial of Liquitex inks,
the colors in this painting really pop. I love the yellow
in the flower & can't wait to try new colors this week!
