Winter Sweetness Print

Elephant Limited Print

Blue Pumpkin Print

So fun and happy! I love all the little figures little faces and expressions!

Here's the print that I was inspired by

Can You Find Me? Print

Here's my take on the piece! I was inspired by the gorgeous use of color, and the circular forms! I am in love with the circles.

I created my own tree from patterned paper and cut it out, along with 

punching circles from other patterned paper.

I hand cut small blades of grass, and inked them. I added

the ribbon treatment, tie some baker's twine around and thread the buttons

To get the watercolor effect, I inked all the patterned paper

pieces with a variety of chalk and dye inks.
