Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate. My plan worked, I learned a lot about procreate and I enjoyed to process. The biggest thing I learned was how very freeing being able to sit on the couch or the porch at night with just an iPad and a pencil was. There was no figuring out where to put supplies, or how to juggle a sketchbook on my lap, or being confined to the table. The other bonus ...
This week was a little more productive. I set a goal for myself to bust through some of the stashed goods in my studio. I have a lot of die cuts and pattern paper already cut and they aren't doing me any good hanging out in baskets and drawers.
I made a few Valentines for friends and family. I can say I spend a lot of time waiting for glue to dry. This little guy was left to dry when I headed off to work the other day.
Along with my goal to bust the die cuts and pattern paper, I'm clearing out the scraps from past projects. I did some cutting and organizing while watching some Kelly Latevola videos. I just love her.
I also got a little crazy with some scraps and did some paper piecing to create some custom pattern papers. If you want to see what I made check out the post Casing Pinterest - Scrappy Stripes.
I'm ending the week on a high note with 27 cards for a donation basket at our local library. These cards will be used by other community members to continue the Love for Lindsay project by sending encouragement to one of our own going through rehab for a spinal injury in the lower 48.
That wraps up this week's edition of Life of a Card Maker. I'd love to know your thoughts on this series. Do you enjoy reading these posts? Are there things from behind the scenes you'd like to see more of? Do you wish I'd just show you more card projects and drop this all together? Leave me a comment below. Have a great weekend!
