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 ...
I'm really enjoying stitching tags. This is an easy way for me to take my creativity on the go, then complete cards when I get back in the studio. I used my MFT Crosstich Tag die and one of the heart patterns from their free resource page along with some purple variegated DMC size 3 thread. To complete the card I cut a tag topper of purple cardstock, added some purple gauze ribbon and a bit of matching thread from the heart, mounted it onto some grey polka dot pattern paper from my stash and added it to a matching purple card base.
