This week has been absolutely so busy so far and I have hardly had any art time. I was able to finally get myself out of bed early this morning and did a bit of sketching and painting before the kids were up, and got in a bit of exercise too. Hopefully I can get back into the routine of that again, it really makes the morning a lot more enjoyable than getting up and feeling behind from the get-go.
In this spread I really love the way the vibrant colors contrast the paler neutrals. The imagery of the branch and the beetle make for a good pairing as well. There are a lot of intricate patterns and details that make for a lot to look at. I really enjoy when collages have a patchwork effect. Quilting is near and dear to my heart and I’m always happy to see quilt themes popping up in my work. I think what I enjoy most of all is the hand lettering. I really need to get back to my lettering practice. It truly is such an enjoyable part of my art practice. And the bold black really makes for an impactful aesthetic.
I am very much looking forward to celebrating Easter with my family this weekend and rejoicing over what Jesus accomplished for us.
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful. I really love the patchwork effect as well, especially with the stitches, and the bold black lettering. You continue to inspire me to want to buy a sewing machine!

My husband got me an inexpensive sewing machine for a birthday gift when we first got married. It worked half decently enough for sewing baby items for my kids but I must say that this newfound purpose suits it perfectly! I hope you get a sewing machine to try soon too!And thank you for your kind comment ❤️

Beautiful! Love the patchwork collage and the stitched elements. I recently bought a sewing machine, but I’m still intimidated by it! I enjoy slow stitching on my mixed media pieces, but I do want to gather the courage to learn how to use the sewing machine!

I was intimidated for a long time too, but when you start, it is pretty addictive! For me having some paper layers was key to getting a good hold with the stitches, when I practiced on a single unlayered page it didn’t work as well. If you do try, I would love to see!
Thank you for your comment ❤️
