Cyndi has been playing with the unity of color and started with the blue tissue paper which led her to exploring blues. I love the different materials and notes! I tried the watercolor lettering exercise and also focused on one color as a warm up. I chose orange and was inspired by bursts of energy! For my main piece I'll be experimenting with embroidery.

It's been fun connecting on Discord! This was very new to me and now that I've had a chance to take a look and post, I am really loving it-- especially because sharing pics/videos from your phone is VERY easy and fast. We'd love to see you there, you can join by clicking here.
 
Have a good rest of your week! Talk to you soon,
