I finished knitting my cowl just in time for spring!

I'm trying to do my fashionable serious face.

Happy Valentines!!

Just playing around with some type treatments using watercolor for Valentines Day!

Watercolored Origami Patterns

Sometimes I just want to draw patterns. I especially love origami. I found this one that really inspired me to create something. I'm also playing around with watercolors, which I'm not used to using. I love the effect of transparencies watercolors can create. I interpret the pattern using watercolor, then scan and create fun things in photoshop and illustrator. Once I saw the little flower shapes it made me think of something very feminine and soft. Maybe this could be a perfect hairpiece for a wedding?
