There are so many talented artists there, that share their blogs
throughout the weekend.
It's always inspiring to see what everyone has been up to.
I feel like I am missing c o f f e e with my friends
when I haven't gotten a chance to link up and visit.
So, today I'm sitting here with cappucino in hand, reading and sharing....
I'm getting excited about something that I have been planning for a while,
and now am feeling like may come to fruition.
I love to work in watercolor, and I love making my decoupage plates.
I've been thinking about applying m y o w n graphic watercolor art
to the plates rather than the usual graphic patterned papers I find to create with.
I have done this in the past, but with existing watercolor pieces that I'd already done.
The difference here, is that I am actually creating the art for a specific plate, and words.
It's coming together and feeling good.
And if it's f e e l i n g g o o d, then I must
be listening to that i n n e r v o i c e!
(do you ever wonder what she looks like- that inner voice chick?
I wonder if she's cute- young- old- floating around or buzzing like a hummingbird-
maybe even sporting red hair like me?)
So- this week, you get an unofficial peek at the process...
the "inner voice chick" is still giving direction,
but I am happy with the path she's put me on.
~my graphic blooms~
~sweet little birdie~
~playing with placement~
~leaves:: one of my favorite things~
~another beginning~
All of the plates are in process- should be fun to see what develops through the week!
What does your i n n e r v o i c e chick look like?
I may have to paint mine- she's starting to reveal herself more and more.
p.s. a sneak peek at another "soon-to-be" listing on etsy at twig2neststudio

Like meeting up with friends to share what we are doing! ♥ I love your watercolors. They are gorgeous. And a perfect idea to use your own art on the plates!! Yay for listening to that inner voice!
