Last week I decided to start painting again. It was a perfect time to start - with J's birthday, another close friend's birthday, and the lunar new year coming up, I wanted to paint cards for these occassions. A fantastic way to save money and squeeze out some creativity juice! So I busted out my ArtBin Upscale 3 Tray Box, travel easel, and box of goauche paints. (Goauche is my favorite painting medium. They're perfect for illustrations!) The living room became a disaster area while I commenced work, but I was very pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my friend's card before I mailed it. And J's birthday card contains an inside joke that wouldn't make sense to anyone...
