It’s probably fairly obvious, if one looks at the date of my last post, that I have not been good about updating this blog. In fact, I haven’t even looked at the last post’s date so I don’t even know how long it’s been.
The delay is because I’ve been BU-SAY doing all sorts of neat stuff like, putting together work for two art shows, going to Maui and San Francisco, not to mention raising my baby girl. However, at 20 months, she’s not much of a baby anymore.
So, I wanted to get back into this and I decided to show some things I have been working on, as of late.
First, we have a sketch with watercolor and paper of San Francisco….
I plan to turn this into a painting, it won’t be exactly like this, but this is the longest time I’ve had to plan a painting in months so I’m thinking it going to be be pretty sweet.

And next, we have a gift tag that I made for a family member’s bridal shower that uses, more paper, watercolor, and, of course, the Cricut Wedding Solutions cartridge. I thought I had no more need for this cartridge, but alas, here were are.

The reason I am so happy with this tag, besides the fact that it turned out really nice, is that it came from paper scraps that I have hoarded over the past year. So, I learned something today, hoarding paper scraps, is ok. 🙂
And, this is what the tag looks like, on the bag.
Well, that’s it for today. I’d like to say I’ll be better at this, but all I will do is try. 🙂 -Gia
