have you ever tried a monochromatic painting–just using tints and shades of one color? i think its fun but sometimes challenging!
Hope you like what im working on.
Love,
Patty (:

He he! Just left a comment in Jeremys blog. His studio sure looks nice.
I understand how you must love your “new” place, it’s very inspiring.
I love you Elsie, you are the best!
Love your picture of Commercial Street. Looks like a lovely Street to take a stroll on.
Sweet! Another awesome piece of inspiration to ad to my blog!
Paper plane inspiration? (ok..no really, I’m going to send you one)
Hehe, have a good day off Elsie.

Love the picture,too! Going to go check up the shop update. ๐
I just went to the mail box and got a gift voucher from your store and from lovely Sandy and it has made my day.
The voucher is absolutely gorgeous and the little 1 to 10 list is so lovely. What a beautiful suprise.
I am going to go and search the store right this minute which means I must love everything you do because I have the flu, I sound like a trucker and it’s 10.38pm and I should be in bed because I’m a nanna!
Thank you kindly!

Inspiration?
I’m a songwriter so it comes to me by listening to others’ songs…
Maybe you should peruse all the eye candy linked above? I’m sure you do.
And then all the great online mags that have FANTASTIC design work. But I’m sure you do.
And then try that monochromatic stuff your first commenter mentioned. NOTHING gets me motivated like a challenge!
i don’t know if you mean paper airplanes literally, but here’s some i like ๐
