TGIF...

How did it get to be FRIDAY again?  This week has had me doing some production work for clients...not what I had in mind for this week, but hopefully Saturday I'll get to do some new designing just for me.  I really need to just get out in the studio & let go!  I don't know what I want to do specifically, except that I want to change things up a bit.  Maybe play with watercolor...pastels... colored pencils...all mediums that I like working with, but just haven't played with in awhile.  I'm thinking of buying an Epson Pro series 3800 printer, if you have one what do you think of it?  I want to have a great printer to reproduce my art to sell...as far as I have read it seems to be the one to go with...SHARE your thoughts with me if you have a 3800 Epson.  THANKS in advance.

Here is a snapshot of a pattern that is one in the series called SUMMER DAYS!

FOLLOWING YOUR HEART...

I think we have had our 2 'allotted' weeks of summer...now it's back to rain...I have to say that I'm  truly over this weather this summer (?) 
As far as creative things...I'm going in a new direction.  While awaiting updates on some of my 'licensed' designs...I'm going to venture into exploring with different mediums, techniques & papers.
I have been working for about 2 years on creative that has to work for various clients, & I now want to do some artwork because it calls to me.  I do not want to worry when I start creating...that my colors are too BRIGHT,  or my drawing doesn't look right or is it on TREND?  I am going to draw just because I have to do it...whatever calls to me.  What can I say...It is time for me to not listen to outside voices & just go with what my heart feels.
