Supply & Demand

My last order from Etsy earlier this week, wiped out my supply of woodland and paddle journals. So, I've been busy printing more and building up my supply. 
I also printed my woodland trees onto one of the larger journals as requested by a friend. :)
Happy almost Labor Day weekend! What are your holiday plans?

Paddle.Print.Inspiration.

Tim and I got back from our annual vacation/family reunion to the northwoods this week. While there, I enjoyed seeing the inspiration for what is my most popular print....the paddles! 
Hard to believe it's already August...HAPPY FRIDAY!

Inky Fingers

There has been lots of printing happening here lately! I had to print a few more Moleskines to fulfill the 'order' that will be dropped off at Paper Hat next week. Then, since I already had some brown ink mixed up and rolled out....I continued for a few more hours and printed some more paddle prints and notecards! 

Here's a glimpse at how the notecards turned out. I'm really happy with them and will be adding them to my shop next week!

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday - Tim and I had friends over for a barbecue and ice cream sundaes. Afterwards we walked along the river to view the fireworks over Minneapolis' historic stone arch bridge. What did you do for the fourth?

Perspective

Lots of draw, erase, and then repeat happening this morning....the perspective on this canoe is really tripping me up! Hopefully it's better now, walking away and will check on it later.
Hope you're having a good week!

Paddles and Petals

Two of my prints were featured in treasuries on Etsy this week...lucky me!
Wishing you a happy weekend! :)

My paddle print was on the homepage of mnartists the other day! Oh for fun! :)

Fresh Ink :: Paddle Oar Row

I'm really happy with how these prints turned out, although...I don't think I'm quite finished with them. I'm interested in experimenting with some other mediums to introduce another color or two into these prints. Has anyone tried using watercolors on Rives paper? If so, what were the results like? Hope you're having a good week :: almost FRIDAY!!!

Travel by Paddle

My next print will be of a few canoe paddles. I hope to be finished carving by early this afternoon and possibly printing before dinner...we'll just have to wait and see! Check back soon to see the final result! :)
