Curved Vines Pattern

I used my new Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to paint these lovely curved vines.  Then I scanned them and turned them into brushes in Photoshop and created this summery looking repeat pattern.

The print is available for sale in my Society6 store.  I also love this pattern as a phone cover (see below).

My Chat with Mixed Media Artist and Designer Margaret Applin

I recently had the pleasure of connecting with Margaret Applin and had the chance to share with her how much her her online workshops have inspired me.  If you're not familiar with Margaret, you should definitely check out her blog.

Margaret is a mixed media artist who loves to experiment with a range of mediums and digital techniques.  Through Interweave you can purchase a number of her incredibly valuable workshops to learn how to create personal imagery with stencils and stamps and how to incorporate your handmade art into the digital realm.

You can read her latest blog post where she interviewed me about how my own art has evolved and what specifically about her workshops I found most valuable.

Margaret also just launched her own line of stencils through Joggles Inc. which are wonderful!  Here she demos these fabulous design tools.
