Lots of Watercolor

I haven’t been too on top of updating this blog during what I figured would be the transition time from this blog to my new one, a is for anika, so I thought I’d offer a little update.

I’ve been testing out Daniel Smith watercolors lately, in preparation for ordering from them–which I did, and I should get my new paints next week!

Here are a few of the images I’ve created and written about lately:

If you are still subscribed to this blog and want to check out what I’ve been up to lately in more detail, stop by my new blog and say hi!

shell prints

After experimenting with stone prints, I tried something similar with a big piece of shell.

shell with holes

The surface was very uneven, and there was a big hole going right through. I wasn’t sure how well it would make contact with the surface of the paper, but decided to try it out.

Want to see how it turned out? Go read the full post on my new blog. :D

a is for anika blog

I’ve just posted my first entry on my new blog at a is for anika.

The subject was particularly perfect for a first entry on my new site, so I won’t cross post it over here. You’ll just have to go over there to see what it is!

I’ll still be posting on this blog for a while, but they’ll only be partial entries or introductions to the full entries that I’ll be posting on my new site.

It’s been a long time coming and I’m really thrilled about finally making the transition to the new blog and the new name. I hope you’ll follow me over there!
