February: The Engine Driver

Challenge: alternative utensil

I know I’ve been doing a lot of watercolor in the past year, but I’m first and foremost a calligrapher (and a pen hoarder).

So, after a lot of foot-dragging, I’m finally getting around to swatching my pens and inks! Maybe I’ll put all this in a notebook later, but for now, these drawer-sized cards are perfect to grab and fill in whenever the adhd gods decide to favor me

Four drawers down, only 50 bazillion more to go 😅

January: 16 Military Wives

Mail time!! To celebrate finishing my MLIS (Masters of Library & Information Science), my postcard features library hand—which is what they used to fill out card catalog entries before the typewriter became popular :)

I have painted a giant thing, and it’s going to hang in my college library

It’s wild to look back at my first attempt at trees a year ago and remember how nervous I was about watercolor

October: The Bagman’s Gambit

Challenge: element of surprise

Joy is not made to be a crumb.

(Don’t Hesitate, by Mary Oliver)

This ee cummings poem is on its way to its new home this morning!

We started with the idea of an oft-read love letter (using my favorite walnut-gold ink!!), and scope-creeped our way into a watercolor background as well, and I just love how it turned out 🥰

September: The Sporting Life

Challenge: team effort

🍂 cronch cronch cronch 🍂

I didn’t plant anything in my garden this year, but I got a wild tangle of sunflowers anyway—lucky me!
