Gratitude Spiral: Day 345

Today, I’m grateful for a delivery of white illustration boards and special glue.

I’ve been wanting to create a collage using Eric Carle’s painted tissue paper techniques and now I have everything I need. It’ll take some experimenting, but playing around with these will be fun. Can’t wait!

Gratitude Spiral: Day 286

Today, I’m grateful for a new pad of acid-free translucent paper.

In my desire to experiment with Eric Carle’s painting and collage techniques, I’ve bought myself a pad of thin tissue-like paper. I’ve tried painting a few already. The pad has fifty pages and promises lots of trial-and-error learning and lots of fun. 🙂

Gratitude Spiral: Day 201

Today, I’m grateful for my craft room.

Now that most of our adult children have moved out, we have a few unclaimed bedrooms. One of them, I’ve taken as my craft/ everything room. I can paint, write, sew, meditate, work on photo & video projects, dream, & create, all in this one room. 🙂

Gratitude Spiral: Day 174

Today, I’m grateful for the paint delivery I received yesterday.

The paint manufacturer was closed for a while, due to the current pandemic. So, my order sat in limbo. But now I have some new colors in a special type of paint for use on outdoor projects. I’m so excited!

Gratitude Spiral: Day 154

Today, I’m grateful for wall decals — specifically the ones on the wall in my writing/ craft room.

They’re larger than life and just make me smile. Especially on cold, rainy spring days.
