Back When I Had More Time (and Patience)

Long ago, before the days of children underfoot, I painted a couple of really intricate (and insane) watercolor "quilts". Looking at them now I can't believe I had the time or the inclination to paint them, but I remember thinking it was fun, if not a little tedious, at the time. If memory serves me correctly, each one took about 40 hours to complete.

I spent a bunch of money to make professional photographic prints of them, but never really had much of venue to sell them.

Now that I know about Etsy, I'm dragging my prints out of the closet where they've been safely tucked away for years. Hooray for Etsy!

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my blog! In short, I'm a wife, mother, artist, and just happen to have been born with an insatiable need to create beautiful things. I've categorized my creative endeavors into seven main areas, hence the 7 Layers; Textile/Pattern design, Sewing, Photography, Interior/Landscape design, Painting/Drawing, Monotypes/Printmaking, and Baking/Cake Decorating. There. I think that's 7(ish). You're welcome to use any of my ideas for personal use, but please do not copy and sell the things/ideas you see here without my permission. Thanks, and enjoy!
