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!
