World Watercolor Month 2023

I am taking part in World Watercolor Month. I was tempted not to, there is already so much on my to do list. I know you know exactly what I mean. 😄

But I missed my colors. And brushes. And I am so enjoying my “new” desk. I have two other large projects going, and I am squeezing out a tiny little spot to paint these tiny little pieces. Even still, the work area feels so much more spacious. Ahhhh.

I think a little bit of the Feng Shui, rejuvenate the chi flow has made a difference as well. Isn’t that part of why we do our spring cleaning?

I don’t even need to write a post for this design. The title is long enough, all by itself! There is a prompt when you enter the challenge that asks if your title meets the challenge requirements. I may have over thought it. 😏

Spoonflower partnered with Pantone for this, their Pantone Ultra-Steady Wallpaper Design Challenge. Now that is a mouthful. Pantone selected the limited palette.

I eliminated the greys right off. I wasn’t feeling “minty”, or ultra-bold. That left me with three soft hues. I did try a dark outline, to bring in another color. I prefer the soft tones on their own. I had in mind a deconstructed, or faded feel.

The Spoonflower Fans page on Facebook gives me an early peek to some of the designs. And WOW! The designers made awesome use of the palettes. Voting is open until May 9th. Can you believe we are in May already?

I am so glad you enjoyed this pattern. Even though it did not show well in the voting display. Thank you for taking the time to vote, and supporting my digital design devotion. 😍🙏

Wishing you Joy!

The 2023 February 30 day Creative Gathering has come to a spectacular end. Many new members joined us. Day one started off with a bang. 40 pieces of art posted. Our daily average was 33, and our final count was just under 1000 pieces of art created, 992.

I didn’t count the extra pieces that were posted in comments. Those would put the total well over 1025. Our September 2022 total was just over 700. Way to score, artists!

I know you will enjoy this peek at the amazing art that was created during our Creative Gathering. Be sure to visit our board on Pinterest to see them in more of a gallery view. It’s spectacular!
