All that goat's milk soap I am making for a spring giveaway deserves a card to go with it. I found this goat stamp online and thought it would be perfect. Look at all those cute little goats I get to play with.
I know, I know...I just showed off my new gouache set but when I saw this itty bitty set of an unusual watercolor/gouache hybrid I had to have it too.....
....and a new coloring book to go with it. This one is huge and it has lots of really, really nice designs on perforated paper that I can pop out and print. I love it.
I was feeling guilty about my coloring book adventure. It seemed like a cop out for someone with an art degree so I forced myself into doing something original too. I bought a really nice compass and have been drawing mandalas.
They are fun to paint too but I have to admit that I really hate to draw anymore. I just like to paint.

Aww, the little frolicking goats are really cute. I have no artistic ability at all so those mandalas amaze me. The painting is so pretty too. I can never put colors together. I just don't have an eye for colors. I get in a rut, even with my knitting and crochet and use the same yarn all of the time.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!

Great supplies, that stamp is really cute! Even if I bought a compass I wouldn't be able to draw a mandala:)
