This is becoming one of my absolute favorite prints to create.

Feeling Purple-y
The last couple weeks have been creating weeks for me. I just couldn’t stop creating. I always wanted to be sitting at my desk working that watercolor and making letters! After a couple of days, I realized that most of my prints were done with purple-y hues. On some I even used purple pen! Guess I’m totally feeling purples lately.
Do you ever see a current trend in your work? I’d love to hear about it.
“Splatter Color” Process
I wanted to share a little of my “splatter color” creative process, since clearly I’m obsessed with it. (If you haven’t been following the journey on Instagram, you should!!) First I splatter fresh water with a paintbrush, sort of strategically around my watercolor paper. I try to make it into a wreath shape so that I have space in between to write words.
Then I pick my colors, usually three, usually complimentary, and individually fill each droplet with pigment! Very tedious, but I do it this way because I’m actually fascinated by how the water snatches up the color. And I can guide it into swirls or zigzags if I want.
Then I let it dry, which usually takes two hours, and then I add the words!
