Try. Everyday. An ACEO

2.5" x 3.5" mixed media on Bristol Board.

This is my first piece in about a month.  I feel a little rusty, but I'm glad to be back to work. 

Just like always, I just happened upon the text I included here while flipping through a magazine. The words I clipped seem like a good mantra for me right now. I'll try, everyday, just to do a little something artistic for myself.

What is your current mantra?

As lovers of vintage and handmade, Matt and I would love to register for our upcoming wedding on Etsy. There are so many incredible things here that you just can't buy in a store!  

Though I created this collection all by my lonesome, I know that Matt would agree with my choices. He is a huge fan of the "Mad Men" style.... He's drawn to Midcentury Modern, all things Scandinavian, clean lines and simple silhouettes. As you can see, his tastes have rubbed off on me! 

I was able to import this Etsy Treasury, links and all, with a hack I came across on Whale Shark Websites by way of Twitter.  What an easy way to import a ton of links in a hurry! 


I hope to have some new artwork to show you in the near future, but don't hold your breath. There just doesn't seem to be time for that at the moment. 


Ta-Ta!
