Watercolor Designs
admin September 22nd, 2008
Watercolor design invites you to put on your “artist” mindset. Let your creativity flow, color outside the lines; in fact, try to make the lines disappear!
Focus on strokes of color and wavy lines that move the eye to create a mood, feeling or image. Even when working with straight-lined patterns, like Eternity Cross, create flow and movement within the cross. Watercolor design is very liberating and tends to capture your attention for hours on end!
Just keep moving those squares around, take a break, look again, and you will see something different each time. Give yourself a few days of looking at the design occasionally and when it feels right, go ahead and sew it together.
Remember, there are lots of different “right” ways to use this technique; enjoy yours!

I love your new website! The previous one was awesome too, but somehow this format really speaks to me with a lot of detailed information and is quite user friendly. I think you are a fantastic artist and I wish you much success. You have worked long and hard to get where you are today, and I admire you as a woman and especially as my sister. I love you…Karen
