Sunshine State Inspiration

I spent last weekend on Fort Myers Beach with my husband's family. It did me a world of good to steal away from this cold New York winter for a few days. It was relaxing and gluttonous. I feel reinvigorated from nice amounts of Vitamin D. I can now get back to filling out fair applications, tax forms, and Create more stuff.

Creating has been on my mind the most. I've been toying with making a brocade for a while. I have a vision of printing a copper brocade with my new gocco and Letterpress my silhouettes in black on top. It will be as though the couples (my friends) that I've redrawn are communicating in our local bar, Sweet Ups. Well, that's the plan anyway. It always changes. Here's the brocade design.
I also realized that I could broaden my inspiration some. We saw so much beauty in Florida. Why aren't I drawing Palm trees, flip flops, and sea shells? Palm tress evoke a sunnier emotion to me than say an Oak tree with "Miss You" I've been concentrating too much on my comfort zone. More designs to come!
