Believe in New Beginnings ATC

I just finished making my four ATC for our groups monthly exchange. This months theme is "Believe in New Beginnings" and I decided to try my hand at watercolor sketches. Here are the results...

I am enjoying this new medium, and it will travel well, and since travel seems to be very much in my future, I guess that is a good thing. It is also Every Inchie Monday and the theme this week is "fire"...
These really do look so much better in reality than they do scanned, I sure wish you could see them!
Until next time...enjoy.

      Thank you, rtquilter! I found this snippet of paper and realized it was the perfect color for a fire themed inchie!

      Thank you Ginny! I am in a group that trades every month, with a different theme, and we have signed up hostess and themes for well into 2013!

      Thanks for visiting, Pauline, glad you like my watercolors. I am pretty excited about learning a new medium, something that travels well, and takes very few supplies. It is surprising how tiny the work can be and still have tons of detail...

      Thanks Trillian, that means a lot to me! After all, you got me started on the little darlings! I never would have guessed how much could be said on a single square inch of paper. Thanks for hosting us each week!

      Thank you ArtMuseDog and Carol, I love hearing feed back when trying out a new medium. For that matter, if it's positive, I love all feedback! :-D
      I had to Google namaste, to see what it meant,
      "It is a customary greeting when individuals meet, and a valediction upon their parting."
      Do I have that right? If so, then namaste...

    really quite inspired. I love the wee-ness of your work.

    I, too, work very small since I live with my Service Dog, Gracie Mae, in The Wee Cottage which is just 300 square feet.

    I am curious about "inchies" and would love to explore them more. I had heard of them a couple of years ago but this was a sweet reminder!!

    so nice to "meet" you here on CED.

    safe travels!

      Thanks for your comment, Currie Silver. I am so glad you stopped by. I hope you do explore inchies and perhaps get involved, they are so much fun and rather addicting! See you around CED!
