It seems like in all areas of life your passion are asked of you. “What do you do?” “What are you passionate about?” “What interests you?” So why is it so hard for me to answer these questions successfully? I’m not sure. I know I love design. I love playing on InDesign and having an excuse to create something. I love texture and patterns and typography and handwritten fonts especially. I love DIY projects (even thought half the time they are unsuccessful). I love making cards for friends (and perfecting my bubble letter). I love being fired up about topic and writing about it.
This blog is to display those passion. If only there was one specific thought that an entire blog could revolve around! For this post I will focus on a DIY though. I love watercolor graphics. Actually that’s an understatement. I am obsessed with watercolor graphics. I love it’s texture and the way it makes business cards, resumes, blogs, and websites look. I think it makes beautiful cards and gifts and paintings. I bought some Crayola watercolors (professional, I know) at Walmart so I could turn a sketchbook I got for Christmas into a planner. This was the first time I attempted to use watercolors and I am an amateur for sure. Hopefully I will learn to make something cooler than swishy lines. Anyways here’s how it turned out:
I’m also really into Jesus and that flows into every passion of mine. So naturally my watercolored planner has that implemented. I’ve made a few birthday cards with my Crayola watercolors as well. I’m not really sure how you learn to watercolor, but I would really like to be better at it!
