Garden daze! In a happy place here. These elephant ears are getting sssoooo big, theyโre amazing.๐ฑ๐๐๐ป๐ฑ I finished carving my second block inspired by this bunchโyippee! Bring on the ink.๐ Iโve taken longer than usual to get things done but I am abiding by the saying: Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. - Lao Tze (read that on a stress-relief tea bag tag๐). 2020โwhat a year! The saying that just says it all, amiright?๐ฅด With no markets in sight and no pop-up shops springing up, my focus hasnโt been on making cards and prints. But that doesnโt mean the ideas arenโt flowing. In fact, slowing down this year has me reevaluating and rethinkingโฆeverything! It feels like exactly the right time to embrace new thoughts, new ways of seeing the world, and new ways of doing things. Time to imagine my wildest dreams are possible.๐๐ป It seems crazy to be making any concrete plans though, so Iโm not. I am far from being in a place where I feel comfortable making the next big leap so I am taking time to just BE and to be open to opportunities that celebrate my skills. Iโm focusing on the things I can do each dayโfirst is work๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ป๐ป (so grateful!), creating art I love โ๐ป๐จ (more drawings and carvings on the way), taking online classes ๐ฅ (never stop learning), writing letters and postcards to try to get out the vote ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ (small acts add up to big change), and staying positive and appreciative of each day๐ (gratitude journaling). THANK YOU for reading, liking, and you being you.๐ Keep on keeping on friends! ใฐ๏ธ โ๐ป ๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ปใฐ๏ธ . . . . . . #ladyhanoverpress #botanicaldrawing #printmakingprocess #printforfun #linoleumcarving #linoprint #printmaking #printproject #slowcrafter #elephantears #elephantearsplant #alocadia #taroplant iloveplants #obsessiveart #artinprogress #artmakesmehappy #meetthemaker #artistinthegarden #inspiredbynature_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuBxwkgupV/?igshid=yna350lk01jw
