Inktober 2016: Day 12

#Inktober2016 Day 12: Experimented with the distressed ink that I got as a gift from my friend Dave. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to use them. I rubbed the paper raw, made poor color choices, and had a lot of “oops” moments. But that’s what happens when you learn something new.

Behind every good drawing are 1000 (or more) bad ones.

Inktober 2016: Day 6

#Inktober2016 Day 6: Dubrovnik, Croatia. I used a photo I took from our honeymoon 2 years ago as reference. We walked along the wall that surrounded the old city where you can see the buildings below, the sea, and everything in-between! Afterwards we went on a mountain bike tour through the countryside. It was easily one of our favorite stops on our Mediterranean cruise.

Inktober 2016: Day 2

#Inktober2016 Day 2: Today’s the last day of my sabbatical. One of my proudest accomplishments this break was staining the deck with my husband, thus completing the renovation of our deck. We rebuilt the upper deck with my in-laws’ help 2 years ago and then rebuilt the missing sections of the lower deck last year. It’s kinda silly to be so excited about a renovated deck, but its timeline ran parallel with some of the most difficult moments in both my husband and my lives. Finally completing the deck feels like completing a chapter for us. 

So here’s to new beginnings and an improved sun spot for our dog!
