Five Minute Watercolors

-

After working all day and then coming home to a house full of MORE stuff to do and worry about, I've been having trouble relaxing. Brian suggested I find something that I enjoy doing that could be done in 5-minute increments - meaning that he understands that I have little more than 5 minutes at a time to call my own. So I came up with my little watercolors.


I've always liked watercolor and, for some reason, only work small. Here is a sample of what I've been up to lately:

These are wonderful! I'm a fan of the tiny painting, myself. Love the idea of a 5-minute project, kind of like doing gesture drawings in college. Kudos, too, on the hubby who "gets" that you only get 5 minutes at a time, and encourages you to use that time creatively, that's terrific! :D

So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.)

This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
