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:

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.)

I originally published this in 2013 and it was super popular. It's good for those who don't want to use the measurement method, but use a template instead. The images are size adjustable, too, so you can make your templates whatever size you want! Enjoy!
