      Hello Dawn
      **thanks** enjoy your visit here today! :)

      I kinda "winged-it" with the paint colors, trying to get settled in my new place.
      Glad to read, you liked the color scheme... Love your support ~xx

    Fabulous! Time for me to purchase a brayer! (I've been wanting to but they're kinda expensive!) But a mixed media artist simply can't do without one.
    Love the botanical clippings and the bright colors you chose!

    You must have an unlimited supply of leaves in your new area. The prints look beautiful.

    Lovely! We must be on the same wave length; I woke up the other day thinking about fall leaves I gathered last year and how I can use them with my gelli plate!
