Oh, hello! It’s been awhile. I have started a new December daily pattern challenge. I’m working in a Moleskine Pocket Watercolor Book. On the odd days, I am putting down two rectangles of watercolor paint, and then I am drawing over one a day with (my very favorite!!) Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. I decided to work a little smaller this month because the index cards I was working on in November were taking me 1-2 hours to complete after I got home from work at night. I know I’ll be busy this month with Christmas preparations, celebrations, and an upcoming trip to Columbus, OH, so I wanted this daily project to be something easy to keep up with. I may pre-paint some of the pages before I travel so that I only have to draw the pattern on top every day.

I’m sharing my patterns daily on Instagram, along with a lot of other creative and talented artists. Use #letsmakepatterns or #patternadaydec to join in. You can find more details at Anika’s blog. Also, check out her pattern images from October for some major color inspiration!
