Snagging a spot. I’ll be right back to share the really pretty 4x6 that @geekybookworm made for me.

Okay, phew, I’m back!

She got a how to book with guoache techniques, and made this beautiful piece for me!

I love anything with mountains and I love the flowers.

Thanks!

I received this pretty 4x6 that @Lynx made for me. She has been playing with different techniques with alcohol inks and made these amazing flowers for me! I love it! Thanks!

@GeekyBookworm - I love the colors you chose. That soft pink is so relaxing and gives a calmness to the piece.

@Lynx - I think it turned out wonderful. The inks give a lot of texture and movement. Great job!

You both made such pretty pieces!

@GeekyBookworm the soft sunset/sunrise colours are beautiful, and all the variation in the flowers looks great!

@Lynx the alcohol inks give such lively, interesting effects, very cheerful!

I love both of these! Flowers and mountains are personal faves of mine as well. Beautiful renditions and a great start to our gallery!

The mountain scene looks so restful and the alcohol ink flowers have a lot of energy- a nice balance between the two! Lovely work @Lynx and @GeekyBookworm!

@pioneer9 What an adorable little elephant!!! I love his expression!

@gozer That sweet kitty face is soooo good! And how adorable to send along a coloring sheet.

I popped mine into the mail today, but we’re getting a super crazy snowstorm right now so I hope it gets picked up tomorrow. Depending on how much snow we get, if they don’t get picked up, I’ll take them to the post office tomorrow. Sorry for the delay, swap partners! I’ve worked 21 hours of OT since the beginning of January so I’ve been exhausted and have put off getting mine in the mail until today, not knowing it was going to be snowmageddon here.

@pioneer9 I have always been a fan of your style. I love Irwin. He looks like he played a prank and is waiting to see if anyone noticed.
