Day 2

Day 2 of 31 Postcards in 31 Days.

Well, it probably goes without saying, attempt 2 of my little silk screen didn’t work either.

I bought a couple of new books today, and wish I could just stay up all night reading them.

Book one is Heather Ross Prints. I read a review on Creature Comforts and picked it up after work at Barnes and Noble. I wanted to get it based on my interest in making my own patterns to be printed at Spoonflower, but while flipping pages I realized Heather is a designer who’s fabrics I’d already purchased (mushrooms, goldfish, bicycles, and gnomes).

The Second book I bought was Painted Pages by Sarah Ahearn . It’s been on my amazon wishlist for a while, but finally leafing through it at the bookstore I decided to buy after seeing 3 different prompts that I really wanted to try.

I also wanted to buy the Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman (I’ve been a long fan of his) reviewed here, but they didn’t have it at the bookstore. I will definitely add it to my amazon wishlist.

I can’t wait to read more of these books.
