The Cuties in Teacups cards are finally finished! Whenever a project takes longer than I anticipated it's easy to get bored, uninspired, and question my worth and career choice as an artist. Those feelings are amplified when I'm not happy with the result, but on the other side I wonder how I was ever upset in the first place when I'm really proud of the finished product! (The preferred feelings, of course.) As I was painting these I was reminded that I do this for fun (cheesy, I know), and it's easy to focus too much on the business side of art and make artistic choices based on the most money savvy decision. I was hesitant to paint the owl's cup black because it would be slightly more expensive to print than the others with so much black ink, but then I thought, f*ck it, I do what I want, and couldn't be happier with it. And those are my deep artist thoughts of the day.

ReplyDeleteI just wandered what paper you use to print on?
Many thanks!
Ah! Thank you so much Amie! I use card stock from my local craft store that's thicker than typical scrap booking card stock. I would tell you the exact weight of the paper but the package doesn't say :(
