Ethiopia Update
I have been getting lots of questions about how Kirstin and Shon are doing in Ethiopia. After a 13 1/2 hour plane ride they arrived at around 8:30 in the morning. Kirstin was extremely tired because she could not sleep on the plane.
Here is a bit from the email she sent me. "Today we visited two orphanages. One girl named, Yordanos stole my heart. (I didn't get a pic because we weren't allowed). I got to pray with her, do her nails, jump rope and make each other bracelets! I miss her so much. Pray for the spiritual warfare happening, that we will be present and love boldly."
"Tiebebu and I. Love this little boy(: #ethiopia"
I'll update you more when I hear more.

ArtyStART Monday: Texture And Dimension, Image Transfer, Lilacs... WHOOSH!
Hello Monday! Ready for a little watercolor inspiration!
On Friday, I shared a little FREEBIE digi. If you missed it, you can find it here. I really love that little line art illustration and wanted to have a little fun with it in the ole watercolor journal. AND... give you and idea of how to take the freebie and go SUPERNOVA with it. But... I'm a little lazy sometimes and I just want to get to it. AND, even though I could, I didn't want to re-draw it in the journal. Super quick, and messy as all get out, I decided to image transfer it into the journal. You can see a little tutorial on image transfer HERE. Super easy, and let's me get to the good stuff right away. When I do an image transfer, I don't always pull all of the paper away. I leave a lot of bits and pieces behind. After applying color mediums, the bits and pieces really add texture. It takes the work from flat to supernova toot sweet.
Hope you're having a super colorful Monday!
