By now you know that I am obsessed with Hungarian Folk Art. Traditionally in Hungary this type of art is painted. It is also embroidered onto cloth. I use markers when I draw them. I've tried watercolors but I don't get the bold, saturated colors I want. I've tried acrylics but I had trouble getting the paint to behave. Finally today I had an epiphany, not sure why it took me to long to figure this out...I painted with very watered down acrylics and I think it's a great first effort but there is definitely room for improvement....
There are 30 minutes between the time my daughter's school day ends and my son
gets out. I spent that time drawing.
Ready for paint.
Painting in the flowers. I went over the pen lines one more time after the paint dried.

Detail of my wedding shawl which I pulled out for inspiration
Detail of my mom's tablecloth. Just a picture on my iPhone. I tried to "borrow" this but she wouldn't let me take it because most of the things I "borrow" never make it back to my mom's house. :)

Another little peak at my jewelry.
Hoping to have my etsy shop up and running soon!!
