Missed 2 T's

So bad that I have missed a couple of T for Tuesday over at Elizabeth's. But wanted to join them this week. First off, what' in my cup today. Nothing fancy ... just felt like some good old Lipton and a bit of mint from the backyard. The container in the back are filled with cookies that my daughter made. But I was good and had my healthy oatmeal instead.
Black tea with Mint
The 5 weeks of Module 1 Surface Pattern Design at Make It In Design is over. Here's a sweet gift all the way from England (super sweet) for each student.

Even though the class is over, the private Facebook page is still buzzing. Everyone is producing a lot of work and setting up their web sites and coming up with their logo, etc. I am not as prolific but I am still doing what I like. I do find that the more I look at others work, the more influenced I am. That can be a good or a bad thing. I guess I will need to put a filter on what I am looking.
Here's one inspired by some jade plants in the backyard. I was very unhappy with the first color palette. I posted it at the class' private Facebook group and got some great feedback and encouragement and here's a few variations. Like always hours can be suck out just playing around with different color palettes. So much fun!


Ok now off to go visit the ladies at T for Tuesday!

  1. I know exactly what you mean by sucking hours making digital art. I'm no good at all, but when I try it, I look up five hours later and have accomplished nothing. I really admire what you made and your color choices, too.

    I used to have all kinds of mint in my yard, but somehow I managed to kill it with my lawn mower. This year I bought more and now can't wait to add it to tea and salads. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely art and tea with us for T today. Glad to see you back, too. Believe it or not, you were missed!!

    1. Thanks Elizabeth. Maybe you are being your own worst critic (I know I am) and your digital is not as bad as you think. Would love to see some of them. Thanks for not forgetting about me and I will do my best to be there every week.

  2. I have been absent, a bit too. Serendipity that your design (which is gorgeous by the way) is just like my rose in a tea cup!

  4. Since I haven't the vaguest idea how to do digital art, it always impresses me. I really like the colors you played with.

    1. Thanks Debbie. Playing with the colors was a lot of fun. Digital art is different but still similar. The pen we use is called a stylus instead of a brush or color pencil. : )

  5. That sounds like a fun class with a nice community. And your mint sprig looks like a nice addition to your tea. Happy (Belated) T Day!

  6. What a sweet gift to receive as part of your class. I know nothing about digital art but I do waste a lot of time in front of my computer-:) Browsing can be soo addictive.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Ariel. I am bad with just surfing the net too when I should be sketching and making patterns.

  7. I haven't got into digital art, but I do admire it. I spend enough time on the puter during the day as well as fiddling with scrapbooking photos, so I won't be starting that up.
    Sorry I am late.
    Happy T Day.

    1. Oh you are not late. Just glad you stopped by. We are all doing something a little different and that's part of the fun with Elizabeth's T-group.

  8. Hi, I happened to pop back and found you had posted. Mint tea is lovely. I don't know how to do the things on the computer like change colors, etc. Mystifies me. But it looks good. I think I like the orange one the best. Happy belated T-Day! :)
