We all know that art supplies are not cheap - so it's always great to get a gift card for a birthday or Christmas present. Then you can spend a few minutes choosing some new art supplies (or replacing those things you have about exhausted in your kit). So for my birthday, I got a gift card from Dick Blick Art Supplies - and bought some replacement pigment (2) and a new watercolor block I've never tried, and 3 new brushes. I had to kick in a bit of $ for the final cost, but it was fun picking out things. How about you? Do you like getting artist gift cards for presents?
(My birthday was in January but the family couldn't get together until February and I just received the things I ordered.)
I also pulled out a pack of Strathmore blank postcards I had with my printmaking paper, along with a block of 6 x 8 inch Fluid Watercolor paper. I'll be using them to play and make little things to send to friends :)
(Caroline, I have your address now and will be sending you something by next week - I imagine it will take a week to get there to snowy Scotland, but one never knows.)
Wish I could share the little bee painting on the postcard, but I ruined it :( Will try another.
