My friend Terri proudly announced that she was starting a new hobby--watercolor! I only had encouraging words because making art is a good alternative to scrolling on your phone, it promotes mindfulness and creativity, and has been healing for me, personally.
To support and enable her, I suggested a collaboration. I call it Claire x Terri Creative Collab.
On postcard-size watercolor paper, I made these painting on one side:
 |
| Spring Blossoms |
 |
| Frozen Desserts |
 |
| Under the Sea Creatures |
I left the other side of the page for Terri's own watercolor paintings using the prompts I started.
I mailed these to her (she lives in Canada) with the hope that she gets excited about our team project.
However, these postcards never made it to her. Sigh.
So I sent her a new batch (praying with all my might that they would get to Terri this time around):
Then she sent me a message that the envelope arrived...TADA! She was also excited to start.
On the left side is my fish.
And on the right side, Terri added her octopus. Isn't he cute? We call this piece, "Keep Swimming."
On the left side are a few flowers I drew.
And on the right side, Terri added more blooms. We call this piece, "Secret Garden."
On the left side, I painted an ice cream cone and a soft serve cone.
And on the right side, Terri painted some lollipops. We call this one, "Sweet Treats."
She even said, "Thank you for coming up with this idea. I enjoyed it so much! We definitely have to keep this going." We're planning to do doodles next.
If you have an artsy pal, why not try it out?
And that is how we turned some blank pages from blah to TADA!
