How I started drawing

I started drawing when I was younger because we really couldn't afford the Hallmark cards, so I would take whatever paper was available at that time and fold it in 4 and make my own. I am now know for never buying a card unless I am out of card stock or just in a rush, which is rare.

So in my journey of exploring my art and where I have come to with all the mediums that I love playing with, I remind myself of where I started. I must say that it is probably the most enjoyable part of what I do when I create anything just like sketching. I get my ideas for larger paintings from this and now I make at least 2 to 3 cards a week. I have a stash of them. Some I didn't really like, I cut and paste and scan them in various ways. One thing I have never thought of is selling them but I think I will now because they are all different, no matter how many times I think that I re-do the same idea just like the rest of my art work.

Here are some of the latest that I have done this week and I will be posting a few on my Etsy store.

    Excellent site you have here but I was curious if you
    knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get responses from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
    Kudos!

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of
    your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve got an
    awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

End of a collection #Breweriana

 For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out.  update this batch which had lots
