I love art supplies. I have a LOT of art supplies. The choices are endless when I’m creating something, but I often have to remind myself: it can be simple.
When you have a lot of tools available the temptation is to want to use all of them, which can be to the detriment of the art piece. I love complex pieces with many layers that make you wonder ‘how did s/he do that?’, but sometimes it’s OK to pare it right back. Minimalism can be tasteful, it draws attention to the important elements and lets the piece breathe.
I have the same thing with blog posts. I feel they have to be long and in depth. So instead, I will stop writing now and leave you with some works in which I have tried to simplify.

This is helpful to me right now. I want to use everything I can think of on my journal page, and instead they all look the same. I will try to be simple at times, and also work on drawing faces, which I am loving. You are so inspiring to me, Iris. Thanks for being your beautiful, soulful self.
