Too many things are keeping me from writing a nice leisurely post, but it’s rare that anything can keep me from doing something creative each day. So, here’s what I’m working on now: I call them mini masterpieces.

I’m painting on paint chips (is that considered irony?). Every year I get a gazillion of these donated by businesses and interior designers after the chip colors are no longer en vogue and replaced with newer colors. They’re the perfect size to complete in one sitting and I’m enjoying the challenge of working on such a small canvas.

I may use them as gift tags, luggage tags, pretty fobs for key rings, who knows and who cares? I’m just grateful for a free and easy new project that doesn’t take up much time or space!
